Please join us for our PTO Meeting this evening. Virtual meeting information has been emailed to all parents.
Attendance is important at EVERY AGE. Start building this habit in preschool so students learn right away that going to school on time, every day is important. Even as children grow older and more independent, families play a key role in making sure students are showing up EVERY DAY to access learning opportunities and understand why attendance is so important for success in school and on the job.
On October 26, the Board of Education approved changes to the attendance boundaries and building changes of Miamisburg’s elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The seven kindergarten through fifth grade schools will be changing to a grade banded system. Bauer, Bear, Medlar View, and Mark Twain Elementary Schools will now all teach kindergarten through second grade (K-2). Jane Chance, Kinder, and Mound Elementary schools will now teach third grade through fifth grade (3-5). Jane Chance and Medlar View will include units for students with Multiple Disabilities.
The redistricted attendance areas are as follows:
Medlar View/Mound Boundary for the SY 2024-25
Students who previously attended Kinder and live in Lyons Gate and Miamisburg at the Mall (Byers Road)
Bear/Kinder Boundary for the SY 2024-25
Students who previously attended Kinder and live South of Central Avenue will attend Bear grades K-2.
Mark Twain/Kinder Boundary for the SY 2024-25
Students who previously attended Kinder and live North of Central Avenue will attend Mark Twain for K-2.
All students who currently attend Bear will stay at Bear for grades K-2. All students who currently attend Mark Twain will stay at Mark Twain for grades K-2. All Bear and Mark Twain students will attend Kinder for grades 3-5.

DID YOU KNOW? Being out of school just 2 days per month adds up to 18 days; that's a full month of learning missed by the end of the year. It’s easy to underestimate how much school a child is missing if the days are intermittent. That's why EVERY DAY MATTERS!
Congratulations to Bear Elementary staff and students! The building was awarded Platinum status by the Montgomery County ESC for Excellence in Prevention. This award is given to schools that are implementing best practice prevention services and strategies in order to create healthy, drug-free environments that promote optimal mental health for students, parents, teachers and staff in the school community.
Personalized Learning Day Scheduled for November 7, 2023
As a reminder, Miamisburg City School District students will participate in a personalized learning day on November 7, 2023. Our buildings will be closed that day to students to serve as polling locations. During this time, district staff will participate in professional development activities on-site to expand their educational knowledge and training.
Personalized learning is an educational approach that customizes instruction to meet the distinct needs, interests and capabilities of individual students. It involves a variety of instructional methods, technology and curriculum to create a tailored learning experience.
Please see the student choice boards to help your student plan their personalized learning day.
It's Monday! Making it a great week starts with showing up -- every day. You got this! #everydaymatters #attendanceworks #studentsuccess
