Last week was Stay Safe, Think Train Week. Trains are very present in our community. Students need to be aware of their hazards even when they are sitting idle. Here are some important safety reminders to keep in mind around railroad tracks: Look and Listen – Always be alert for trains when approaching tracks. Obey Signals – Wait for signals to clear and never go around gates. Stay Focused – Keep distractions away, especially near crossings. Cross Carefully – Only cross when it's safe and ensure no train is approaching. Never pass through a stopped train. Report Hazards – Let authorities know if you spot unsafe conditions near tracks.

This collaboration aims to promote student attendance and engagement, ensuring every student has the support they need to succeed.

Hey Spartan Families-just a reminder that our annual Chris Brecht State Farm White Out Carnival and our football home opener against Berkshire are this Friday. September 6th. Still need your white out shirt-you can get yours for only $5 at the State Farm office on Main Street. The carnival will take place from 4:30-6:30 and kickoff is at 7pm. We are sorry to announce that Chomps, the Browns mascot, is under the weather and has a vet appointment on Friday. So he will not be at the carnival. But when he is feeling better, he will be making a visit to our schools. We will have give-aways from the Cleveland Browns as well as Stay in the Game attendance pledges for our students to sign at the carnival. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday night-remember wear WHITE! Go Spartans!!

Happy Labor Day Spartans! Wishing everyone a relaxing and enjoyable day as we celebrate the hard work and contributions of all. Enjoy your time with family and friends! See you back at school tomorrow!

Dear Spartan Families, It has been a truly uplifting first day of the 2024-2025 school year! We are thrilled to share that enrollment is UP, students enjoying school breakfasts and lunches are UP (thanks to the free-for-all program this year), and students getting home on time are UP. While there are always a few first-day hiccups and jitters, I am incredibly proud of how our staff and families came together to make this day a success. By 4:55 p.m., all buses were empty, and we anticipate this time improving over the next few days. The smiles on the students' faces matched the smiles on the fries in the cafeteria, and we hope to see this positive energy continue throughout the year. Thank you for your support and partnership. Have a wonderful evening, Spartan Families! Warm regards, Mrs. Riley Superintendent

The 2024-2025 school year begins tomorrow, and we are thrilled to see our students return!

Welcome back, Spartans!
