MATT HOUSH Principal, Mills Lawn School “Education breeds confidence. Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace.” — Confucius Summer is winding down and the start of the 2019–20 school year is drawing near! I am so proud to share that this is my tenth year serving the students and families of YS Schools! Mills Lawn remains committed to educating our students’ hearts and minds in order to help them grow in a supportive learning environment. During the first six weeks of school, we use discussion and student
achievement. Every student, from kindergarten to 12th grade, will participate in hands-on, deeper learning that encourages creativity, collaboration and exploration. Project-based learning also ensures that our students and teachers are engaging in meaningful work throughout the year. It provides our students with the opportunity to tackle the real-world issues that our community faces; to make an impact locally and globally; and it enables them to learn about topics that they find thought-provoking. Finally, project-based learning is a vehicle by which we can address issues of equity, in terms of educational access and opportunity, for our children. Our innovative approach to learning here at Yellow Springs Schools has made our district a leader in Ohio and part of the movement to prepare our young people to change the world. This is possible not only because of the dedication of our teachers and staff, but also the commitment our students and their families show to education, the leadership of our Board of Education and administration and the support of community members who believe in providing quality educational experiences for children. Yellow Springs Schools continues the tradition of growing fearless thinkers.
input to develop classroom culture and work toward shared understandings. This intentional focus allows us time to build a solid foundation that all learning will stem from. We will continue to meet learners where they are and help them succeed academically and socially. I hope you feel encouraged to dive in and be an active part of the classroom, school and PTO. The 2019–20 school year is going to be awesome and the Mills Lawn staff is ready to engage your children through project work that focuses on critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. As always, strong parent and community partnerships are vital to support our students and help make our curriculum come alive. Project-based learning provides many opportunities for “community experts” to share with students and propel project work through feedback and discussion. Our classrooms rely on volunteers to help support students and teachers in many ways including extra help with academics, field trips, and social events. Please visit for lunch when you can and stay connected to the classroom through ongoing communication with our teachers. We hope you

Principal McKinney Middle School & Yellow Springs High School With summer winding down and a great school year ahead, I would like to welcome each student, parent, caregiver and community member. I genuinely hope that summer break has provided opportunities to get rested, recharged and ready for an awesome 2019 –20 school year. When the students return on Aug. 22, they will be greeted by our strong team of teachers ready to engage them in deep and meaningful learning that promotes agency, collaboration, professionalism and innovation. Continuing our goal of delivering content through PBL practices, Mr. Kevin Lydy will be transitioning to a half-time position teaching government and AP U.S. history. The other half of his time will be spent serving our staff and students as a PBL instructional coach. We are excited to be welcoming Ms. Hannah Weinstein to our team to teach 10th grade U.S. history and Mr. Jeff Eyrich to our team as our new director of athletics and student leadership. Ms. Lorrie Sparrow-Knapp will be a full-time member of our team this year, offering three new courses: choir, acting and script analysis, and stagecraft. Ms. Naomi Hyatt will be moving up from Mills Lawn and will be
working with our McKinney students as an intervention specialist. Kelley Oberg will also be moving up from Mills Lawn and will be working with our McKinney students as an instructional aide. The 2019–20 school year will be the second year of our 1:1 Chromebook program. This year we will be exploring ways to more impactfully integrate the Chromebooks into our curriculum, unlocking the power of the tools to promote more engaging learning and deeper understanding. Additionally, we will be building on our work around social and emotional learning as we intentionally integrate the new SEL standards throughout our courses and school. Finally, the 2019–20 school year will bring two new career tech pathways in the arts and communication field: visual design and imaging, and performing arts. In addition to the new courses taught by Ms. SparrowKnapp, our existing art courses will get a reboot, with a more intentional focus on career preparation. We believe these changes will support continued progress, growth and success in our project work. Our teachers have been working throughout the spring and summer to develop more rigorous, engaging and authentic projects that bring learning to life and develop curiosity in our students. If your time, talents and interests permit you to partner with the teachers and administration, please contact me at 7677224 to discuss possibilities. If you aren’t exactly sure how you can be involved, please sign up for the district Facebook page, One Call updates and Twitter accounts via our district website. These links can help keep tabs on school and district happenings as well as identify some of those opportunities to get involved that fit your level of commitment. Until then, enjoy the rest of the summer and get ready for what should prove to be a terrific year. Go Bulldogs!

Founded in 1921 by Arthur Morgan, Antioch School is one of the oldest alternative schools in the country. Serving children from nursery through the sixth grade in ungraded, multi-age classrooms, it is a place in which children are encouraged to pursue their innate curiosity wherever, and as far as, their abilities can take them. Through example and direct experience, children learn self-discipline, self-direction, value setting and the relationship between choice and consequence. In addition to the daily academic lessons, the children engage in music, drama, art and science. Expansive, beautiful outside play areas encourage an abundance of outside play, with weekly excursions into the nearby nature preserve. Remaining a small school by design, Antioch School is a place where childhood is respected and children are enjoyed.
The Mills Lawn School open house will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 20, from 5:30– 6:30 p.m., in the gym.

Start of year activities An open house and new student orientation for McKinney and YSHS students and families will be held Wednesday, Aug. 21, 7–8:30 p.m., in the school gym. Class schedules for all students will be available in the guidance office. Teachers in grades 7–12 will be introduced at the open house, and the buildings will be open for students, parents and guardians to tour classrooms and meet their teachers. Parents should notify the school early if their child is absent or tardy. The state requires the school to check on all unexcused absences, and a phone call can make this easier. Parents should register students for transportation with the form included in student packets. The forms are to be turned in to the office where the student goes to school. Continued on page 10 4

A number of Yellow Springs students either walk or ride their bikes to school each day and to or from after-school activities. As the school year begins, it is essential for all community members to inspect the areas around their sidewalks to make sure that they are safe and accessible for students. Please be sure to cut back vegetation so that the width of the entire sidewalk is cleared for people to walk on. Remove all poisonous plants near the sidewalk, and make sure that overhanging branches are cut back to allow an individual at least 75 inches tall to pass unobstructed. Ohio law (ORC 4511) requires drivers to yield the right of way when crossing sidewalks and when pedestrians are in a marked crosswalk. Drivers are asked to take special precautions in watching for students who are walking or biking in the village. Yellow Springs schools follow a no-tolerance policy for pesticides on school grounds. Information about the pesticides ban can be found at the Board of Education office.

Yellow springs High School
The McKinney team teachers are excited to share a streamlined supply list. After a great deal of reflection, we have developed the following list that addresses our goals of minimizing cost and more effectively supporting student organization and learning. We believe the supplies requested below support learning in our block schedule and student success in interdisciplinary PBL activities. We will take time during the first week of school to organize a binder. We will also be utilizing a supply closet model to organize materials for our project work. If you are having trouble finding the exact item, a comparable replacement is fine.
Grade 9 The ninth-grade team teachers are pleased to share the following streamlined supply list for 2019–20. We have developed the following list to address our goals of minimizing cost and more effectively supporting student learning and organization. We believe the supplies requested below support learning in our block schedule and student success in interdisciplinary PBL activities. Several items listed below are specific in size and color. Individual teachers may have specific supply requests for certain assignments throughout the year. However, ninth-grade students should have the following supplies for individual use throughout the year. If you are having trouble finding the exact item, a comparable replacement is fine.

Immunizations and other health services may be scheduled by calling 937-708-3400. The center accepts all insurance, most Medicaids (with the exception of Molina) and accepts payment on a sliding fee scale.

Health Services Students with a fever — temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher — vomiting, diarrhea or communicable diseases (vesicular rash, fever) should not attend school until the condition has resolved. Parents must call the school when a child will be absent. Students must be fever-free for 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing medication (Tylenol, ibuprofen, etc.) before they are allowed to return to school. Students requiring medication during the school day must complete the staterequired paperwork, which is available in the school office or on the school website. It is a violation of school policy for students to have medication in school without proper authorization. Be aware that a physician/provider signature is required for all prescription medications. Hearing and vision screening will be provided for students in grades kindergarten, first, third, fifth, seventh, ninth and 11th during the year. YS Schools also plans to offer a visit from an area mobile dental unit.
