Dear Parent(s),

This is a reminder that the USDA has extended flexibilities allowing free meals to continue to be available to all children throughout the entire 2020-2021 school year.  This unprecedented move is part of USDA’s unwavering commitment to ensuring all children across America have access to nutritious food as the nation recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Paulding Middle school teacher Elias Jimenez organized a fundraising event at Paulding Middle School to raise money for Christmas For Kids.

PLAN

Update from Governor Mike Dewine

Ohio’s students are the next generation of innovators. We must give them every opportunity to explore, discover, & learn. We all have a role in keeping schools open, and by making safe choices, we can prevent #COVID19 from reaching the classroom.

Our school community appreciates everyone’s efforts to keep each other safe. Let’s continue this commitment to healthy practices as we approach the holiday season. It’s up to all of us to slow the spread of #MasksOnOhio #InThisTogetherOhio.

COALITION COMMUNICATION: PreK-12 EDUCATION

Middle School Teachers and Students wore their Red, White and Blue, from head to toe, in honor of our Veterans on Veteran's Day.

The USDA has extended several flexibilities with school meal services, until December 31, 2020, or until funds are depleted. Students who attend school in person who choose to eat school breakfast and lunch will not be charged for those meals.  This is wonderful news and will be a great financial relief for families in our school district. This is for grades Preschool through 12 including virtual learning students.  Beginning Thursday, September 17, 2020, through December 31, 2020, breakfast and lunch will be FREE to ALL PRESCHOOL STUDENTS by way of a 5-day meal pickup.  Meal bags are for parent/guardian pick up only, and will not be consumed during school.  Each Meal bag will include a 5 day supply of ready to eat breakfast and lunch meals along with milk.  

Please click on read more for further details.

At this time the open house that was scheduled for 8-17-2020 has been canceled for all schools. 

At this time we are sending out our brochure for virtual learning along with the application form. 
This will be for grades K-12 additional applications will be available in your school's office.

Preface:  All Ohio schools were ordered to close on March 16, 2020 by Governor DeWine and the Ohio Department of Health Director in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  On July 2, 2020 Governor DeWine released the Reset & Restart Planning Guide for all schools in Ohio.  The following statement from the Paulding County Schools’ was created with those recommendations in mind.  This statement is a result of extensive collaboration amongst the three Paulding County Schools, Western Buckeye ESC, and the Paulding County Board of Health.  All parties involved agree that the first priority in reopening schools’ is to make certain our students and staff members are in a safe learning environment. 

Paulding County Schools’ reopening is subject to change throughout the school year during the COVID-19 pandemic.  If mandated, districts are preparing to implement alternative learning environments.

On April 13, 2020, Governor DeWine closed all schools in the state of Ohio for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year, therefore PEVS will continue with remote/distance learning until the end of this school year. Please contact your child’s principal if you have any questions.

COVID-19 cases continue to increase across Paulding County, and the upcoming holidays create a risk that this will continue.

• Most people are doing a good job at school and work, but the things we do at home around our friends and family are just as important to prevent COVID-19.
• If we’re smart, we can enjoy the holidays and drive cases down, because we know how to effectively reduce the spread of the virus.
