                               FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT
                            The 2021-2022 school year is approaching quickly. We are planning to return to school
                            in-person every day and in the safest manner possible. We have learned a lot over the
                            last school year and will use this knowledge to leverage us in planning for this year.
                            Also, the parent feedback shared with school administration in the spring was appreci-
                            ated and helpful in making decisions. Thank you for your continued support for the
                            schools!
                            You might have noticed the improvements done on several of our parking lots over
                            the summer. We have excellent facilities and therefore, keeping them maintained and
                            updated is one of the many priorities we consistently focus on. All other summer
cleaning and projects are mostly complete. In addition to continuing with cleaning protocols this school year, we
are consciously working to keep fresh air flowing through the building. Special HEPA Units and filters are being
considered to assist with this, which will be funded by the Coronavirus Relief Funds.
         I would like to welcome our new staff to the Bearcat family: Kelli Williams – Athletic Director, Keith
Lenhart – H.S. History teacher, Kyle Koenig – H.S. History teacher, Luke Gerardot – 2nd Grade teacher, Brianna
Osterhage – Intervention Specialist, Josiah Stober – Intervention Specialist, Rachel Bohyer – Tutor, and Melanie
Wapplehorst – Sign Language Interpreter. Some of these positions are replacements, while others are new posi-
tions to help with our academic needs.
         Spencerville Schools is proud of the many extra-curricular activities offered to our students. Back on the
sports schedule is Boys Golf, coached by Kory Zenz. In other sports news: The Spencerville Village and School
District will be hosting a 9-11 memorial event at our September 10th home football game against Bluffton. All
active military and veterans, as well as 1st Responders will have free admittance into the game. Several special
recognitions and activities are being planned for this event. Please come out and support our student athletes,
while honoring those who have sacrificed to protect our country.
         I encourage everyone to continue to visit our school website for all the latest updates. You can find our
district plans for Learning to our families who have supported the school through the Pandemic and continue to
allow us the privilege to educate over 900 students every year.
         School Vision: Learning and Growing Together as One School, One Community, One Purpose.

WE are Bearcats!

I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe as we continue to deal with the CO-
VID-19 pandemic. The 2020-2021 school year was definitely different, but we were
able to have students attend in-person the whole year. As the year progressed, we were
able to get back to some sense of normalcy. At the conclusion of the 2020-2021 school
year, ­Dominic Adkins and Dylan Wierwille received the American Legion School
Award Medal. They were selected based on seven qualities for development: courage,
­patriotism, honor, scholarship, leadership, and service. This is a new award to Spencer-
 ville and we will continue our partnership with the American Legion.
         I hope that everyone was able to find some time to relax and unwind with family
 and friends this summer. Everyone needed some time to recharge the batteries and have
 some time for themselves. As we move toward the 2021-2022 school year, it is important we continue to work
 together as the world continues to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic. Working and communicating together will
 help resolve any difficulties we face this school year. There will be some new faces in the building as we start
 the year. Keith Lenhart, a 2013 graduate, will be teaching American History and other social studies electives.
 Joining Keith in the social studies department will be Kyle Koenig. Kyle will be teaching world history and
 eighth grade social studies. You will also see Coach Koenig on the sideline this fall with the football team. In
 the athletic department, we welcome Kelli Williams as our new athletic director. All three of these people will be
 great additions to our Bearcat staff! You will get the chance to meet them at our open house on Monday, August
 30th, from 6pm to 7pm. In addition to the new faces, we will have a new grading scale. The board approved the
 following grading scale and point values at the June meeting: A 94-100 (4.0), A- 90-93 (3.7), B+ 87-89 (3.3), B
 83-86 (3.0), B- 80-82 (2.7), C+ 77-79 (2.3), C 73-76 (2.0), C- 70-72 (1.7), D+ 67-69 (1.3), D 63-66 (1.0), D- 60-62
 (0.7), F 59-0 (0.0). The doors will unlock for students to enter the building at 7:25am. The school day is 7:45am
 to 2:45pm. As of right now, breakfast and lunch will be provided free to all students.
         We are doing everything we can to make this another great school year while keeping everyone as safe as
 possible. We have an amazing community with great students, parents, and staff! We all want what is best for our
 Bearcat students. I saw this quote this summer that was adapted from a quote by Damian Barr. “We are not all
 in the same boat. We are in the same storm. Some have yachts, some have canoes, and some are drowning. Just
 be kind and help whoever you can.”
         If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me. As I mentioned above, communication
 is key and we can solve any issues or problems by talking. You can reach me at gepharts@svbearcats.org or
 419.647.4111 ext. 3203. Take care and stay healthy! We will continue to get through this!

FFA advisors, Mr. Ryan McMichael and Ms. Lori Romie state “This achievement is an outstanding display of the work tof our

All star-rated FFA chapters receive honors made possible by corporate sponsor John Deere. “Feeding some 9 billion people

ELEMENTARY NEWS
                                             Welcome to the 2021-22 school year!! I hope you enjoyed your summer and
                                   spent the time reconnecting with family and friends. The elementary staff is excited
                                   to have students return to in-person learning for 5 days a week. We believe being in
                                   school full time will enable us to provide the best educational opportunities for all
                                   ­students.
                                             Staff will continue to communicate using class dojo. Teachers will send out
                                    ­instructions for new class accounts as we near closer to the start of school.
                                             Open House will be Monday, August 30th from 6-7. Students will be able to
                                     bring their supplies and meet their teachers. Since students in grades 3 and 4 have
                                     ­multiple teachers, a class video with information for a successful year will be emailed
                                      via final forms closer to the opening of the school year.
                                             Welcome new staff:Luke Gerardot will be a new addition to the second grade
                                      staff. Luke is a Bluffton graduate and will begin his first year of teaching. He ­student
taught at both Columbus Grove and Allen East. He believes in a hand-on approach to teaching and values the ­importance
of building strong relationships with both his students and parents.
         Brianna Osterhage will be the Intervention Specialist for grades 2 and 3. Bri has been an intervention specialist
for one of our county multiple disabilities classrooms for the last 3 years. She has extensive knowledge to help support
all students. Her enthusiasm and energy will be an asset to our Spencerville teaching staff.
         Arrival and Dismissal:Arrival will continue as usual for students who do not ride the bus. Drop off will be at
the main entrance under the bell tower. Students will enter the building at 8:25.
         Dismissal will continue in the same manner as last year. K-4 students who do not ride the bus will be picked
up in the west parking lot off Kolter Rd as usual. I am asking that parents/guardians pull into a park-
ing spot and walk up to the grade level line to pick up your child. Please DO NOT park along the
­sidewalk for pick up as this will create a “bottleneck” into the drive that leads into the parking lot.
         Congratulations!!Stryker Stockstill and Kinsley Myers earned the American Legion School
 Award Medal for their outstanding qualities of courage, patriotism, honor, scholarship, leadership
 and service. This award is given each year and students are chosen by the 4th grade teachers. Way to
 go Stryker and Kinsley!! We are proud of you!
         PTO: I would like to thank our PTO, parents and students for a successful Laps for Learn-
 ing campaign in the spring! The staff and students had a blast!! PTO is vital to providing wonderful
 opportunities for our students! PTO sponsors all K-4 fieldtrips, books for our classrooms and libraries, and multiple
 rewards teachers give to students. We appreciate all of the time and effort these volunteers give to our school commu-
 nity. Please consider being a part of this amazing organization!! Please contact Amy Pohlman for more information.
         New grading scale: The board approved the following grading scale and point values at the June meeting. This
 scale will apply to all students in grades 1-12. While elementary students do not calculate a grade point average, the
 scale will contribute to letter grades earned for their grade card.

 (1.7), D+ 67-69 (1.3), D 63-66 (1.0), D- 60-62 (0.7), F 59-0 (0.0).
         Unfortunately, Covid is still lingering and causing some concerns for the upcoming school year. The ­elementary
 staff will do our best to keep our students safe and healthy. Our goal is not to create anxiety for our students and to keep
 our learning environments as normal as possible. I believe our staff did an outstanding job with this last year and will
 continue to do the same this year. We look forward to a productive and engaging school year. Please keep the lines of
 communication open. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. My door is always open. Feel
 free to contact me via phone at (419) 647-4113 ext 3101 or via email at wagners@svbearcats.org.

A Note from the Treasurer
Income Tax Renewal- No New Taxes
Our Income tax levy is up for renewal in November 2021. It is a 1% income tax levy. We have counted on community
support in the past and hope the support will continue for this no new tax levy that is vital to keeping our schools prop-
erly funded. The levy accounted for 10.56% of revenue in FY21 (7/2020-06/2021). Our expenses are increasing at a
reasonable growth but revenues are currently flat. (Revenues are currently at FY19 levels.) As everyone went through
covid and income in general went down, so did the district revenue from the current income tax levy. The income tax
revenue is receipted directly into the general fund to be used for all instructional needs, staff salaries, and staff benefits.
We have worked very hard to be a good steward of the community’s tax dollars. In the midst of a pandemic, trying to
keep students and staff safe and spending mindfully for the betterment of the district and ultimately the community has
been the goal. Your vote in favor of the tax levy would allow Spencerville Schools to continue to weather the storm
in good shape.

How the pandemic has affected the district financially
When the State of Ohio cut funding in FY20 of $170,000 to Spencerville schools, all schools were told the cuts would
continue through FY21. However, the State of Ohio restored partial funding in January 2021. We are expecting the
remainder to be restored in October 2021. This brings the state funding back up to FY19 levels. Currently we are using
the Elementary and Secondary Emergency Education Relief Fund (ESSER) funds to bridge the gap between revenue
levels and expenditure levels.

Grants the district has taken advantage of or is in the process of taking advantage of are:
1.      Rural and Small Town Grant - $53,375.69 – These funds were used for personal protection equipment and sup-
plies in FY21.
2.      Broadband Grant - $7,500 to provide internet to students during remote learning. These funds were used in
FY21 and the remainder will be used in FY22.
3.      Library Grant - $2,000 to provide additional technology supplies for remote learning. These funds were used
in FY21.
4.      ESSER I – $124,894.11 – These funds were used to sustain some staffing salaries and supplies in FY21.
5.      ESSER II - $487,833.02 – These funds are currently being used to sustain certain staff salaries and benefits.
These funds will be used across FY22 and FY23.
6.      ESSER III – 1,096,381.84 These funds are being used for the following: 20% used for learning losses, 2 bus-
ses, education technology, software licenses, transitional first teacher, a tutor, providing mental health services, indoor
air quality, continuing to employ existing staff, and other necessary activities to maintain the operations and continuity
of service. These funds will be used across FY22, FY23, and FY24.

As you can see, we are working hard to minimize costs to the district’s general fund by leveraging all available state
and federal funds so we can continue to provide an outstanding education for all Spencerville students. If you have
any questions please call Brenda Core, Spencerville Schools Treasurer at 419 647-4111 x 3204 or email me at coreb@
svbearcats.org.
As the principal of Spencerville Middle School, I am excited to welcome
                                 you to the 2021-22 school year. First, let me thank you for your support and
                                 ­dunderstanding as we responded to the guidelines of the pandemic. Our students,
                                  parents, staff, and ­community handled the demands very well in sudden change
                                  moments. I want everyone to know how blessed I am to have a great school
                                  family. Teachers, Secretaries, Support Staff, Fellow Administrators, Counselors,
                                  Nurse, Custodians, Café Staff, Bus Drivers, Parents/Guardians. I believe we have
                                  all grown to appreciate each other’s commitment to children. I pray that we con-
                                  tinue to grow together, find some peace, and that we all continue to work as a
                                  team.
                                        Welcome new staff members to the Spencerville Middle School! Mr. Kyle

                                   Bowling Green State University and has local ties as he also graduated from Mar-
ion Local High School.
         Mr. Josiah Stober will be our new intervention teacher. Josiah is a Spencerville graduate and has recently
been teaching at the Delphos City Schools. A newly added position of a 5-12 tutor has been filled by Mrs. Rachel
­Bohyer. Rachel has been working in the Spencerville School System as an educational aide.
         Congratulations to Kaitlyn Keller and Brody Sommers as they were selected as the American Legion
 ­Student of the Year for the 20-21 school year. This award is given to a boy/girl in 8th grade that demonstrates
  strong qualities of character and citizenship. Each student will receive up to $75 for the next school year’s fees
  paid by the American Legion. We thank the American Legion for recognizing these students and their continued
  support.

        New Grading Scale: The board approved the following grading scale and point values at the June meet-
ing: A 94-100 (4.0), A- 90-93 (3.7), B+ 87-89 (3.3), B 83-86 (3.0), B- 80-82 (2.7), C+ 77-79 (2.3), C 73-76 (2.0),
C- 70-72 (1.7), D+ 67-69 (1.3), D 63-66 (1.0), D- 60-62 (0.7), F 59-0 (0.0).
        The number one factor in your son or daughter’s education is YOU! To me things are very simple to be
successful, show up with a great attitude, treat people kindly, do what is expected, and prepare to learn! These
things cost nothing to do and pay great dividends!
I ask that you:
1. Make time for daily chats about school
2. Don’t accept “Nothing” when you ask your child “What did you learn today?”
3. Check that homework is complete
4. Support the school, become familiar with the school policies.
         Bottom line be involved! I have always said, the most difficult yet rewarding job of all is being a parent.
Don’t assume that once they are in middle school, they don’t need your involvement. They do! The entire faculty
and staff are looking forward to welcoming your children back. I welcome and value your positive energy and
dedication to excellence in education, and I look forward to working with you and your children. As you know,
it takes a strong connection with the community and vital to the strength of the connection is communication and
understanding the system. I ask that if you ever have a concern/question, please contact the school directly for
information. Social media can be a great tool for information yet many use it as a venting ground without specif-
ics. This may lead to unexpected confusion. Please know that your child is important to us.
         A great quote to live by...“Do everything with a good heart and expect nothing in return, and you will
never be disappointed”. Good luck to you this upcoming school year!
Open House will be August 30th from 6-7 p.m.
We ask that you guide and support your child’s learning by ensuring that he/she:
1.       Attends school daily and arrives on time, ready for the day’s learning experience
2.       Becomes familiar with the school’s policies, rules, and procedures.
3.       Get’s involved with school outside the classroom setting
4.       Has a place to study

DO NOT send your child to school if feeling sick, especially if has a fever (>100 degrees Fahrenheit), a cough, or
shortness of breath. Please contact your family physician for guidance or call the Lima COVID-19 Community
Call Center at 419.226.9000. 2) If you are called to pick up a sick child, please try to do as soon as possible or
have backup arrangements in place. 3) Please reinforce handwashing with soap/water for at least 20 seconds. En-
courage your child to cough and sneeze with a tissue or use sleeve. Wash hands or use hand sanitizer afterwards.
Your child’s teachers will also be reinforcing proper hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette throughout the school
year. Please call me for any questions or concerns. Thank you for your cooperation as we start the school year.

Special Education Students:
Amended House Bill 95 requires all students who are initially identified with a disability to have a comprehensive
eye examination from an eye doctor within 90 days unless the student has had a previous eye examination in the
past 9 months. Cost should not be an issue for students without insurance as assistance is available. Please contact
the school psychologist, Heidi Hollar, or me for further information.

Reminder on School’s Medication Policy:
Any prescription medication that is to be taken during school hours must be dropped off by the parent, guardian,
or other authorized adult and will be logged in by the nurse or secretary. Students are prohibited from carrying
prescription medication into the school or carry during school hours. In addition, over-the-counter (OTC) medica-
tions needs to be dropped off first thing in the morning in the clinic or office. Students are not permitted to have
in their possession an OTC medication during school hours.

Kindergarteners:
Please have your child’s immunizations completed by the first day of school. If your child received shots over the
summer, please turn in an updated copy of the shot record to the elementary secretary. Kindergartners who are not
up-to-date on immunizations will be excluded from school by October 15, 2021 as required by Section 3313.671
of the Ohio Revised Code.

A copy of the original birth certificate, issued from the health department in the county where the child was born,
is also required for entry to Kindergarten by the first day of school according to Section 3313.672 of the Ohio
Revised Code. Hospital birth certificates are not acceptable. Please drop off a copy of your child’s birth certificate
to the elementary secretary, if you have not already done so.
7th Graders & Immunization Requirements:
A Tdap (Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid, and Acellular Pertussis) booster and one dose of the Meningo-
coccal vaccine is required for all 7th graders, including digital academy students, by the first day of the 2021-2022
school year. Please send in documentation to the school after receiving the Tdap and Meningococcal vaccines.

12th Graders & Immunization Requirement:
The Meningococcal vaccine is required for all 12th graders, including Apollo, digital academy, and post-secondary
students, by the first day of the 2021-2022 school year. Please note that if your child had a dose of the Meningococcal
vaccine before the age of 16, a second dose will be required. Please send in documentation after receiving the Menin-
gococcal vaccine.

Dental Service:
Health Partners of Western Ohio will be returning to Spencerville Schools in early April or May. They offer a dental
prevention program within the school, which includes an exam, cleaning, fluoride treatment, and dental sealants. They
will bill Medicaid or private insurance and there will be no out of pocket expense. If there is no dental coverage, it
will be provided free of charge. The program is open to all K-12 students. Applications will be available in February.

Confidentiality:
All health information that relates to any student at Spencerville Schools, such as emergency medical forms, emer-
gency action plans, and health records, is treated as highly confidential. This information is only shared with specific
school personnel on a need-to-know basis. Please notify me if you have any concerns or questions regarding this.

Questions or Concerns:
Call 419-647-4113, ext. 3105 or email ericksonc@svbearcats.org

Let’s have a great school year!
