At our recent school board meeting we honored three of our retirees. Kim Metz who started in the district in 1990 working in many of our buildings as a physical education teacher, coach, and guidance counselor. Brigitte Lietz started with the district in 1994 as part of our food service staff at Cridersville and then the middle school, and finally Kara Kohler who started with Wapakoneta in 1995 serving as a 5th grade teacher at Buckland and the middle school.
These ladies touched many students' lives while serving in their roles and they will be missed! Thank you for all that you have done for the students and staff at Wapakoneta City Schools.
As we prepare for the start of school please take a look at the school calendar. August 15 is our Back to School Celebration, and the first day of school is August 20.
Parents, We are requesting that you update your final forms by July 15 so that we can begin planning our bus routes for next school year. We appreciate your help with this!
This last Tuesday our cafeteria staff handed out 303 meal packages at the high school and 101 at Cridersville. This amounts to seven breakfasts and seven lunches per child. Thank you to our staff for doing this for our community!

Please keep our families who lost their homes in your prayers. Also those in other communities such as St. Marys and Indian Lake.

As you are aware, a Solar Eclipse will be taking place on April 8 this year. We are expecting a great deal of visitors and traffic in Wapakoneta, and the surrounding area.
The path of the eclipse passes over our community in the early afternoon near our dismissal time. Due to this we will not be having school that day. Our teachers will be planning learning activities that involve the eclipse and will share these with our young people as the date approaches.
Our goal is for the kids to experience the eclipse, provide fun/meaningful learning activities, and to keep them at home and away from the congestion.
The district has been in communication with other school districts and the local agencies to make sure we are all on the same page when it comes to planning for April 8.
If you have questions please reach out to me.
Sincerely,
Aaron Rex
