7:18 p.m. - The issue has been resolved, and calls are rolling out to parents and guardians. We appreciate your patience. Have a nice weekend! 😊 Update: Due to a technical issue, you may not have received a call. We are working with our system provider and apologize for the inconvenience. Information from the August 9, 2024 all-call: 1. Annually before the start of a new school year, school districts are expected to notify parents and guardians using the phone system from which they will be called when all-calls are made during the school year. The phone number associated with this call will be the one used throughout the school year when information needs to be communicated. If you received the call and should not have, please contact Kris Davis, Administrative Assistant, at 937-981-2152 in order to be removed from the system. If you are seeing this information on social media and did not receive the call, please contact her to be added to the system. 2. Please be sure to update all information in FinalForms so that you will receive important information during the school year. Need help? Contact the office staff in the building where your child attends for assistance. 3. Information regarding our district cell phone policy was emailed to all parents and guardians this week using FinalForms. Hard copies of the letter will be available during Open House, and copies will also be sent home during the first few days of school. 4. Information regarding in-town bus transportation was emailed to Greenfield Elementary, Greenfield Middle School, and McClain High School parents and guardians this week. We are hopeful that in the future we will be able to add the routes back into our transportation plan even though they are not required by law. We enjoyed providing the opportunity for our families, and we have been fortunate to not have a driver shortage the past few years like many districts in our region. If you are interested in learning about how to become a bus driver, please contact Bradley George, Transportation Director, at 937-981-2620. You also can check out our previously posted advertisement on our social media accounts to see the benefits of becoming a bus driver. 5. Don’t forget - Breakfast AND lunch are FREE for all students this school year! 😊 6. Open House for all of our buildings will be held on Tuesday, August 13.
