Miamisburg High School will operate on a modified two-hour late arrival schedule on April 23-April 26, 2018 in order to administer Algebra I and Geometry end-of-course-exams. Students who are required to take the Algebra I or Geometry end-of-course-exams should arrive at 7:15 am on their designated testing days. These dates will be communicated to students prior to their test date. For the days that they are not testing, or for any student who is not participating in testing, students will report to school at 9:15 am for the late arrival.

School transportation will operate as a normal school day since the high school is the only school operating on a late arrival schedule. Students will need to arrange for transportation to arrive at the high school for the 9:15 am start time. If a student cannot arrange transportation, he/she should ride the bus to arrive at MHS at the normal start time of 7:15 am. Students at MHS not participating in testing will be kept in a common area and supervised by MHS faculty and staff.

If you have any questions, please contact Miamisburg High School at 937-866-0771.

In light of the various threats in public schools, including ours, and the tragic events at schools across the nation, we want to get information out to our school community.

We treat every threat we receive as a serious issue. In every instance, law enforcement is brought in to document the incident and assist in the investigation. It is the intent of the school district that when the person or persons are found, the school will discipline to the fullest extent of our ability and we will work with law enforcement and encourage them to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. We can certainly hope everyone in our school community will let someone know if they have any knowledge of an incident and would call or email either a building administrator or a law enforcement officer while refraining from posting on social media. We are starting to adopt the mindset of – “If you see something or know something, say something.”

We continually assess our protocols and procedures to increase the safety at all of our buildings. We have crisis drills and training to help prepare our students and staff for a variety of incidents which might occur. We are required to submit a safety plan for each building to the Ohio Department of Education annually. These plans – Emergency Comprehensive Management Plans – are not public record for reasons of safety.

We are also working with the Montgomery County Educational Service Center and all of the school districts in the county to have a service which monitors social media.

It is our utmost goal to keep everyone safe while learning, participating in an event, teaching, or engaged in any activity. The cooperation of all involved, along with open communication, will go a long way in helping us making this a realization. If there is ever any question, you are encouraged to contact school personnel to obtain an answer.

To encourage more families to take advantage of the healthy choices available for school breakfast, the Miamisburg City School District is celebrating National School Breakfast Week during March 5-9, 2018. National School Breakfast Week was launched in 1989 to raise awareness of the availability of the School Breakfast Program, a federally assisted meal program operating in public and non-profit private schools and residential child care institutions since 1975.

Busy weekday mornings make it a challenge for many families to find time for a healthy breakfast. However, US Department of Agriculture data show that more and more students are starting their day with a nutritious breakfast in their school cafeterias. The School Breakfast Program currently serves more than 14 million students every day. Studies show that students who eat school breakfast are more likely to:

• Reach higher levels of achievement in math
• Score higher on standardized tests
• Have better concentration, memory and alertness
• Have improved attendance, behavior, and academic performance
• Maintain a healthy weight

 The National School Breakfast Week (NSBW) campaign theme, “I Heart School Breakfast”, reminds the entire school community that school breakfast provides a healthy and energizing start to the day for students. Students will be encouraged to show their enthusiasm for “I Heart School Breakfast” from March 5-9 with special menus, cafeteria events, and more.

“A healthy breakfast at the start of the day is one way to ensure students are getting the best education possible,” said Scott Gilbert, Director of Business. “National School Breakfast Week helps us educate parents and students about all the healthy, great tasting, and appealing choices we offer.” The district serves over 800 breakfast meals daily through the federally funded School Breakfast Program. School nutrition professionals in Miamisburg prepare breakfast and lunches every day that meet federal nutrition standards – limiting fat, calories and sodium – while encouraging students to choose from the fruits, vegetables and whole grains offered with school meals.”

The “I Heart School Breakfast” campaign is made possible by the School Nutrition Association and Kellogg’s®
