Jane Chance Elementary School was honored to have Miamisburg City Schools' Athletic Director Jason Osborne as their guest speaker at an assembly this morning. Mr. Osborne spoke with students about "Being Responsible" in their everyday lives. Pictured is Mr. Osborne getting students riled up for the day with a "B.U.R.G." chant where he divided the crowd to show some school spirit!

New rules and regulations impact the district's truancy policy. The State of Ohio has passed a new truancy law, Ohio HB 410. All Ohio schools are mandated to enforce Ohio HB 410 starting the 2017/18 school year. This letter is to inform you of the mandates that we are required to enforce beginning this year. Good attendance to school is a vital part of your child’s educational success. The Miamisburg Board of Education endeavors to reduce truancy through cooperation with parents, diligence in investigating the causes of absence and use of strict guidelines in regard to tardiness and unexcused absence.

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the solar eclipse that will be occurring on Monday, August 21, between 1:00 and 4:00 PM. While we anticipate a spectacular view from our location, there are many precautions that should be followed during that time. As this will be happening during school hours, we would like everyone to know, and feel confident, that we are taking the necessary steps to keep all of our students and our staff safe. While we do have some activities planned, the majority of our school population will be inside and taking part in discussions, video-streaming, or other indoor activities related to the eclipse. If you have any concerns about the activity at any given building, please call that building. If you prefer to keep your child at home, or have them released early prior to the eclipse, please let your child’s building know that via a phone call or note. These absences will be considered excused. If you have any other questions, please contact either your building administrator or central office. Hope you enjoy this wonderful event and stay safe. A brief informational outline is provided below. Thank you.

The City of Miamisburg is in the process of re-striping Belvo Road. Work is anticipated to be completed by Monday August 14, 2017.
