Rocket Radar for 11-8-26: Taking Care of Our Rocket Community
🚀 Week 13: Taking Care of Our Rocket Community
🚀 Facilities, Safety, and Supporting Our Rockets
This week, we are focusing on two important things that help us provide the best possible environment for our students: taking care of our facilities and making sure our students and families know where to turn for help when they need it.
🏫 Roofing Project Update
First, thank you to our staff, students, and families for your patience and flexibility during our roofing project involving the elementary gym and music room. We expect the project will be completed by Monday at dismissal at the latest!
We appreciate everyone adjusting to the temporary changes in traffic patterns and parking arrangements. While the short-term adjustments required some flexibility, the long-term improvements to our facilities will be well worth it!
Continuing to improve and maintain our facilities while remaining fiscally responsible is an important part of our commitment to our four cornerstones and our mission to Empower Students to Reach Their Full Potential. Thank you for helping us make these improvements possible!
đź’™ Safer Ohio Tip Line
We also want to take this opportunity to remind families about the Safer Ohio Tip Line, which is a free, anonymous reporting system available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This resource allows students, families, and community members to report concerns involving school safety, threats, bullying, or other issues that may impact the well-being of our students by calling 844-SaferOH (844-723-3764) or accessing the link available on our district website.
A reminder: The more specific, accurate details you can provide, the better equipped our district and safety partners are to respond and provide support.
🚀Congratulations to Eliot Weston! He competed in the state cross country meet yesterday!
