March 2016 - Crestview Local Schools

Crestview Local School District
March, 2016
Message from the Superintendent
This month, the Ohio Department of Education released the second half
of the 2014-2015 District Report Card. A copy of the Crestview District Report
Card can be found on the Ohio Department of Education website at
www.education.ohio.gov . Although this year’s report card is definitely not
where we want it to be, the data in the report card has provided us with some very clear indicators of where
we should focus our efforts to improve student achievement.
Over the next several months, our teachers will be meeting with their building principals to develop
strategies that will guide our improve plans. At the center of our attention will be improving student math
skills. In addition to purchasing new math textbooks, staff will also be seeking additional strategies that
will allow students to apply their math skills to real world problems. Staff members realize that in addition
to having students understand the principles of math, it is also important that they understand the practical
applications of math. It is for this reason that programs like S.T.E.M. are so important and will continue to
be developed in our curriculum.
Although improving student academic success will be a significant factor in all of our building
improvement plans, providing opportunities to develop the whole child will remain as the central theme of
all of our strategies. It has always been the goal of our schools to ensure that every child is healthy, safe,
engaged, supported and challenged. To this end, a fundamental approach to developing our district
improvement plans will be to provide every child expanded opportunities in the arts, physical education,
student leadership and citizenship.
As the Crestview Schools continue to grow and thrive, it is more important than ever that our
parents and community stay involved in our children’s education. I encourage you to continue to be
involved in PTO, booster organizations and parent advisory committees. It is critical to the success of our
schools that you continue to volunteer your time and services whenever possible. Together, we can keep
Crestview an excellent school district for all of our children. Together we can keep Crestview Schools the
Heart of our community!

Educate-Empower-Impact
Hopefully spring weather will be coming soon. With the
anticipated warm weather it is important that students be
reminded of the value of being in school each day. Good
school attendance is important for academic achievement.
Parents should call the school to report their child absent. In
order for the absence to be excused a doctor’s slip or parent
written excuse must be turned into the office within TWO
days of the child returning to school. Please remember that
unnecessary absence from school, tardies and vacations
hinder a student’s learning process.

either:
- 2 doses of meningococcal vaccine with the
booster dose given on or after age 16

Parent/Guardians are required to give the school an
immunization (shot) record that shows their child has
received, or has appointment(s) to receive the required

thinking. Crestview students have the opportunity to
work with other students from different grade levels
to explore these rich educational lessons. Students
from third grade have worked with high school
students to create keychains of their own design on
the 3D modeling software. As well as, students from
the fourth grade worked together with the middle
school to extend their STEM knowledge.
