Please remind your student to strive for great grades in their classes, especially if they are a student who typically does not "test well". Here are the requirements for each seal:

Citizenship - earn a B or better in both US History and Government

or score a 700 or better on the end of course exams for US History and Government or earn a B or better in a CCP US History and CCP Government class.

Science - score a 700 or better on the Biology end of course exam

or earn a B or better in an advanced science - such as Environmental Science, Physics, Chemistry or earn a B or better in a CCP Science class

We are excited to partner with Muskingum Ohio Valley ESC Driving School to bring driver’s education closer to home. This does not mean that we have driver’s education classes back at North Union but it does, however, mean that we have staff at North Union who will be able to facilitate your child’s driver’s education through Muskingum Valley ESC Driving School. This was made possible through the CODE grant that several districts in Ohio applied for. Please see the attached flyer for more information.

As we gear up for another exciting winter sports season, recent events surrounding school athletics, around the country, prompt us to stop and reflect upon our own philosophies and behavior as we prepare to cheer FOR our Wildcats. The OHSAA along with the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFSHSA)came out with the "Respect the Game" campaign years ago, but its Fan Fair Play Code still reigns true.

Fan Fair Play Code (OHSAA "Respect the Game" Message)

I will remember that young people play sports for THEIR enjoyment.

• I will have a realistic expectations and will understand that doing one's best is just as important as winning. I understand that ridiculing an athlete for making a mistake is not acceptable behavior.
• I will respect the official's decisions and will encourage others do the same.
• I will respect and show appreciation for the coaches and understand that they have given their time to provide sport activities for our young people.
• I will encourage athletes and coaches to play by the rules and to resolve conflicts without resorting to hostility or violence.
• I will show respect for my team's opponents because I realize without them there would be no game.
• I will not use bad language and will not harass athletes, coaches, officials or other spectators.
• I will always show good sportsmanship. Young people learn by example.

Games get heated, we are passionate about our wildcats, and we love our kids. Let's show them our support every game by presenting ourselves as adults, parents, and staff that adhere to values and character that model positive behavior. Go Wildcats!
