FLYER FAIRLAWN JETS Volume 37 | August 2015 | Number 1 Community + Commitment = Quality Education Board of Education/Superintendent (937) 492-1974 – Elementary/Middle/High School Office (937) 492-5930 Non-Profit Organization U.S. Postage Paid Permit No. 47 Sidney, OH 45365 ECRWSS LOCAL PATRON Steve Mascho Superintendent The Superintendent’s Message Welcome to the 2015-2016 school year! Like most of you, I am anxiously looking forward to the new school year. Each new school year brings many new challenges for our students and our staff. I am sure that the 2015-2016 school year will be no exception. The information in this edition of the Fairlawn Flyer should be very helpful as you prepare for the new school year. All of our staff members have been working hard to prepare the building and our curriculum for the students when they return. This year’s Open House is Monday, August 17 from 5-8 pm. We hope to see you there! On the following day, Tuesday, August 18, school begins! We have four new teachers on our staff this year. You will find their pictures and biographies inside the Flyer. They are great people and we are happy to have them as the newest educational members of our staff. Please make a special point of meeting them at the Open House. They are Amber Wehrkamp who will be our 9-12 Intervention Teacher, Mary Watercutter who will be our 6-8 Intervention Teacher, D. J. Heintz who will be our 9-12 Math Teacher, and Matt Hickman who will be our 6-8 Math Teacher. Each of these teachers will bring a special skill set to our staff. For the last two years, we have been introducing the concept of gradelevel teams in our school district. This year, Fairlawn will fully implement the concept of grade-level teams. There will be a total of five teams: K-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-8, and 9-12. The teachers in these teams Fairlawn Flyer Published by The Board of Education of the Fairlawn Local School District 18800 Johnston Road Sidney, OH 45365 will work together with all students at their grade level. It is our goal to see that the teacher who is the strongest in a particular subject area works with all of the students in that team in that particular subject. The teachers will get to know the children better and will be able to follow the children for more than one year and assure mastery of skills in that subject area. We are excited to have the opportunity to fully implement grade-level teams at all grade levels. Over the last two years, when we partially implemented grade-level teams, we learned one important lesson - they work! We are confident that the children will achieve at a higher level than ever before. Much has been in the press and on television about testing during the last year. The budget bill recently passed by the Ohio legislature and signed into law by the governor did make important changes to the testing process for this upcoming school year. We certainly do not have all of the details yet as the Ohio Department of Education works with the State Board of Education to implement the new mandated testing program in Ohio. The details of the implementation will be shared with you in future Flyer editions and on our website. But, this much we do know for sure, there will still be state testing. It did not go away. However, there will be less testing and, in some cases, it will be done by a different company. The math and reading tests will no longer be the PARCC tests (The Partnership BOARD OF EDUCATION Bob Gold, President Andy Brautigam, Vice-President Tony Bensman Matt Caldwell Rita Gilfillen Keith Doseck, Treasurer Steve Mascho, Superintendent for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers). The new math and reading tests will be AIR tests (American Institutes for Research). This company already currently supplies the tests for science and social studies in Ohio. We are being told that the state tests for reading and math will be shorter and that we will have the results sooner. Please continue to check with our administrators and guidance counselors for answers to your questions. The Ohio Department of Education’s website will also be a good resource for answers to your questions. This year, we are continuing to grow many of the fine programs that have been introduced in the past at Fairlawn. Last year, we introduced our digital online Expanded Learning Curriculum. It was well received by our students. This year, many more classes are being added to the curriculum. The additional classes will offer options to Fairlawn students that were never available in the past. Our iPad One-to-One program is entering year four. This technology has changed the way students learn at Fairlawn. This year, we are making more textbooks available online. When the student takes their iPad home, they will have their textbook with them as well. Digital textbooks are more cost effective and are able to be constantly updated by the publisher. So, again, Welcome Back! Please look through this edition of the Flyer. I hope it helps you get ready for the new school year. Go Jets!

It is time to start looking ahead to a new school year. With that in mind, please watch for our monthly parent nights. A list will be developed with the staff and posted on our new website shortly after school starts. Many of you are aware of the new state budget bill that was signed into law and became effective as of July 1, 2015. Keep in mind that there are two areas we want to make sure you know: ▶Fairlawn will continue to administer tests online. ▶PARCC has gone away, however AIR testing will continue (Social Studies and Science) – AIR has also prepared English/ language-arts and math tests. Once the state lets us know what the new tests will be, we will be sure to share the information with parents and students. Please watch for a testing night. We encourage all students and parents to attend Open House on Monday, August 17 from 5-8:00pm. Enjoy the rest of your summer and we look forward to seeing you in August! Academia Schedule Monday, September 28th @ Jackson Center Monday, October 5th @ Russia Monday, October 12th @ Fairlawn Monday, October 19th @ Fairlawn Monday, October 26th @ Ft. Loramie Academia meets begin at 7:00 p.m. 2-Hour Early Release Identification Of Gifted Students This annual notification is in accordance with the District Policy and Plan for the Identification of Children Who are Gifted. In Ohio, the term “Gifted” refers to students who perform or show potential for performing at remarkably high levels of accomplishment when compared to others of their age, experience, or environment and who are identified following the procedures and criteria established by the Ohio Revised Code, Section 3324.03. The district uses a three-stage approach to screen and identify students in the areas of superior cognitive ability, specific academic abilities, creative thinking, and visual and performing arts. Students may be referred for gifted screening on an ongoing basis by a teacher, parent, or other professional. A brochure which outlines the multi-stage procedures, criteria, and assessment instruments is available upon request in the school office. Parent Project For the second year, the Fairlawn Local School District is pleased to offer our Fairlawn families the opportunity to participate in “The Parent Project®” parent training program. This training program is free to parents whose children attend Fairlawn Schools. The Parent Project® is celebrating 28 years this year and has helped over one-half million parents struggling with raising difficult or out-ofcontrol children. The programs were developed from the experiences and successes of real parents, not a child rearing textbook! The Parent Project® is broken into two highly-effective programs: Loving Solutions (Parent Project Junior) – for parents raising difficult Flyer 2 or strong-willed children 5 to 10 years old. Parents meet one night a week for six weeks. Topics in the training include: Improving Children’s InSchool Behavior and Grades, Media Issues and Young Children, Sleep, and Diet and Behavior. Also, parents will find an informative introduction and overview that addresses the needs of children with ADD/ADHD. Training lasts about two hours per night. Dates for this program are: October 8, 15, 22, 29; November 5, 12. Changing Destructive Adolescent Behavior (Parent Project Senior) - for parents raising difficult or out-ofcontrol adolescent children, 10 years old and up.

One Call Now Letter Dear Parents/Guardians: Effective communication is beneficial to the continuous building of relationships between educators and parents. Fairlawn realizes the value of being able to communicate quickly and efficiently with parents. We currently use the One Call Now Communication Service to contact parents of our students for emergency notification and awareness. As we progress with the value of using this system, we will implement personalized messages to keep parents actively involved in what is happening at Fairlawn. We will be reminding parents of report cards, conferences, fundraisers, absences, school delays, closings, early releases and other events. The most important thing parents can do is verify the accuracy of their contact information. Fairlawn must have updated phone numbers for One Call Now to work effectively and efficiently. Any number changes must be communicated as soon as they are effective. Please feel free to call the school and verify that your information is correct. You can select two numbers for the school district to use as contact numbers. Many students wish to include their cell phone numbers. This is possible, but we are asking that you please include a parent/ guardian number also. The One Call Now system has the capability to contact you at home, work, or cell phone. Only authorized administrators of the school district may activate the system. One Call Now keeps all of its clients’ information confidential and secure. All data is password protected on secure servers accessible only by school administration. Please update your information for school use and return to the school. Please return to Fairlawn Local Schools to update the One Call Now System.

Hollywood Comes to Fairlawn Justin Ray This summer, the Drama Club students got to meet, through video exchanges, two very talented Hollywood actors. They are Justin Ray and Mason Trueblood. Drama Club Advisor, Shelly Mann, met Justin Ray through a series of emails discussing the drama department and asking Fairlawn Local Schools Class Fees for 2015-2016 Mason Trueblood Both Justin and Mason have several movies to their credit as well as both have starred in television series, also. They are both accomplished actors and dancers and Justin is also an excellent gymnast. for encouragement to pass on to Drama Club students. Both Justin and Mason agreed to have our students make a video that would ask questions the students wanted to know about them. That way, they could get to know our students personally and connect with who they were working with. They, in return, would then send back a video answering the questions and giving tips and pointers about theatre, acting, and showbiz. This response video will be shared during Drama Camp, which is August 3-7. Justin and Mason are roommates in real life and met on the set of a movie they Kindergarten through Sixth Grade: $20.00 Seventh and Eighth Grade: $40.00 High School: Art - each semester $12.50 Computer – each class $10.00 Spanish$10.00 Agriculture Science: Ag I, II, III, IV $20.00 were both in called “1 Chance 2 Dance.” They became fast friends on the set and continued the friendship after shooting was complete.

The Fairlawn Library Media Center has been a busy place since last May. We began the summer break at the end of the school year by announcing our summer library program “Science Detectives.” We also told students about the Jets Read Program that is running all through the summer. Then, school was out and kids began their vacation. The summer program began on June 3rd with Ms. Danielle Monnier, middle school/ high school science teacher, sharing about health science and how exercise affects our breathing. Students created a hypothesis and then used balloons, string and meter sticks to generate data about how much air they could breathe into a balloon before and after exercise. The students brainstormed ideas for the hypothesis and then worked in pairs to collect their data. They had a great time with Ms. Monnier. They, then, created some art work with some materials that Mrs. Swartz had collected by using glue, tape and staples. Snacks were also provided each time we met. On June 17th, Mrs. Tammy Langston came to share an activity that used the material of coffee filters, water and washable markers to see how color separates in water through absorption. The students each got five pieces of the coffee filter paper and then shared five different colored markers to draw or write something on each paper. They, then, got medicine droppers and dropped water onto the papers to watch what would happen and recorded the results on papers that Mrs. Langston provided. The students enjoyed seeing how absorption showed different colors that are part of each of the single colors they used. A craft was then made using watercolors to decorate cotton disks. Students enjoyed creating their own designs using the watercolors. On July 8th, Mrs. Colebaugh came to help us create garden stones using concrete. We had molds and all kinds of shiny stones, tiles, shells, and animals to decorate our stones. The kids got to mix concrete and see how much water to add to get the right mix. We Flyer 10 are still waiting to see if they will set up! We read stories about how seeds grow and what is needed to grow plants and trees. During our snack time, we watched an animated version of The Curious Garden and, then, put parts of the story in order sequence. The kids also answered questions about fact and fiction from the story. July 22nd and August 5th are our last two summer program dates. We begin at 4:30 and finish at 6:30pm. Stories and a snack are always part of the time as well as a take-home craft and the science activity. July 22nd will be about science and music and August 5th will be a chemistry activity with Mr. Nathan Sailor and Mr. Chris Clark. Be sure to come and see what’s happening in our library. The Jets Read Program papers were sent home with each student in grades Pre-K through Grade 5 in May. The program runs from May 21st to August 21st. Forms are available in the school office during regular hours and can be picked up on the summer library days from 4:30 to 6:30pm. The forms are due to Mrs. Swartz by August 28th and those who participate will be eligible for an ice cream sundae party. Students in grades 6 through 12 had the forms available to them in the library and their RLA classes. They can also participate and get ice cream. Just check in at the office sometime soon to get a form to fill out with hours and books read. Again, return it to Mrs. Swartz by August 28th to be eligible for the ice cream sundaes. New books will be arriving soon for students to read this fall. Come and see what is new! Student aides are needed in the library as well this year. Aides would be helping students find books, checking in and checking out books and helping students with activities during library classes. If you are interested, please see Mrs. Swartz or email her at swartz@fairlawn.k12.oh.us. You can learn how the library system works and maybe find a new career! The library is open to all students for reading and studying all day. Please take advantage of space to spread out, resources close by and the peace and quiet. All students can come to the library during their study halls. Parents are welcome to see what is available to students any time. Please stop by during open house and look around. There is always something to do in the library!

Flyer 11 Meet Nurse Geise My name is Julie Geise, I am Registered Nurse employed by the Sidney Shelby County Health Department as a Public Health Nurse (PHN) for the past 8 years. I have been a Registered Nurse for 29 years and a graduate of Mt. Carmel School of Nursing. Throughout the last 29 years, I have worked in several fields of nursing Julie Geise, PHN that have been an interest to me. As a PHN at the Sidney Shelby County Health, my main role as a school nurse is to provide nursing services to Christian Academy, Fairlawn, Hardin-Houston and Russia schools. I am proud to be associated with these schools and appreciate how the students, parents, staff and administration of my schools make me feel I am an integral part of the school community. School nursing has allowed me to grow as a Registered Nurse. Unlike nurses in clinical settings, school nurses typically practice independently under the supervision of a Medical Director. I am called upon to assess student health, develop and execute plans for care management, act as a first responder, and engage in public health functions such as disease surveillance, immunization compliance, and health promotion. As a school nurse, I am aware of an increase in students with chronic medical problems and conditions. I feel the role of the school nurse is vital and considered necessary for the student to learn in a safe and healthy environment. Each day, I strive to provide optimum care for my students and staff. It is a wonderful privilege to work as a School Nurse and to provide care and nurturing that ensures a healthy environment for students in which to learn. I welcome the opportunity for parents to contact me with any concerns or to just introduce themselves to allow me to get to know them and their student. A Brand New Day: Wilson Memorial Hospital Unveils New Name, New Look and New Outlook S I D N E Y— For the first time in nearly 85 years, Wilson Memorial Hospital has unveiled a new name and new look, while also establishing a new community outlook. With the start of a “brand new day” at Wilson Memorial, the new name, look and outlook emphasizes the hospital’s focus on redefining healthcare through proper education and prevention starting in the community. “In life, change is inevitable - people change, places change and names change,” said Stan Crosley, Board Chair. “Change is a part of life - a part of growth and a part of moving forward.” Crosley reflected back through years of when Wilson Memorial Hospital first opened its doors in 1930. “As Wilson Memorial Hospital changes and grows, it’s important to reflect on where we began and never lose sight of what we’ve accomplished.” Crosley said. After decades of serving Shelby County and the surrounding communities, Wilson Memorial found itself poised for resurgent growth and continued success. “To shift the culture of the hospital to be identified as a health network with a unified purpose and theme, there needed to be a change in our messaging and branding,” said Mark Dooley, Chief Executive Officer. The new name, look and outlook of Wilson Memorial – the result of over a year’s worth of perceptional research studies, interviews and analysis – was introduced today at a public unveiling event held on the main campus. Attendees at the event, including hospital staff, management, past and present board members and local leaders from the community, were a part of history as Wilson Memorial revealed its new name: Wilson Health. KEEP A SEASON-APPROPRIATE CHANGE OF CLOTHING The new logo for Wilson Health was also disclosed, featuring an abstract “W” design, closely resembling the IN YOUR CHILD’S BACKPACK ALL YEAR!!!

This will save the parent from through a never-ending cycle of education, prevention, having to leave what they are doing to bring a change of clothing for diagnosis and treatment, across every stage of a person’s life. With the new logo, a new tagline was also established; Wilson their child to the school. The clinic is also grateful for all the donations. Only a few pairs of Health: Caring Without Limits.

Theresa Elliott “Our tagline, Caring Without Limits, is a powerful phrase that identifies Wilson Health by capturing the essence of our brand purpose, position and promise to the community,” said Margo O’Leary, Director of Marketing and Public Relations. “Our independence and connection to the community is unique in today’s healthcare environment. The new Wilson Health brand reflects this outlook.” Wilson Health’s facilities, services and tools will remain the same; however, the long-term vision will change with a J.

Counselor's Corner A few Messages from I am so excited to take on the role of School Counselor for grades 6-12 this coming year! Working at the elementary level last year gave me the opportunity to get to know many students and members of the community. I look forward to getting to know many more of you this year as my focus shifts from the younger grades to the middle school and high school levels. In this role, I will strive to serve students’ academic, personal/social, and career needs. Students may contact me to discuss course selections and future goals. In addition, I’m available to discuss any issues that are negatively impacting a student’s academic success. My door is always open! I look forward to meeting everyone at the start of the school year. Go Jets! Mrs. Inman Fairlawn Students, Parents, and Community: I hope that everyone has enjoyed their summer break and is preparing for a successful 2015-2016 school year. With Mrs. Riethman Mrs. Inman Hello Fairlawn Community! Mrs. Inman and Mrs. Riethman taking a year off for personal reasons, I am refreshed and anxious to collaborate with the staff, encourage the students, and serve as a bridge for community resources. Students in Pre-kindergarten through 5th grade can expect to see me throughout the year in large group guidance lessons. During my visits to the classroom, we will be discussing topics such as: responsibility, manners, friendship, bullying, study skills, self-esteem, and emotions. Students can also visit me in my office to discuss any issues (friendship, family, peer, self) that they might be encountering. My goal is to help the student work through these issues and re-focus to becoming their best self. Finally, students can also seek my guidance if they are struggling academically. We can come up with a plan to get them back on track to success. If your elementary child is new to the district, please stop by my office during Open House on Monday, August 17th for an introduction. If your child is returning to the district, please stop by my office to share your favorite summer memory. Mrs. Riethman Compassionate Care, and SafeHaven to name a few, Shelby County residents have many avenues for support. In past years, agencies have asked us to share their services with families in our district. Shop with a Cop asks for students’ names to purchase gifts during the holiday season to help parents/guardians if their finances are limited. Charity League also provides a similar service. Anonymous donators have asked for a family or two that they can sponsor during Thanksgiving to provide a warm, hearty meal. The counseling department at Fairlawn is happy to oblige with these requests. Unfortunately, our desire to help aid families can be halted without being aware of current situations. To help these causes, we ask that families with limited income complete a form (that can be obtained through Mrs. Inman or Mrs. Riethman) to give a little background on their current situation so the Fairlawn counseling department can connect families to the appropriate agency. The above mentioned form is not mandatory for all families -- only United Way With United Way programs such as those seeking assistance. Mrs. Riethman Big Brothers - Big Sisters, Alpha Center, BE A VOLUNTEER PARENT Dear Parents, Fairlawn Schools offers parents many ways to be involved with our school. We welcome and depend on your generous participation. Please return this volunteer sheet if you are able to assist; your participation is welcome at any level that works for you.

It is impossible to list all the styles, which might be considered appropriate for school. Likewise, it is impossible to anticipate all the questions involving dress and grooming. Therefore, students are expected to keep themselves clean, well groomed, and dressed in “good taste.” The following statements are intended to provide minimal guidelines for a standard of student dress and grooming. The major responsibility for meeting these standards is established at home. Student dress and grooming must meet conventional standards of dress and modesty during all school functions. Students who violate the student dress and grooming guidelines will be instructed to remedy the situation and may be subject to further disciplinary action. 1. Students should make every attempt to be clean and well-groomed at all times. Attempts by students to call undue attention to themselves by unusual, bizarre, or revealing dress will not be permitted. (Specific examples would include pants with holes or distressed areas above the knees, pajamas, or make-up coloring/styling.) 2. Clothing with profane, suggestive, or questionable pictures and/or lettering is prohibited. 3. Clothing should be worn as designed and should not display inappropriate parts of the body or undergarments. (no bra straps, cutoffs, or sagging pants) 4. While on field trips, the teacher/chaperones in Student Drivers No student shall operate his/her vehicle in a reckless manner on school grounds. Some examples of recklessness (not intended to be exhaustive) are speeding and spinning wheels. Students shall not sit in cars, vans, trucks, etc. at any time during the school day. Students are not permitted to go to their vehicles during the day unless approved by the administrator. Driving to school is a privilege not a right. Students driving to school must have a parking pass. Students must purchase a parking pass in the main office. charge will determine the mode of dress appropriate. 5. Shorts, skirts, or dresses are not permitted unless they are appropriate length. The clothing must extend past the tip of the middle finger when arms are extended to the side. 6. Tank tops are not to be worn; unless covered by another shirt - shoulders are to be covered. 7. Shoes must be worn at all times. 8. No hats or head coverings of any kind unless it is a special school activity day authorized by the administration. 9. Items, such as dog chokers, dangling chains, jewelry with sharp points (i.e. studded collars, bracelets, and ear tapers) are prohibited. 10. Wearing coats is not permitted unless approved by the administration due to temperature problems in the building. A coat is anything considered outerwear. If questions arise, the administration will make the final determination about what is or is not a coat. 11. Book bags, tote bags, and duffel bags are only to be carried to and from school. Exception: school-provided electronic device carrying case. (Medical exceptions may apply per administration approval.) 12. Shorts and pants with pictures or writing across the seat are unacceptable. 13. Spandex, yoga pants and leggings are not be worn unless under dress code appropriate length skirt, shorts, or pants. TEST: if leggings (etc.) are removed, would the attire still meet dress code? The principal shall serve as the arbiter of student dress and grooming. Student Drop-off/Pick-up All parents who are dropping-off or picking-up students must use the parking lot at the front of the school. The back parking lot is reserved for student drivers. There are two permissible methods for dropping off or picking up students in the front parking lot. 1) Parents may park along the sidewalk and students will enter/exit the vehicle at the sidewalk. Please remain in your car and move forward to free up space as you finish. Students should use the sidewalk to enter/exit the school area. 2)Parents may park in a parking space, which would allow them to leave their vehicles to ensure that their students are safely using the crosswalk. Please do not park in the roadways of the parking lot to drop off or pick up students. Using the parking lot in this way creates a dangerous situation for all of our students. We are much better able to monitor students’ safety in the parking lot when traffic flow can be anticipated and when students who are walking in the parking lot know where to look for moving vehicles. Parking in the roadways encourages vehicles to pass one another, creating blind spots for students and parents who are walking in these areas. In addition, please do not attempt to enter the bus area and collect your student to give him or her a ride home. If a student who normally rides a bus is going to be picked up, the office must be notified. It is imperative that we are able to maintain good accountability of our students. Lastly, we ask that you avoid parking on the student crosswalk or backing into the crosswalk. This is students’ safe place to cross into the parking lot. We sincerely appreciate everyone’s cooperation in keeping our parking lot area safe for Fairlawn students.
