Parents and guardians:
Please talk with your children now about staying off the ice. Do not allow them to play, walk, or skate on the river. If you see anyone on the ice: keep a safe distance, call 911 immediately, and do not attempt a rescue yourself. We appreciate your help in keeping everyone safe.
Tomorrow is the last day to purchase Valentines suckers. They are a dollar each and benefit the Tabitha Merideth Scholarship.

School Board Approves 2026-2027 District Calendar
The Board of Education has officially approved the 2026-2027 district calendar for next school year. The calendar reflects a continued focus on student learning, balance instructional time, and flexible opportunities to meet student needs. The 2026-2027 school year will kick off with the annual Back to School Bash on Monday, August 17, 2026 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. on the school campus. This event gives families the chance to reconnect, meet staff, and start the school year on a positive note. The first day of school for students in grades 1-12 will be Wednesday, August 19., 2026 . A key feature of the approved calendar is the inclusion of a Maymester from May 10th through May 26. Rather than ending the academic year abruptly, the Maymester will create dedicated time for enrichment, acceleration, and targeted intervention. The period will allow the district to respond to student needs in a more intentional and flexible way. The Maymester is currently in development but it may include credit recovery, course completion support, targeted math and literacy intervention, service-based learning, ACT/SAT preparation, project-based learning experiences, STEM enrichment, community-based projects, and arts-based intensives such as music or visual arts.

Our district is committed to supporting students and families both inside and outside the classroom. To make it easier for parents to find help when they need it, we have added a direct link on our website to the Jefferson County Resource Network. Visit the Parent & Students page to find the link on our website.
The Jefferson County Resource Network is a centralized, easy-to-use website designed to help residents quickly locate local service providers across Jefferson County, Ohio. The goal is to make sure families have access to accurate, up-to-date information when they are looking for assistance. The site brings together a wide range of community service providers and organizes them into clear categories so users can find help without frustration.
By placing a direct link to the Jefferson County Resource Network on the Parents & Students page of our website, we are removing barriers and giving families a single, reliable starting point when they need assistance. Parents no longer have to search multiple websites or rely on outdated information because help is organized, current, and accessible in one place.. We encourage families to explore this resource and use it whenever the need arises. Access to support matters, and this is one more way we are working to connect our school community with the services available right here in Jefferson County.

On May 28, Karaffa Elementary School was filled with excitement and pride as forty-three preschool students celebrated their graduation. The ceremony marked an important milestone in the lives of these four-year-olds, who have grown socially, emotionally, and academically throughout the school year. The graduation ceremony began with a heartwarming procession of the graduates, who proudly wore red and white caps and gowns. The students performed several favorite songs they had practiced throughout the year. Each child was then introduced individually by their teachers. As they stepped forward, they were celebrated not only for their accomplishments but also for their dreams, as each student shared what they want to be when they grow up. From future firefighters and teachers to doctors, dancers, and hair dressers, their announcements brought smiles and laughter from the crowd. Following the ceremony, a reception was held in the school commons. Families gathered to enjoy refreshments, take photos, and reflect on the memories made during this special year. As these young graduates prepare to take their next steps into kindergarten, they leave preschool filled with confidence, curiosity, and a love for learning that will guide them throughout their educational journey.

The district is celebrating the retirement of two dedicated school nurses who have provided years of compassionate care to students and families.
Cindy Deavers is the beloved nurse at Toronto Elementary School. Known for her gentle approach and unwavering support, she has been a trusted presence for students, staff, and parents alike.
Joining her in retirement is Polly Givens, who has cared for the district’s youngest learners with kindness and patience. Her calming presence and dedication to early childhood health have made a lasting impact on countless families.
Both nurses will be deeply missed, but their legacies of care, comfort, and commitment will continue to inspire. The district extends heartfelt thanks and best wishes as they begin this next chapter.

Preschool students recently took their learning beyond the classroom through a special Community Partners Program designed to introduce them to the people and places that help our town thrive. The program gave students the opportunity to meet real-life community helpers and see how different roles contribute to keeping our community safe, healthy, and connected.
As part of the experience, the young learners visited the Toronto Police Department, where officers spoke about safety and showed the children their patrol cars and equipment. At the Toronto Fire Department, students got an up-close look at fire trucks and learned how firefighters respond to emergencies. A stop at the T.E.M.S. offered insight into how paramedics and EMT’s help people in need. The program also included visits to McDonalds, Margaret's, and Tri B’s. These visits not only gave the students a behind-the-scenes look at local businesses, but also introduced them to the ideas of teamwork, responsibility, and customer service.
By connecting classroom lessons with real-world experiences, the Community Partners Program helped preschoolers develop a deeper appreciation for the roles people play in their community.
