News
1. Awards programs are this week! Post cards were sent home for any student who will receive an award. We would like all 8th graders to come to the Thursday evening program, if they are able.
The awards programs will be held in the gym. Parking for the awards programs is available on both the east and west sides of the building.
8th grade parents- We have lots of pictures for the awards program slide show. Thank you for sending them in. The slide show is done and ready to go!!

2. On Tuesday, May 31, students will have an opportunity to clean out their lockers in the morning. The 8th grade will have a cookout (they will be asked to bring in an item to share.) Then, after lunches, the 8th grade will report to the cafeteria for the talent show. It will be live-streamed to 7th grade classrooms.

3. Greenfield-Central Summer Food Service Program

Greenfield Central Schools is hosting a Summer Food Service Program. This program offers free meals to children under 19 years of age. Parents don’t have to come with their children; although, you are welcome, but only children can eat.
Free meals will be provided at three Greenfield locations beginning June 1 through July 29:
– At Harris Elementary, 200 W. Park St., breakfast will be served weekdays from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. and lunch will be served weekdays 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Closed on July 4. The entrance is on the south side of the building, door #4. There will be signs to help you find your way.

6. The Kings Island Trip is almost full! Limited spots will be filled in the order they are received with a signed permission slip and payment.

7. Athletic Physicals — An updated physical (dates on/after April 1) must be turned in prior to participation in summer athletic activities. The physical must be on the IHSAA physical form, contain an original doctor’s signature, and include the doctor’s license number. Physicals can be turned into the junior high office.

8. Athletic paperwork — The online paperwork for athletic participation in 2016-17 can now be completed by going to www.rankonesport.com. This paperwork must be submitted prior to participating in summer athletic activities.

9. Clinic News: Please keep in mind that no medication can be sent home with students per state law. Therefore, we would ask that you pick this up at the conclusion of the year, or it will be properly disposed of.

10. Lost and Found: We would ask that if your child has misplaced an item over the last few weeks, please have them check the lost and found table by the health classroom. Any item remaining at the end of the school year will be donated to a local charity.
