From the Superintendent’s Desk… William D. Seder Jr.<br />
Going for the Gold…Every four years the world comes together to celebrate athletics<br />
at its finest and become inspired by the stories of those competing in the Olympic Games. The<br />
<strong>2012</strong> London Olympics will see 17,000 athletes from 205 countries compete in 26 events over two<br />
weeks.<br />
The founder of the Modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin, saw in the games an opportunity to<br />
create a universal set of principles that could be applied to sports, and more importantly, society.<br />
These common principles are known today as the Olympic Values.<br />
No. 1 EXCELLENCE<br />
“How to give the best of oneself, on the field of play and in life.”<br />
No. 2 RESPECT<br />
“Fair play and taking care of one’s health and the environment.”<br />
No. 3 FRIENDSHIP<br />
“How, through sport, to understand each other despite any differences.”<br />
No. 4 COURAGE<br />
“To have the ability to face any challenge and overcome any obstacle.”<br />
No. 5 DETERMINATION<br />
“To want something so bad, that nothing will stop you from getting it.”<br />
No. 6 INSPIRATION<br />
“Set an example that others will follow.”<br />
No. 7 EQUALITY<br />
“Everyone deserves equal opportunities, no matter who they may be.”<br />
I am certain that as I watch the Olympic Games later this month I will be inspired and reminded<br />
time and time again of the seven Olympic Values. Some will receive Gold, Silver, and<br />
Bronze medals for their efforts while others will receive the satisfaction of competing and doing<br />
their best. I can’t help but wonder if we applied the Olympic Values to society today what a wonderful<br />
world this would be. Most of us will never become Olympic Athletes but we can still<br />
“Go for the Gold.” We can model and instill these values in our children…for that I would give a<br />
standing ovation!<br />

High <strong>School</strong> News...Mr. Scott Will, Principal<br />
<strong>Crestview</strong> High <strong>School</strong><br />
P A G E 3<br />
Thomas Jefferson stated, “Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and<br />
define you.” Jefferson was a great man of action and innovation. Failure was never final in his mind. One of the<br />
ideas we would like our students to embrace is getting involved in their high school. There are many opportunities<br />
through athletics, volunteering and co-curricular activities to develop skills and strengths that can benefit our<br />
school community and individual experiences during the high school experience. Why should I be a part of it? Being part of something<br />
gives you confidence and ownership. I have had a great deal of conversations with former students throughout the years about<br />
what their greatest regret was during high school and without fail, many say they wish they would have been a part of a team, club or<br />
community service group. We would like to encourage opportunities for the development of the total student. Many times being<br />
part of a group challenges students to achieve greater academically. Please encourage your children to get involved!<br />
Meet the Teams and Open House will once again kick-off our year at the high school. Meet the Teams will be at the stadium<br />
on <strong>August</strong> 16 th beginning at 6:00 PM. In case of inclement weather we will move the activity to the gymnasium. After Meet<br />
the Teams we will have our Open House where we will hand out schedules, fees can be paid, and you will have the opportunity to<br />
meet your student’s teachers. We encourage all high school parents to take part in this night.<br />
Freshman Transition Day will be <strong>August</strong> 22 nd and we have a full slate scheduled for our freshman. All students will report<br />
to school on the 23 rd of <strong>August</strong>.<br />
We will have a rolling drop-off with our busses in the mornings so it will be essential for parents dropping off students and<br />
student drivers to be cautious when coming in and out of the parking lots. The staff and administration of CHS are excited about the<br />
upcoming year. Our custodial crew has worked through a very hot summer to get the building prepared for the next best year in your<br />
child’s education. Please feel free to call the high school office with any questions or concerns.<br />
GO COUGARS!<br />
High <strong>School</strong> Guidance Office… Mr. Alex Sharick, Dean of Students<br />
As the dean of students I want to help both our students and their parents in their pursuit of post-high school aspirations. The best<br />
advice that I can give both of them is - “Start early!” Contact me about any questions or concerns that you might have. You can<br />
reach me at (419) 895-1700 or by email at sharick.alex@crestviewschools.net.<br />
Incoming Freshman: Get involved! Students need to establish a solid GPA and do NOT accept failure as an option.<br />
Attention Sophomores & Juniors: If students want to take either the PLAN (ACT practice test) or the PSAT (SAT practice test)<br />
you must register as soon as school starts. There are only a limited number of these tests available and they must be paid for before<br />
your name will be added to the list. If you are planning on going to college in Ohio you usually need to take the ACT test, so sign up<br />
for the PLAN, and if you are going out of state you usually take the SAT. Juniors: if you want to try and qualify for the National<br />
Merit Scholarship you must take the PSAT as a junior.<br />
High <strong>School</strong> Office News: Any student that has not picked up their report card may stop in the office. Schedules will be<br />
available beginning <strong>August</strong> 16, <strong>2012</strong> during normal school hours.<br />

<strong>Crestview</strong> Middle <strong>School</strong><br />
Middle <strong>School</strong> News...Mr. Eric Yetter, Principal<br />
A last reminder that students beginning 7 th grade in<br />
the fall of <strong>2012</strong> will be required to have a Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria<br />
and pertussis) vaccine before the start of the <strong>2012</strong>-2013<br />
school year.<br />
This is a new state of Ohio vaccine requirement that<br />
became effective in 2010. The vaccine contains protection<br />
against pertussis, or whooping cough, a severe respiratory illness<br />
that causes violent rapid coughing that can last for<br />
extended periods of time. It is spread by coughing and sneezing.<br />
An updated immunization record must be turned into<br />
the middle school office by <strong>August</strong> 22, <strong>2012</strong>, in order for a<br />
student to be eligible to attend school. Any 7 th grade student<br />
who does not have proof of this immunization by <strong>September</strong><br />
11, <strong>2012</strong>, will be excluded from school until we have an<br />
updated immunization record. For special exemptions please<br />
refer to ORC 3313.671.<br />
WELCOME BACK COUGARS!<br />
I hope this finds you enjoying your summer break to its fullest. As we look forward to the<br />
beginning of the <strong>2012</strong>-13 school year, we will again be operating as an Excellent middle school.<br />
For the second year running, our students and staff accomplished their goal of passing ALL of<br />
the Ohio Achievement Assessments. We saw many of our subject area tests pass above 90%. The students of <strong>Crestview</strong><br />
Middle <strong>School</strong> deserve an enormous congratulation!<br />
We will have some familiar faces in new positions to begin the year, and some new faces as well. You will<br />
find Mrs. Markel working with 4 th , 5 th and 6 th graders as our new Title I Math instructor, and Mrs. McFarland has<br />
made the change to 4 th grade. Mr. Heath Garrison will be joining us as our new 6 th grade Language Arts instructor,<br />
and Mrs. Kara Bush will join the 6 th grade team as the Intervention Specialist. We wish Mrs. Brandon the very best<br />
in her retirement!<br />
There is a slight change this year to the beginning of our day. While there will be NO CHANGE to your<br />
students’ bus pick-up time, we will be getting them off the busses quicker and beginning our day a little sooner. Due<br />
to that fact, the tardy bell will ring at 7:50 am. Don’t forget the middle school will again be participating in the free<br />
breakfast program. This allows all students the opportunity to hit the cafeteria on the way to home room and pick up<br />
a free breakfast.<br />
All homeroom rosters will be posted at the middle school on Friday, <strong>August</strong> 10 th . The Middle <strong>School</strong> Open<br />
House will be held Monday, <strong>August</strong> 20, <strong>2012</strong>. We will start in the middle school gym at 6:00 pm and dismiss to<br />
classrooms until 7:30 pm.<br />
We are very excited about the coming year and we look forward to seeing you all in the hallways again, but<br />
we certainly don‘t want to wish away the summer. So, enjoy the time left and we will be hard at work preparing for<br />
another year of Excellence at <strong>Crestview</strong> Middle <strong>School</strong>.<br />
LAST REMINDER!<br />
IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS FOR <strong>2012</strong>-13 SCHOOL YEAR!<br />
If your child has not updated their immunization<br />
records we encourage parents to contact your personal physician,<br />
the Ashland County Health Department (419-282-4317)<br />
or the Mansfield-Ontario-Richland County Health Department<br />
(419-774-4540) to set up an appointment or get the times of<br />
clinic hours.<br />
The <strong>Crestview</strong> Middle <strong>School</strong> office will be open<br />
Monday—Thursday, 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM and on Friday 7:00<br />
AM to 11:00 AM beginning on <strong>August</strong> 1 st through the 17 th .<br />
You may also drop off your child’s updated immunization record<br />
at the <strong>Crestview</strong> Board of Education office. Their summer<br />
office hours are Monday-Thursday from 7:00 AM to 4:30<br />
PM and on Friday 7:00 AM - 11:00 AM. All school office<br />

Elementary News...Mr. Chad Lemon, Principal<br />
<strong>Crestview</strong> Elementary <strong>School</strong><br />
I hope you are enjoying the summer months. I want to say “Welcome” to our new students and<br />
their families joining us this fall, especially our new Kindergarteners. I look forward to introducing<br />
you to some of the new members of our excellent elementary team, and a few returning staff members<br />
in new roles!<br />
P A G E 5<br />
We will kick off our new school year with an Open House from 4:30-7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, <strong>August</strong> 21 st . Classrooms<br />
will be open from 6:00-7:00 p.m. for families to visit and drop off materials. Parents are also invited to visit<br />
on the morning of the first day of school to see the day get underway. Family activities on the first day will conclude<br />
with our annual parade which begins at approximately 10:00 a.m.<br />
Phone extensions for the district have changed. The new extension for the elementary is 16000. All elementary<br />
extensions will begin with “16” instead of “1”. Callers may still dial 1 when dialing the district at 419-895-1700 to<br />
reach the elementary.<br />
Classes will begin for all elementary students at 7:50 a.m. for the <strong>2012</strong>-2013 school year. This will reduce<br />
the amount of time students are held on the bus after arriving on campus, increase available time for instruction, and<br />
should decrease disciplinary incidences occurring on the bus.<br />
Bus routes should not be dramatically affected. Dismissal time will remain unchanged at<br />
2:45 p.m. The rear entrance of the building will be open from 7:35-7:50 a.m. for students who<br />
are arriving by car. Students arriving after 7:50 a.m. will be considered tardy.<br />
As we head into the final days of summer vacation, I want to encourage families to begin<br />
to set aside a few minutes a day to read or review math skills. Any time you can spend on<br />
these skills will help your child transition more smoothly back into the school year.<br />
Football Fever Program at the <strong>Crestview</strong> Branch Library<br />
Come support the <strong>Crestview</strong> Cougar Football team at the <strong>Crestview</strong> Branch<br />

Transportation News<br />
Bus Requests<br />
Parents Note!<br />
Many of our buses are<br />
quickly reaching capacity in terms<br />
of the legal limit of students that<br />
can be transported. In the past,<br />
we have tried to accommodate<br />
bus change requests particularly<br />
at the elementary school for lastminute<br />
(the day of) baby-sitting<br />
arrangements. We may not be<br />
able to honor these requests<br />
because of overcrowding. The<br />
following information is policy as<br />
stated in the bus handbook:<br />
If a student is to be picked up<br />
or dropped off at a regular babysitter<br />
during the entire school<br />
year, parents must provide this<br />
information to the transportation<br />
supervisor prior to <strong>August</strong> 15 th .<br />
Should changes in the baby-sitter<br />
be necessary during the school<br />
year, parents must notify the<br />
transportation supervisor one (1)<br />
week prior to the change. Any<br />
changes, however, will depend<br />
upon these reasons: bus population,<br />
location of pick-up and dropoff,<br />
and length of route.<br />
Students are not permitted to<br />
ride on a bus other than their<br />
regular bus either AM or PM<br />
except in an emergency. Emergency<br />
changes may only be made<br />
with the principal’s or transportation<br />
supervisor’s permission.<br />
An emergency IS NOT: Last<br />
minute baby-sitting arrangements<br />
or changes, slumber-birthdayafter<br />
school parties, overnight<br />
stays and evening activities<br />
involving school, community or<br />
church. We would ask your support<br />
regarding this matter. The<br />
safety of each and every student is<br />
by far most important.<br />
Thank you for your cooperation!<br />

Search For Students With Disabilities<br />
<strong>Crestview</strong> <strong>Local</strong> <strong>School</strong>s are participating in an effort<br />
to identify, locate, and evaluate all children who may<br />
have disabilities. <strong>Crestview</strong> <strong>Local</strong> <strong>School</strong>s have<br />
responded vigorously to federal and state mandates<br />
requiring the provision of a free appropriate public<br />
education regardless of a child’s disability. But before<br />
we can serve children, they must be found. All information<br />
regarding testing or identification of children<br />
with disabilities will be held in strict confidence and<br />
released to others only with parent permission or as<br />
allowed by law. <strong>District</strong> policies and procedures for<br />
special education are available in all district offices.<br />
<strong>Crestview</strong> <strong>Local</strong> <strong>School</strong>s are interested in meeting the<br />
needs of children with disabilities. If you have or<br />
know of a child who may have a disability, contact<br />
any school office for more information or help.<br />
Parents Right to Know Teacher Qualifications<br />
You have the right to know about the teaching<br />
qualifications of your child’s classroom teacher. The<br />
federal law, No Child Left Behind, requires that any<br />
local school district receiving Federal Title I, Improving<br />
the Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged,<br />
must notify parents of each student attending any<br />
school receiving Title I that they may request<br />
information regarding the professional qualifications<br />
of the student’s classroom teacher, including the<br />
following:<br />
1. Whether the teacher has met the Ohio teacher<br />
licensing criteria for the grade level and subject<br />
areas in which the teacher provides your child<br />
instruction.<br />
2. Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency<br />
or temporary status that waives State licensing<br />
requirements.<br />
3. The college degree major of the teacher and any<br />
other graduate degree or certification (such as<br />
National Board Certification).<br />
4. Whether your child is provided services by<br />
instructional paraprofessionals (sometimes called<br />
teacher aides) and their qualifications.<br />
5. You may request this information by a written<br />
request to: <strong>Crestview</strong> <strong>Local</strong> <strong>School</strong>s, 1575 State<br />
Route 96, Ashland, Ohio 44805. You may fax<br />
your request at 419-895-1733. The following<br />
information must be on the request: Child’s Full<br />
Name, Parent/Guardian Full Name, Address,<br />
City, State, Zip, and Teacher’s Name.<br />

Elementary Lunch Price Increase<br />
Due to requirements in the Healthy,<br />
Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, we<br />
will be raising the price of an Elementary<br />
lunch from $2.30 to $2.35 and the<br />
Middle & High <strong>School</strong>s from $2.50 to<br />
$2.55 for the <strong>2012</strong>-2013 school year.<br />
EZpay – Last year, many parents<br />
took advantage of paying for school<br />
fees and lunches by using EZpay, our<br />
on-line payment system. All you need<br />
is your student’s 6-digit ID number,<br />
click on the EZpay link on the<br />
C r e s t v i e w w e b s i t e a t<br />
(www.crestviewschools.net) and you<br />
can set up an account. Even if you<br />
don’t pay for lunches or school fees<br />
using EZpay, you can still set up an<br />
EZpay account to view your student’s<br />
lunch account balance or view their<br />
lunch history. You can obtain your<br />
student’s 6-digit ID number by contacting<br />
the Food Service department at<br />
419-895-1700, ext. 5002 or by calling<br />
the secretary in your student’s building.<br />
NOTE: There is a convenience<br />
charge of $2.00 each time you use the<br />
EZpay system to make a payment.<br />
Charging Lunches – Our guidelines<br />
for lunch charges will remain the<br />
same. Only a complete lunch may be<br />
charged – no ala carte items may be<br />
charged. Students in the Elementary<br />
are allowed three charges; Middle<br />
<strong>School</strong> two charges; and High <strong>School</strong><br />
one charge. When a charge is paid, a<br />
student is then eligible to charge<br />
again.<br />
Free & Reduced Meals – Free and<br />
Reduced applications will be sent<br />
home with your children on the first<br />
day of school. They should be available<br />
on the school web site in early<br />
<strong>August</strong>. If you are direct certified,<br />
you will receive a letter from the Food<br />
Service Department during <strong>August</strong><br />
and you will not need to fill out an<br />
