Crestview

Hi Families, After watching our pick up line for a few days, we have identified a few areas to address for student safety. Many days the car line traffic is packed up onto the road creating an unsafe situation for students, drivers and other vehicles. Beginning Monday, September 22nd we will adjust our afternoon pick-up line to move around the corner of the building for student pick ups. Cars will enter only from Mansfield-Adario Road as a ONE WAY, then pull around the corner and line up along the sidewalk. Students will exit the building from 2 zones: the 5 & 6 wing for those grade levels, and the Gym doors for our 7 & 8 students. We will have cones marking the new pattern and assistance for the first few days to get used to it. Cars will go around the parking lot to exit onto St. Rt. 96. Thank you for your patience as we adjust for student and community safety. Sincerely, Mr. Kinnard

Hi Crestview Families, In accordance with Ohio House Bill 96, the following policy regarding personal electronic devices will go into effect at the start of the 2025-2026 school year. Personal electronic devices, including cell phones, headphones, earbuds, etc, must be stored in lockers throughout the entire school day. While Ohio House Bill 96 does not go into effect until 1/1/2026, Crestview Local Schools will immediately begin adhering to this policy rather than adopting it mid-school year. Not only are kids more engaged and less distracted in the classroom without cell phones, it is positively impacting social interactions between students as well. The data shows that limiting cell phone use at school improves students' engagement with each other and decreases distractions. Thank you in advance for adhering to House Bill 96. Interested in more info? See more guidance from the Ohio Department of Education & Workforce https://education.ohio.gov/Topics/Student-Supports/School-Wellness/Cell-Phones-in-Ohio-Schools Sincerely, Mr. Kinnard

Crestview Families, Quick reminder update your child's information in Final Forms (https://crestviewashland-oh.finalforms.com/) . This information is needed & will assist us with transportation, communication, classroom info, athletics, & planning for this year's programs. Thank you!
