| Hello Green Bear Families, Today, the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce released the State Report Cards and I am happy to share that Ottawa Hills Elementary School received an overall 5-star rating. This is the highest rating that indicates the school "significantly exceeds state standards in academic achievement." Congratulations to all our staff and students! This week parents should have received an email with a code from Inter-State Studio to view and order school pictures. Please continue reading for important upcoming dates and happenings in the elementary school as well as safety reminders about drop-off and pick-up times and using designated cross walks. We also are sharing recent news from some amazing Green Bear students. Rose Gaiffe Interim Elementary Principal rgaiffe@ohschools.org |

| Late Start Reminder
A reminder that next Wednesday, September 18, school will start at 10 a.m. This planned late start allows our teachers and staff the collaborative time they need to implement MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Support), which is a required framework that helps schools provide academic, behavioral, and social-emotional supports to students.

| Safety Reminders for drop-off and pick-up times During arrival and dismissal times, please remember that everyone should be crossing at the crosswalks, and not walking through the parking lot. This helps model safe behaviors for our Green Bears and ensures that cars are looking for pedestrians. Additionally, if you are picking a student up in the carline, the yellow sign with the student(s) names should be visible. If you (or another guardian /caregiver) do not have the yellow sign, you will be asked for an id and to pull through the carline so we can verify pick up. |
