End of School Year Parent Newsletter * June 2023
Happy Summer!
Greetings Depp Families!
As we head into the summer months, we would like to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and collaboration throughout the 2022-2023 school year. It has been a remarkable year filled with growth, discovery, and accomplishments for our students at Abraham Depp. We have witnessed their progress in various subjects, as well as the development of essential life skills such as working on our school habits (bravery, caring, ownership, and growth).
As we approach the summer break, we encourage you to continue supporting your child's learning journey. Reading books, engaging in educational games and activities, and exploring new areas of interest will help them maintain their knowledge and develop a lifelong love for learning.
Lastly, we would like to inform you that our school will be closed during the summer vacation, but we will be eagerly preparing for the upcoming academic year. Please mark your calendars for the K-5 back-to-school classroom walk throughs on the afternoon of Wednesday, August 16th (Times TBD). The first day for our 1st-5th graders is Thursday, August 17th. Kindergarten students will phase-in over the first two days (8/17 & 8/18). Phase-in days for kindergarten students will be emailed within the next few weeks.
Once again, thank you for being an integral part of our school community. We are proud of our collective achievements this year and look forward to another successful year filled with new opportunities, growth, and joy. Another summer newsletter (Blazer Blast) will be emailed in July with more information about the beginning of the school year.
Wishing you a restful and enjoyable summer break😎!

Julie Alloway, Assistant Principal

I can hear it already… 🎵 School’s 🎶 Out 🎵 For 🎶 Summer! 🎵
Ok, not quite but we are very close. So, what are your plans for the summer months? As a kid, the end of the school year and the anticipation of summer is exciting. As a parent, you might feel differently. Read on for some inspiration on things to do to make the most of the summer for you and your kid(s).
Science proves that being in nature and around bodies of water can immensely benefit a person’s overall well-being. My own family plans to spend our summer mostly unplugged and enjoying the great outdoors.
We live close to Alum Creek State Park and we are definitely water people. We will be going to the Alum Creek Beach a few times this summer at least. A fun fact: Alum Creek State Park's 3,000-foot beach is the largest inland beach in Ohio's state park system. You should check it out! It’s perfect for a day trip with packed lunches and beach toys.
We will also be adventuring through multiple nature parks this summer as well. One of our favorites is Shale Hollow in Delaware. We like to go play and explore in the creek there and the shale is perfect for skipping rocks. Another fun fact: Shale Hollow Park is home to several spherical rock formations called concretions. They are a mystery of nature!
Whatever you end up doing this summer, I wish you all a nice mixture of excitement, fun and relaxation.
