Hello Badger Brave Families. We have had an incredible start to the school year, and I want to thank all of you. I also want to share some incredible news!
The USDA just shared some amazing information this week. All students in the Joseph Badger School District are able to receive a free breakfast and a free lunch every day through the month of December. And when I say all, I mean everyone! Any breakfast or lunch meals purchased prior to this announcement will be reimbursed. Please know this program is for full meals and that we still have to charge for any ala carte items.
These same free breakfasts and lunches are available for our remote learners as well. You can pick up a week’s worth of food beginning this Monday and every Monday after that from 9:00-9:15 by our flagpole. Please let us know if you are planning on taking advantage of this service so that we can prepare your food. An email is being sent to you with a link to respond or you can call us and leave a message at 330 876-2808. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdQ9_9m8BleH4FC6cNjT5gjF-bU7zABOyZ4mQBGGd1IdUVDzw/viewform
We are elated to make this announcement. We are here for you Braves. Stay safe. Stay Healthy.

Good evening Badger Braves. We are almost there. School bus routes are on our website. If you need anything different from what is posted, give us a call and we will accommodate. Please remember, wearing a mask is mandatory as ordered by our governor and the Ohio Department of Health. Please have your children put on their masks before getting on the bus or before entering our building. We are able to provide masks for anyone who needs them. Breaks will be provided throughout the day. And lastly, for any student who is studying online and who needs a laptop or other device, we will be passing them out for all grades tomorrow from 5:00-7:00. Have a great and safe night. Face to face instruction will begin on Tuesday. Good night.

Good evening Badger Braves. As you may have heard, our governor today has changed the level of our county to red. We have already met with our local health department and our commissioner has advised us to continue opening as planned. This will, however, impact the threshold of when we send kids home who show any one symptom including a cough, sore throat or fever. If your child has any symptom, you will need to keep them home. Also, please check and verify your Final Forms information so that we can be certain to be able to reach you if needed.
In other news, our elementary schedules are now complete! They will be on our website tomorrow. Busing information is being finalized and pick-up and drop-off info will be coming soon. Have a great night.

The $5,880,000 refinancing will save District taxpayers $441,095 over the life of the bonds, approximately 6.212% in present value savings The Series 2012 Bonds were originally a refinancing of the District’s Series 2003 Various Purpose Bonds.
