Mt. Healthy City School District Remote Learning Event Mt. Healthy City School District recognizes the importance of keeping students and staff healthy during in-person instruction. We appreciate that our students do their best when working in-person with their teachers. We are also mindful of the delicate balance necessary for the wellness of everyone while providing in-person instruction. Due to a rise in COVID 19 cases and the quarantines that are associated with those cases, that delicate balance of wellness and in-person instruction is becoming challenging. Therefore, Mt. Healthy City School District is taking a proactive approach, for all of our community, by planning a remote learning event that will occur from October 11th to October 22nd. This event is scheduled during a time that our students will be out of school for staff professional development on October 18th and 19th. Students and parents/guardians will receive remote learning instructions from building principals and teachers. During the time of the remote learning event, our buildings will extensively be cleaned to ensure a safe environment when returning to in-person learning on October 25th. As a celebration, our Early Center is scheduled to be ready on October 20th. We will be moving items during the remote instruction time so that students will start back at the new facility. We will have a celebration at the Early Learning Center on October 24th at 2 pm for all that would like to attend. Working together as one, we know we can meet the needs of our students while also keeping everyone safe. If you have further questions, please contact your building principals.

Mt. Healthy City School District Food Pantry is hosting "Dinner at Home" distribution on Wednesday, September 22 from 2:30-4 pm. Families may pick-up a special meal box in addition to the regular food distribution package. The special meal box will include all the ingredients, a recipe for the meal, and a link to a video food demonstration making the meal. Boxes are available to the first 150 families. Distribution will take place at the Jr/Sr High School Warehouse, behind the school. Please pre-register using the link: https://forms.gle/rNXUJxSq9KQLwvL3A

Jr/Sr High School Picture Day is rescheduled for Monday, Oct 4.

Dear Mt. Healthy City Schools Parents and Guardians; As many of you are aware, we are seeing an increase in COVID 19 cases in Hamilton County and in our district. This increase in cases has led to staff shortages in the transportation department due to COVID-19 quarantines. Mt. Healthy City School District is collaborating with Peterson Transportation to make every effort to staff buses with drivers to ensure that every child is picked up and dropped off on time. However, currently staff shortages are making this very challenging. Current drivers are covering two to three routes to ensure that all bus riders are provided transportation. This is causing some buses to run later than normal during pick up and drop off. We are asking that students/parents please remain at the bus stops until your child is picked up and/or dropped off. Our number one priority is providing quality education to our students and community. We apologize for this inconvenience.

Mt. Healthy City School District Kicks Off an Amazing Year With Building Open Houses Every new school year brings the opportunity for the families of Mt. Healthy City School District to attend an Open House or Back to School event. This year was no exception. Each building in the Mt. Healthy CSD offered an Open House/Meet the Teacher Night for students and parents to meet new teachers, new administrative staff, visit classrooms, hear about building-wide expectations, gain important literacy information and much more. The Mt. Healthy Jr/Sr High School held their Open House on Thursday, August 11 to allow junior high and high school students to pick up their schedules. Parents or guardians were able to connect with teachers and staff. The Mt. Healthy Junior High School welcomed new and current administrators: Matt Morris, Principal, David Grathwohl, Assistant Principal, and Kianna Marks, Assistant Principal. The Mt. Healthy High School introduced a few new faces in addition to current administrators: Arnez Gray, Principal, Michael Lindsey, Assistant Principal for 9th grade, Amy Criswell, Assistant Principal for 10th grade, Tyler Meyer, Assistant Principal for 11th/12th grade (last names A-L), and William Amburgey, Assistant Principal for 11th/12th grade (last names M-Z). They look forward to a successful year of learning and growing. Parents and guardians of kindergarteners and preschoolers attended a virtual Open House for the new Early Learning Center, set to open in late October. The new Assistant Principals, Mrs. Burg and Mrs. Powers welcomed families and gave them a virtual tour of the building and the construction progress being made. They explained expectations and procedures for students while they still attended the elementary buildings. Both Assistant Principals are excited to move into the new building in late October and celebrate the new space with our little Owls. On Wednesday, August 18, the day after school began for most district students both elementary buildings held an Open House/Meet the Teacher night. South Elementary welcomed families for a Meet the Teacher Night. During their event, families listened as the building principal and administrative staff explained expectations for the school year as well as highlighting some upcoming scheduled events. Families also had the opportunity to meet and talk with different individuals (staff, a representative of Girl Scouts USA, Mt. Healthy Band teachers, and South PTO representatives). Prior to Meet the Teacher Night, the building administrators invited families for a “Pop In & Meet the Principals” day to provide families the opportunity to meet Mrs. Brittany Dickerson, South’s new principal, Ms. Cynthia Vaugn, Assistant Principal, Ms. Laura Warman, Assistant Principal and Mr. Bob Buchheim, Dean of Students. The positive energy buzzing around South Elementary is encouraging for a fantastic school year for all students, staff and families. North Elementary an Open House. Families were introduced to Mrs. Christina Ellis-Townsend, North’s new building principal and her new Assistant Principals: Mr. Deondre Drakeford, Mr. Tony Greco, and Ms. Tenisha Smith. They shared building-wide expectations, new procedures, uniforms, and literacy information with the families. Parents and families then headed to classrooms to meet teachers and staff. The North staff is positive that this will be a wonderful school year for all students, staff and families.
