Announcements from the News Letter

STUDENT FEES Students may pay school fees in the office during lunch or after school. Grade cards will be held and course credit cannot be certified until fees have been paid. Students will also not be allowed to attend school dances or receive a work permit until fees are paid or a payment plan is arranged. A fee waiver application is available in the main office. Parent Survey Fall 2012 As part of our improvement initiatives, we are asking parents to respond to a school climate survey. Please go to the survey link http://goo.gl/OPqBz on the district web site at www.urbana.k12.oh.us. All survey responses are anonymous. Although we invite any and all comments, both positive and negative, please understand that published results of this survey will not include negative comments that directly name an individual. Thank you for your valuable input as we continue to move forward with our improvement efforts. VOICE MAIL ALL URBANA CITY SCHOOLS’ OFFICES HAVE VOICE MAIL FOR YOUR CONVIENCE. YOU CAN LEAVE A MESSAGE AT ANY TIME, DAY OR NIGHT. VOICE MAIL IS DIFFERENT FROM AN ANSWERING MACHINE. IF THE OFFICE PHONE IS IN USE, THE SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHES TO THE RECORDING SO THAT YOU DO NOT GET A BUSY SIGNAL. THE ONLY TIME YOU SHOULD GET A BUSY SIGNAL IS WHEN THE OFFICE PHONE IS IN USE AND A MESSAGE IS ALSO GOING TO THE VOICE MAIL AT THE SAME TIME. FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH APPLICATIONS AND INSTRUCTIONAL FEES Please make sure you have completed and returned the Free and Reduced Price School Meals Application for your student. During the 2012-2013 school year, Ohio Revised Code 3313.642 prohibits districts from charging instructional fees for those eligible for free lunch through this program. This fee wavier applies to those receiving free (not reduced) lunch prices. To receive the instructional fee wavier, the Sharing Information with Other Programs Form must be completed and returned.
