FOOD SERVICE NEW
Free meal food service is continuing for children up to age 18.
The food service plan is different for next week.
We will offer WEEKLY meal pick up on MONDAYs. This will begin on Monday the 30th.
Pick up time is 4:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M.
Curbside pick-up will still be held at the back of the middle school building.
The Thurston pick up location is the same and will be from 4:30 P.M. to 5:30 P.M.
The district will not be responsible for monitoring food allergies during this time. However, if your child has a severe allergy to peanut butter, please let us know, as we will routinely be using Uncrustables.
If you plan to participate in the weekly curbside pickup, please contact Jan Friedrich with the number of children in your home at [email protected] or text 614-579-8807 in order for us to better serve your students.
PARENT RESOURCES NEW
Each week all parents will receive an email from our school counselors with resources that might be helpful during this extended distance learning time period.
The first email was sent out yesterday, March 25th. If you did not get the emailed resources, please email [email protected] so that she can add your name to the parent list.
The topics for this week were: 1. Anxiety Regarding Coronavirus, 2. Fairfield County Community Resources, and 3. Social Emotional Learning Activities.
COMMUNICATION
All teachers are being asked to reach out to students (and parents) when academic progress in not being made. After five days and three attempts at communication, if there is no response, student names will be given to school administration to begin the proper attendance check/truancy filing procedures.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT GOOGLE ACCOUNTS
Students should be accessing their educational materials using their Google accounts. Even if students are using their own devices (PCs, laptops, MacBooks, phones, etc.), they should login to their Google accounts.
Logging into their Google accounts will help the district report attendance. Also, the district filters are in place to keep our students safe while utilizing the Internet.
Online meetings with teachers should take place using Google Meets. Click HERE for a Google Meets Cheat Sheet
