Dear Friends of the Paulding Exempted Vil-lage Schools,We are currently in the middle of the 3 rd 9weeks already here at PEVS, and the 2015-2016 year is quickly coming to the end so

Make up days will

be needed after missing 47.5 hours ofinstruction, therefore we have no makeupdays at this time. You may keep track of ourcalamity hours by looking under the “ParentLinks” tab on our website. The determiningfactor for delaying or cancelling school isalways the safety of our students. The Hon-eywell Instant Alert System has been veryhelpful for keeping families informed ofdelays, cancellations, and event changes.Please keep your contact information up todate in the system.The district continues to upgrade technologyfor our staff and students.

Our buildings continue to provide oppor-tunities for our students to succeed.The Paulding Middle School will be hosting

a Career Day on March 23. There will beguest speakers coming in to speak to our 8thgraders about their career and the preparationit took to get there. This is another exampleof ways our kids are preparing for their fu-ture.The state tests are fast approaching for the2015-16 school year.

The 2015- 2016 school year con nues to moveforward in a smooth manner. Unlike the past twoschool years, when Mother Nature and Jack Frostwreaked havoc on our part of the world, we havebeen fortunate to have many fewer disrup onsto our regular schedule so far this year. As of thiswri ng, we have missed just 27 hours of instruc-

on due to weather, giving ourselves a fairamount of cushion heading into the nal threemonths of school. We’ll con nue to keep our

ngers crossed as spring is right around thecorner. However, many weeks s ll exist for possi-ble winter weather, so we encourage everyone tocon nue exercising cau on when traveling.

Speaking of days and hours of instruc on, theWayne Trace Board of Educa on has recentlyapproved the school calendar for the 2016 -2017school year. Important dates to note include the

rst day for students – Wednesday, August 24;Christmas break – December 22 -January 2; springbreak – April 13 -17; and gradua on – May 28. Acomplete calendar is available to the public onour school web -site.

Turning to academic ma ers, this year’s state -mandated tests are quietly creeping up on us.Before long, we will be in the tes ng season. Toincrease our students’ chances for success, ourteachers con nue to introduce, develop, andassess their students on the academic contentstandards as outlined by the Ohio Department of

Educa on. Two of our primary goals for this yearare to have a district -wide Performance Indexscore over 100 points and to have a vast improve-ment on our value -added measurement. Parentscan help make these goals a reality by con nuingto support our teachers with their children’sschoolwork and by encouraging their children toput forth their best e ort on these tests.Although no one is excited to take tests, theseassessments are a barometer that allows us todetermine if our students are making a year’sgrowth in the core academic subjects. Withoutaccurate data, we will not know in what areas weneed to improve. Remember, success at school isa team e ort between home and school. Every-one plays a vital part in the educa on of our stu-dents.

Time s ll exists for you to nominate a formersta member for the Wayne Trace Sta Hall ofFame Class of 2016. If you wish to obtain a nomi-na on form, contact Ann Olwin in the centralo ce, and she will assist you. The Hall of Fameevent has become very popular in the commu -

nity, and you can play a vital role by nomina ngone of more worthy former sta members. We would like to thank everyone who a ended

the annual Wayne Trace FFA pancake andsausage breakfast on February 20. Your supportis greatly appreciated, as proceeds from thisevent bene t the many agricultural programso ered at the high school. Special thanks go outto Miss Lori Heiby and her students for all thework they put in to make this year’s event anoth-er successful one.

Congratula ons go out to several of our varsityathle c squads. Our boys’ basketball teamcaptured its twenty -seventh conference tle thisyear, while our wrestling and girls’ basketballteams each nished as conference runners -up.With the OHSAA tournament seasons now underway, we wish our athletes the best of luck as theypursue success down the tournament trail.

Finally, please be aware of some 2015 -2016school calendar reminders: 1.) School will operateon a two -hour delay, district -wide, on Friday,

The month of March is a very busy time period for our students and staff. Wintersports are winding down and students partic-ipating in spring sports are gearing up for anew season. A sizeable number of our stu-dents have also been busy in preparation forthe MS/HS musical “The Little Mermaid.”Performances will take place March 11 & 12at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, March 13 at 2:00 p.m. From an academic standpoint, the thirdnine-week grading period ends Friday,March 11. Likewise, our seniors are busy planning for their future by finalizing plansfor college, work, or the military as they begin the last quarter of their high schoolcareer. During the last quarter of the schoolyear, students in grades 3-11 will also en-gage in state assessments. Additional infor-mation regarding the state assessments isavailable on the Ohio Department of Educa-tion website: http://education.ohio.gov/.

A couple of building improvement projectswill get underway during the next fewmonths. Near the end of March, we will begin to replace the lights in the two gymna-siums with energy efficient LED lighting.The new lights will reduce our energy cost, provide a brighter environment, and provideflexibility with dimmer control settings.The other project involves improvements toour HVAC system. The improvements tothe system will begin in late March and car-ry through to early August. The improve-ments will also reduce our energy cost andimprove the comfort level in our educationalenvironments.

Traffic flow and volume levels with the drop-off and pick-up of students around the largecircle drive vary from day to day. Duringdays of high traffic volume, it is imperativethat we remind ourselves that our concern isthe safety of our children….not how quicklywe can get our children picked up ordropped off. There are some things in lifethat require our patience and unselfish atti-

tude, and this is one of them. Please contin-ue to follow the directions of the school staffsupervising the circle drive and pull aheadas far as possible prior to letting your childout of the vehicle or picking up your child.Using the entire circle drive will allow us tounload and load children more efficiently. If possible, have your child get in and out ofthe car on the sidewalk side. If you do notuse the circle drive, please park your car in a parking space and come up the sidewalkwith your child in the morning or to meetthem at the sidewalk in the afternoon. The police department has asked us to reminddrivers that they cannot stop along the roadon Harrmann Road. If that situation devel-ops, you may pull into the parking lot bor-

dering Harrmann Road and complete yourdrop-off or pick-up. Additionally, elemen-tary students should not walk through the parking lot by themselves to get in a waitingcar. Thank you for assisting with providinga safe school environment.

The testing sessions will beadministered online, which will be brokenup into two 90-minute segments. Again, itis vital that students are in attendance fortheir assessment.

Onceagain, thanks to the three sponsors for these programs.

Testing— Over the last couple of years,Ohio’s testing program has transitioned toonline tests that are more rigorous and in-

depth than the previous Ohio “AchievementAssessments (OAA).” There are a couple ofchanges for this year to the testing. Onechange is that the American Institute of Re-search (AIR) will be the company that is the“testing engine” for all of the testing. An-other change is that testing this year willonly consist of one test that is broken intotwo separate sections for grades 3-5 math,grades 4-5 ELA, grade 4 social studies, andgrade 5 science. The only exception to thisschedule is for 3rd grade English LanguageArts, which is tested in the fall and willagain test in the spring at the same time asthe other grades and subjects. These testsare broken into different sections so that thestudents are not testing for extended periods

of time in one day. Our teachers and staffhave done an excellent job of helping to prepare our students to be successful onthese tests. We plan to begin this testing theweek of April 11, so we ask that you make aconcerted effort to have your students toschool on time during this testing session.
