 | Wheels in motion Recently, the district added a third school bus to our growing fleet. This lease-to-own bus will be paid off through the permanent improvement budget over the next five years, allowing us to launch a replacement cycle that keeps our buses strong and ready to take our Green Bears on their athletic and academic adventures. In other finance news, the February monthly financials were reviewed at this week's Board of Education meeting. You can view the video presentation and report at the links below. As always, our Treasurer/CFO Mr. Siloy welcomes your finance and operations questions at tsiloy@ohschools.org. |

| Mark your calendars: Spring state testing Our Green Bears in grades 3-11 are ready to show what they know! State testing begins soon, and these assessments give our teachers valuable insights to strengthen curriculum and instruction. High school students will also have opportunities to meet graduation requirements through these tests. Attendance is important during testing windows, and we want every student to shine after all the hard work they've put in this year. If your child needs to miss a test day, we'll work with you to schedule makeup testing. See the letter regarding state testing from Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Dr. Miller, with the schedule for all tests here. |
