Reminders:

 

  • Upcoming Freshman Orientation: We are aware that due to the pandemic our current Freshman never had the chance to tour the high school in the Spring or at the beginning of the school year. We are holding a condensed orientation where students are able to meet some teachers, become familiarized with their schedules, find their lockers, and tour the building. Social distancing and masks are required!!!

    • Students with last names M-Z are invited to attend: Thursday, October 15th, 6-7 pm

 

 

  • The Ohio Department of Education is inviting parents of children with an IEP or who receives special services to fill out a short survey. The survey can be found here.

 

  • Students who signed up for the PSAT that will take place on October 14th, please check your email.  Mr. Phelps has sent parents and students an outline of arrival times and expectations for the day.

 

  • We need your help with the yearbook! Upload your pictures for the 20-21 yearbook. We want to see what online school looks like! All photos will be approved before inclusion in the yearbook. https://images.jostens.com/415713950

 

  • The 2019-20 yearbooks are here!  If you missed out on picking yours up from the High School during our pick up day, they will be distributed to students who are returning face-to-face the week of October 20th.  If your student is NOT returning face-to-face, please contact yearbook@talawanda.org to arrange a pick up time or plan for picking up your students' book.  If you would like to purchase an extra book, please email yearbook@talawanda.org as well to reserve your copy.  There are a limited number available, so please act quickly!
