SCHOOL FEES

School fees can conveniently be paid on PaySchools this year. Select the “payments” button on the high school homepage and log into your PaySchools account. If you still need to set up your account remember to enter your student ID, found on ProgressBook or on their schedules. And also select “Green Local- Wayne” as the school.

SPORTS PASSES

Students received their free sports pass this week via student square and parent square. These allow all students K-12 to get into home sporting events for free all year.  Students should show their pass at the admission gate for free entry. 

PSAT Starting today, 8/24, PSAT sign up is available in the Guidance office for students in grades 10 and 11.  This exam tests students skills in reading, writing and math.  Minimum qualifying scores could also get students entered into the National Merit Scholarship Program.  It will be administered on October 20th during the day at SHS.  Information about the benefits of taking the test can be found here.  This is optional.  The cost of the test is $18 and the deadline to register is Monday, 8/31. ACT A complete list of ACT test test dates can be found here.  If your child needs ACT scores for things like college admittance or scholarships, please make note of registration deadlines.

IMPORTANT BACK-TO-SCHOOL IMMUNIZATION NOTICE

Per Ohio law, students entering the 7th and 12th grades must have updated vaccination records or an official exemption form on file by the 14th day of school to avoid exclusion from classes.

12th Grade Requirements:

• Meningococcal: 2 doses required before the school year begins (the initial 7th-grade dose plus a second booster). Only 1 dose is required if your child received their first shot after their 16th birthday.

QUICK TIPS FOR TEENS One simple way families can support healthy habits at home is by replacing sugary drinks with water or other lower-sugar options. Choosing fewer sugary beverages can help children maintain steadier energy levels throughout the day and avoid the highs and crashes that can come with consuming large amounts of added sugar. Making small changes to what we drink each day can be an easy step toward supporting overall health, focus, and well-being.

FINAL FORMS All parents and students must complete final forms.   Visit the high school homepage and click on the Final Forms button to log into your account. Please double-check that all forms have been completed.

COMMUNICATION FROM MILITARY BRANCHES

Each year the various branches of the military request student name, address and phone number.  Federal law requires we share this information with them.  (Section 9528 of the ESEA and 10 U.S.C. 503 c) They use this information to share accurate and relevant education and career materials with students who may be considering their future pathways. All information is used exclusively for education, career awareness and outreach efforts in accordance with Department of Defence privacy and data protection requirements.
