Eighth grade students recently utilized virtual reality to learn math concepts!
🦸♂️📝 Superfights Writing Lesson Showcase! 📝🦸♀️
Mrs. Harper, Mrs. Eikenberry, and Mr. McGlone’s eighth graders spent several weeks creating the Ultimate Superhero. The students put their writing skills to the test, creating superheroes who had unique powers and attributes, backstories, and personalities.
Once their superheroes were created, students engaged in friendly "battles" to showcase their superheroes' strengths and abilities. After some T.A.G. feedback, revisions, and edits, the students showcased the best version of their superheroes for a second round of judging, where one winner from each class period was chosen to move forward.
The final round of our Superfights had the winners from each class period competing against each other before a final Ultimate Superhero duo was crowned!

On Thursday, November 2, at 7:00 p.m. in the McClain High School Cafetorium, we will be holding an internet safety session for ADULTS ONLY presented by nationally recognized speaker Jesse Weinberger. The session is open to parents/guardians, community members, and those from neighboring communities. You do not have to register in advance. Please consider joining us for this valuable informational session.
The Adena Health Mobile Unit will be visiting the buildings in our district, and the first stop is Rainsboro Elementary tomorrow, October 31. If you are a Rainsboro parent, you should have received an email with a consent form in addition to a hard copy that was sent home last week. Consent forms can also be picked up in the school office. Please complete and submit the form whether you would like or not like your child to be seen. Once a consent form is completed, it does not have to be filled out and submitted again. Services provided on the unit include but are not limited to, wellness checks/physicals, treatment for illnesses and injuries, and mental health treatment. If you are a parent in one of our other buildings, you will receive the consent form closer to the mobile unit’s scheduled visit. We are hopeful that many of our families will take advantage of this great opportunity.
Parents and guardians should have received an email with a consent form for an optional influenza and Covid vaccination clinic. The clinic will be held tomorrow, October 31, from 1:00-3:00 p.m. in room 153 of Greenfield Middle School. It is for ages six months to adult. Signs will be posted in the colonnade area that will assist you in getting to the correct location. Children younger than 6th grade must be accompanied by their parent or guardian with completed paperwork. If you have a school-age child whom you would like to take to the clinic, you can pick them up from the office and return them once finished. If you have a student who is in 6th through 12th grade that you'd like to receive a shot, you can fill out the form and send it to school with your child. It is a very smooth process for students to be vaccinated during the school day. Parents and guardians can receive shots as well. If you have any questions, please call Katie Pryor, RN at 937-981-3860.
On the evenings of November 1 and 2, we will be having parent-teacher conferences in all of our buildings. If you haven’t signed up for a conference, we would love to see you. Working together, we can help to make the educational experience the best that it can be for students. If you have any questions about scheduling a conference, please contact the office of the building where your child attends.
If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact the building where your child attends during regular school hours. Have a good evening!

Ms. Lagorio's class recently visited the Karnes Family Orchard. Students had a great time learning about their orchard!
Congratulations to these students in Ms. Thieman and Mrs. Mankin's classes! They reached or maintained 100% mastery of their multiplication and division facts on Reflex during the first quarter.
Today in Ms. Basford’s reading and writing classes, students made inferences and cited evidence. Students highlighted important evidence they intend to include in their argumentative essay writing. To add a little fun, this lesson was done with glow in the dark activities.
