Hello Ledgeview Families,

Here is some information and reminders for the upcoming weeks:

No School For Students: There is no school for students tomorrow, Monday, September 23. Staff is in session for the teacher work day.

Walk-A-Thon: Ledgeview’s 6th annual Walk-A-Thon is scheduled for this coming Friday, September 27. To reach our goal to fund all of the PTA events as well as student rewards for school we would love to see each child raise $50. The Walk-A-Thon donations are a 100% profit for the school so all funds go directly to fun activities for our students. Please take the time to help our school if you are able. 

Walk-A-Thon Volunteers: We are still able to accept volunteers to help at the Walk-A-Thon. In particular we could use help for kindergarten and 4th grade. Please use this link to sign up if you are interested in joining us for this fun event. 

Fall Benchmarking Results: Ledgeview has changed how we screen students for English Language Arts. This year the district has moved away from using STAR Early Literacy and STAR Reading for fall benchmarking. Last year we moved to curriculum based measures (CBMs) as part of Ohio’s Dyslexia Laws. These measures can also be used to identify students as ‘on track’ or ‘off track’ for the purposes of the third grade reading guarantee and require significantly less testing time for students. The new fall screening reports will be sent home on Monday, September 30. 

Reminder for Exiting Ledgeview During Dismissal: Please remember to turn right when exiting Ledgeview’s driveway during dismissal. Cars waiting to turn left have been slowing down exiting traffic and at times the line of cars is preventing buses from entering and exiting the property. 

ALICE Training: Ledgeview students will begin their classroom training for ALICE lockdown over the next two weeks. Students will be focusing on reviewing and mastering lockdown procedures before moving on the ALICE evacuation procedures. 

Fill the Bus: The annual Fill the Bus campaign to help the Emergency Assistance Center begins October 1. Please see the flyer below for more information. 

KISS Breakfast: The amazing Ledgeview PTA will be hosting the Kindergartners Invite Someone Special event on Wednesday, October 2. 

Flu Vaccines: A reminder that flu vaccine paperwork is due this Wednesday, September 26 for students to participate. Information and forms are available below.
