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> Elementary <strong>School</strong> will have a Blast-Off into a New Year on Tuesday, <strong>August</strong> 21 st from<br />

4:30-7:00 PM. Activities will start at 4:30 PM. You may walk through the building and visit classrooms<br />

from 6-7:00 PM. Class Rosters will be posted on Wednesday, <strong>August</strong> 15 th .<br />

<strong>Crestview</strong> Middle <strong>School</strong> will have their Open House on Monday, <strong>August</strong> 20 th from 6-7:30 PM.<br />

Parents and students should first report to the gym. Posting of Cougar Connection Rosters will be posted on<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 />

hours after <strong>August</strong> 17th will be 7:30 AM—4:00 PM, Monday-<br />

Friday.

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 />

Library on Friday, <strong>August</strong> 24, <strong>2012</strong> before the first home football game. Stop<br />

in anytime between 3:00-7:00 PM for face painting, sign making, football<br />

crafts and activities. No sign up required.<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 />
