PRESIDENT'S LETTER

Thank you to all the parents, teachers and staff that devote their time to our school and children
throughout the year. Please don't forget to look at our two new bulletin boards in the main hallway
of the school. One board is dedicated to upcoming news and events for the PTO/School. Our other
bulletin board, entitled PTO for Parents has educational information geared towards parents. This
month the featured information is on how to help your children with their homework.

Thank you to all PTO Board and Committee Chairs this year!! We have a great group of people
working very hard for our school and our children. We are all very thankful for YOU!

Don't forget to check out our calendar of events for 2010.

IMPORTANT - Parent Advisory

To:      Parents of Scioto Elementary School Students
From: Julie Nolan, Principal
Date:   January 6, 2010
Re:      New Building Entrance Procedures

Olentangy Local Schools has always tried to create warm and welcoming learning environments
for students, parents and other guests. However, the safety of our students and staff members
is our top priority. Beginning January 11, 2009, you will notice some new procedures when you
enter our school during school hours.

Up until now, exterior doors other than the main front entrance have been locked. The main
entrance doors remained open as a way for parents to enter the building for school related visits.
While we will continue to encourage parents to be a vital part of our school environment, including
school visits, we will be locking the front entrance door during school hours. Instead, all visitors
will be required to press the button on the panel by the left front door to call the office and identify
themselves before gaining access to the school lobby area. Once inside, visitors will still be required
to report to the main office to sign in and out and receive a visitor’s badge that must be displayed
throughout your stay.

This change will still provide a friendly environment for students while creating a safer school for all.
Should you have any questions about these procedures or any other school related item, please feel
free to contact the school office at (740) 657-4800. We are happy to help!

12/17/2009    SUPERINTENDENT UPDATES COMMUNITY REGARDING ALL-DAY KINDERGARTEN
Olentangy Superintendent Wade Lucas, Ed.D. updates the status of all-day kindergarten through
his latest Blog entry which may be viewed online at http://olentangyschools.net/blog/superintendent/.
In his Message to the Community, Lucas discusses the physical and financial challenges Olentangy will face
in order to implement all-day kindergarten and information he received during discussions
with State Superintendent Deborah Delisle.

 

Think Green!!!
Please help the PTO raise money and be a good citizen as well. Simply put your inkjet or laser cartridges in a baggie, and send them in with your child to school. We'll do the rest.

Thank you!

mike-amy@columbus.rr.com

WANTED:
Any used ink/printer cartridges.

VOLUNTEERS
We still need you!

To volunteer at the school whether in the classroom, for a PTO event, or even a field trip you need to attend VIP training. If you have already attended a VIP training at another Olentangy
School you do not need to go through training again. However, we need you to stop by and
complete a Scioto Ridge VIP form so we have record of you attending a training in the district.
This training is only needed once in your lifetime at Scioto Ridge. !
Thank you!
If you have any questions, please contact
Cindy Jakupcin at cindyjakupcin@aol.com.
