Hard to believe summer is almost over!  We look forward to welcoming students back to school on  Wednesday, August 21st!

Listed below is a lot of important back to school information.

Student Handbook
Please review the 2019-20 Student Handbook

Home Access Updates
Make sure to keep your contact information updated on Home Access!  Should we need to contact you in an emergency, this is our source of your information.  It’s also very important to make sure your current email address is on Home Access to ensure you receive our weekly emails.

School Supplies
At the high school level, there is no set list of school supplies.  Supply needs vary depending on what courses a student is taking.  Teachers will provide a list to students once school starts.  Most students just need some basic supplies (paper, notebook, pen/pencil) to get started.

Free Lunch Applications

Free lunch applications can be done online this year!  Paper copies will also be accepted.

Technology Protection Plan

We strongly encourage you to enroll your student’s device in the Technology Protection Plan!

Coverage lasts for the current school year and is renewable each subsequent school year.

This year we trained hundreds of our students to be a part of our Hope Squad Team.  This is a school based peer to peer suicide prevention program.  Our Hope Squad Teams are made up of students selected by their peers.  They are trained to watch for at-risk students, provide friendship, identify suicide-warning signs, and seek help from adults.  Hope Squad members are NOT taught to act as counselors, but are educated on recognizing suicide warning signs and how to properly and respectfully report concerns to an adult. The Hope Squads have been doing amazing things in our schools and are already helping our students.

We know that mental health concerns and issues don’t just end as we close our doors for the summer.  We want to give our community some resources for when a friend, child or neighbor needs help.  Here is some information that Hope Squad has shared with us.

If someone is in imminent danger you must call 911.  Warning signs would be if someone says, “I’ve decided to kill myself,” or “I wish I were dead.”  It could also be if they want to harm someone else.

If there is no imminent danger, but it is possible, you should still contact the police.

Hilliard PD – 614-876-7321

Dublin PD – 614-889-1112

Columbus PD – 614-645-4545

Indirect warning signs could be if someone says, “I’m tired of my life,” or “My family would be better off without me.”

Please, talk with your children and keep an open dialogue.  Please, call for help when you need it.  This is a concern we share with our community, and together we can combat this and get our students the help they need.
