In a commitment to student safety, the Ohio Legislature has enacted legislation requiring schools to publish information for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Line on student portals, planners, and ID badges. Middle and high school students will see this information on familiar platforms, such as Canvas, Clever, and the school website, as well as any new student ID tags issued in the future.

Bus routes will run on their REGULAR school day times. Students are not to have their cell phones during testing. Cell phones will have to be in lockers, or turned off and on the teacher’s desk. It is important that students who are testing are in attendance and on time each day.
