A grade level representative from each grade K-5 have been taking part in Math Advantage Professional Development. There are eight in-person sessions led by a Math Advantage representative over the course of a few months. These training sessions focus on the conceptual understanding of the foundational skills in math (addition, subtraction, division and multiplication). The sessions offered staff research-based diagnostic assessments, learning progressions and high quality instructional tools. As a district, we are working to expand and deepen our knowledge and understanding of the mathematical development for all students. #RepthatA

School buses are designed to be safer than passenger vehicles in preventing crashes and injuries. Ohio, like every state, has implemented stop-arm laws to protect children from other motorists.
School buses are created to be highly visible and include safety features including flashing red and yellow lights, stop-sign arms and cross-view mirrors. They also include protective seating and rollover protection features due to the high crash rating standards required on school buses.
Students getting on and off school buses are protected by laws that prohibit drivers to pass buses that are stopped dropping off and picking up students. Every step of your child’s daily bus ride has been carefully considered and accounted for in federal, state and local lawmaking, and our dedicated transportation specialists are always looking out for them. #RepthatA
