WOEA Day – No School for Students. There will be NO SCHOOL for Miami East students on Monday, October 19th, due to WOEA (Western Ohio Education Association) Day. This is an in-service day for teachers in the area.
Just a reminder, this cannot be stressed enough. Repeat after me...if anyone in your household is being tested...everyone needs to stay home until you receive the results. If in doubt… please contact Dr. Rappold before sending your son/daughter to school. It takes everyone’s teamwork to ensure everyone is safe.
Title 1 Services
The Miami East Board of Education uses the federally funded Title 1 program to assist in meeting the reading needs of our students. The Title 1 instructors, along with the classroom teacher, assesses and works with students, parents and other staff members to meet the needs of selected students. At Miami East Elementary, Title 1 funds are used to target and assist selected K-3 students. If your child qualifies for services, you will be contacted by our Title 1 reading instructors.
From the Office
All Birthday treats and snacks are to be prepackaged. We can no longer pass out open treats and snacks.
Parents dropping off or picking up early are to report to the elementary lobby. Mrs. Mumford will sign your child in if arriving late; will call and sign your child out if leaving early. Parents will wait for their child/children in the lobby.
How does the current Mask order impact the school’s mask policy? On August 4th Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine issued a new order, mandating that children wear face masks in classrooms across the state. The order applies to all schoolchildren from kindergarten through 12th grade.
The District understands the variety of views on this subject, but we must administer the most recent order given. Due to the fluid state of the facial covering directive the District will provide timely updates on the website if modifications are warranted moving forward.
