FROM THE DESK OF MR. RIFE
Fall is here! I hope everyone enjoys these last few days of that "summer weather." A couple reminders for our students and parents:
1. Fall fundraiser, World's Finest Chocolate, is well underway and students are doing a great job with this important fundraiser. Money raised goes towards field trips to offset some of the costs for our students. All money is due by October 10, 2019.
2. State test results will be sent home with all junior high students next week. Please look for these Family Reports.
3. All 7th grade students will be attending Penta Career Center for Manufacturing Day on Tuesday October 1st.
4. Parents of all 8th Graders attending the Washington DC Field Trip are meeting Tuesday October 1st at 5:30 PM in the gym. If your student is going on this field trip, please plan to meet at this time.

News from the School Nurse
Dear parents of new students and/or 7th and 12th grade students:
A letter has been sent home this week to those students’ parents /guardians who have not turned in proof of their child’s vaccination(s). This is a state requirement therefore it is extremely important that we abide by the rules. Our report deadline is October 15th. It is imperative to have all records in before this date. If your child has a medical reason and cannot be vaccinated, a waiver must be filled out (every year) and put on file.
If you have any questions please contact Nurse Gray @ 419-823-4381 ext. 4002
Cafeteria News
If your child/children were on free and reduced meals last year, and you believe you qualify this year you must submit a new application. Any meal charges, that occur prior to a new lunch application are the responsibility of the parent to pay. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

REMIND 101
Remind101 has been a valuable tool for the office to communicate with parents and students by text and/or email. We use Remind101 for quick reminders and JH deadlines and important events.
However, starting in July, Remind101 is limiting the service they offer for free.
In order for us to continue using the free service we have to separate each class into their own group.
If you are currently signed up for Remind101 for the Junior High you will no longer receive updates using that account as that account has been archived. You will have to re-sign up for the account(s) below that pertain to you.
Class of 2026 (6th Grade Parents)
Text @jhparent26 to 81010
Class of 2025 (7th Grade Parents)
Text @jhparent25 to 81010
Class of 2024 (8th Grade Parents)
Text @jhparent24 to 81010
At this time the office will not set up separate groups for students as we make daily announcements each morning and at the end of the day. The above groups are for parents only.
