The playground committee has extended the deadline for its stadium blanket fundraiser to Wednesday, October 30. They've asked that your students return all order forms by then if they haven't done so already.
Please be aware that the District, either directly or through a technology provider, is electing to generally monitor all school-issued devices (as that term is defined by R.C. 3319.325). The monitoring will include the following features: location tracking and student interactions with school-issued devices (e.g., keystrokes and web-browsing activity). The District generally monitors these features for the noncommercial education purpose of instruction, technical support, and/or exam proctoring. Additionally, these features are generally monitored as a necessary precaution for preventing and/or responding to threats to life or safety.
The playground committee has asked us to remind families that there is still one week left for students to sell stadium blankets for their fall fundraiser. The order form was sent home last week. Thank you for your support of our inclusive playground project!
Alexander Elementary School will be hosting our annual Veterans Day assembly at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, November 6, 2024. Students will bring home a flyer next week. This event is open to families.

Dear Families,
I want to take a moment to address the recent online threats that have been reported against Alexander and other schools in our area and across the state. We understand how concerning this can be for our community, and I want to assure you that the safety of our students is our top priority.
We are closely collaborating with the Athens County Sheriff's Department to investigate these threats thoroughly. They have determined that there is no credibility to the recent threats, but I want to emphasize that we take all threats seriously. Our district is committed to maintaining a safe environment for all students and staff.
We encourage you to talk to your children about the importance of reporting any suspicious activity or messages they may encounter. Together, we can help ensure a secure and supportive school atmosphere.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership as we navigate these challenges. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,
William Hampton
Superintendent
Alexander Local School District
