As you are aware, a Solar Eclipse will be taking place on April 8 this year. We are expecting a great deal of visitors and traffic in Wapakoneta, and the surrounding area.
The path of the eclipse passes over our community in the early afternoon near our dismissal time. Due to this we will not be having school that day. Our teachers will be planning learning activities that involve the eclipse and will share these with our young people as the date approaches.
Our goal is for the kids to experience the eclipse, provide fun/meaningful learning activities, and to keep them at home and away from the congestion.
The district has been in communication with other school districts and the local agencies to make sure we are all on the same page when it comes to planning for April 8.
If you have questions please reach out to me.
Sincerely,
Aaron Rex

Cridersville Elementary had a great time celebrating Red Ribbon Week. Each day students had the opportunity to dress up for the theme of the day. We concluded our Red Ribbon Week festivities with an assembly by Mr. Dennis. We would also like to thank Chief Fried and the Cridersville Police Department for purchasing prizes for our Red Ribbon Week classroom winners.










What a great opportunity to spend quality time with family. Check out auglaizelibraries.org for more information.


All students will be bringing home a consent form this week from the Dental/Vision Outreach Program through Health Partners of Western Ohio. For many years, their dental van has visited our schools and provided dental exams, cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants to our students at no out-of-pocket cost to their families. They will bill Medicaid and private insurances only. This year, Vision Outreach will be visiting the schools around February. They will provide comprehensive eye exams and glasses at no out-of-pocket cost to their families.
If you would like to sign your student up for one or both programs, please complete the form and return it to the school by Friday, Aug 25. If your student did not receive a form, please contact the nurse at your students school and one will be sent home with them.
