| Hello Green Bear Families, Please remind your children to respect our facilities by cleaning up after themselves at the end of their lunch period, and to be sure to not leave trash on the elementary fields when attending home football games. Your help in reinforcing these expectations is appreciated! A reminder to parents and caregivers entering the building through the Raptor system: all visitors must report to the main office. Following building safety protocols is important for the safety of all our students. We saw lots of smile this week with picture day. Thank you to parent volunteers Erin Hart, Jen Dille and Lauren Douglas for all their help making school picture day run so smoothly! I can't believe we are already moving into the 4th week of school! Everyone is settling in and getting back into school routine. I am enjoying getting to know more parents and students as I work the car line, stop into classes and have conversations in the cafeteria. I would like to thank the many parents who have welcomed me into the school community and look forward to working with you this year. Go Green Bears! Rose Gaiffe Interim Elementary Principal rgaiffe@ohschools.org |

| PBIS Cub Cave is looking for volunteers The PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) team is looking for caregivers to volunteer during school hours at the Cub Cave. The PBIS program is geared towards teaching and reinforcing positive behaviors and expectations for all ages within the school district. At the elementary school one of the ways we reinforce these behaviors is by students earning Cub Cash for meeting and surpassing expectations throughout the building. Students then have an opportunity to visit the PBIS Cub Cave each week to buy miscellaneous rewards. We are looking for caregivers to help run the weekly shop times. If you are interested in helping with the PBIS Cub Cave, please email Mrs. Celizic and Ms. Syrowski to sign up. Once we have solidified the schedule with the homeroom teachers, we will reach out with a sign up sheet for specific times. Thank you so much for your help and support! |

| Reminder for Pick up on Pardee Island (Loading Den) Parents please be sure you have the yellow dismissal card with your last name prominently displayed in your car so teachers can see who you are picking up. If you do not have your sign, for the safety of the students, we will ask you to pull around to the end of the line so we can check your ID. We want to be certain we are putting students in the car with parents/guardians who are authorized to pick them up. If you need an extra dismissal card for another pick up person, please email Jeanie Hardman with that request and we will make sure your child is given the card. |
