2020-2021 School Year Restart Guidelines

New Bremen Local School District plans to begin the 2020-2021 school year on Tuesday, September 8th with on-site instruction for all students 5 days a week. Linked below are two documents containing county and local school operation guidelines. The guidelines allow for flexibility to meet the varying academic needs of K-12 students in all subject matters.
 
Next week, a parent survey will be posted on the district website to gather data from parents to assist school personnel in the planning process. We highly encourage parents to participate in the survey so that we have accurate data. A OneCall Now message will be made once the survey has been posted to notify parents. New Bremen School staff will continue to further refine and adjust our operation plans over the next two months based on the latest data.
 
If you have any questions, please contact Superintendent Jason Schrader at jason.schrader@newbremenschools.org
 
Remote Learning Extended Until At Least May 1st
Governor Mike DeWine extended K-12 school closures until at least May 1st. New Bremen Schools will continue to provide remote learning during this period of time. Teachers are currently in the process of planning lessons for students that may include online, paper-pencil, or a combination depending on the student’s accessibility to technology.
K-6 Assignment Pickup Dates/Times
Teachers have been busy preparing assignments for your children to work on over the next few weeks. For students in grades K-6, assignment packets can be picked up from the elementary office on Thursday, April 2nd from 3:00PM - 7:00PM or Friday, April 3rd from 9:00AM – 2:00PM. Assignments will be issued in a manner supporting physical distancing.
 
If you are unable to pick up assignments during these scheduled times, please call the elementary office to make other arrangements.
Ohio's Stay At Home Order
The Ohio Department of Health issued a Stay at Home Order for non-essential travel on Sunday. The Order does allow for educational travel to maintain remote education operations and meals for eligible students. The District plans to continue providing remote education and meal services unless directed otherwise by State or local agencies.

Therefore, the drop box and material exchange set-up at the high school and elementary will continue to be open. We will be cleaning the drop-off areas multiple times per day and encourage you to use the hand sanitizer we have provided at each location. If you are  not comfortable with dropping materials off you may scan or take a picture of the materials and email them directly to the teacher.

If you have any questions regarding District operations, please feel free to email us using the question box below.
Parents of students receiving school-based physical and occupational therapy services
New Bremen Local Schools wants to make sure your child is receiving the necessary therapy and special services to meet his/her ongoing educational needs during this closure of schools. In order to continue to provide as much support as possible to you and your student during this very unusual time, we are going to offer virtual therapy sessions on-line. Therapy staff will be reaching out to families to obtain consent for such services and to receive and share the necessary information for setting up the virtual on-line sessions. We look forward to talking to you and interacting with your student! Be safe and stay healthy! The therapy staff from the Community Sports and Therapy Center

Initial Press Release on Remote Learning

The following information was our initial press release for school closure and remote learning

 
On March 12, 2020, Governor Mike DeWine ordered all K-12 schools in Ohio closed for three weeks to help slow down the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19). As a result, New Bremen Schools will be closed beginning Tuesday, March 17, 2020 through at least Friday, April 3, 2020. This is an unprecedented move by the governor but one the district has been planning for throughout the week.
 
Part of our responsibility is to continue the education of our students when school is cancelled for an extended period of time beyond our traditional calamity and make-up days. The intention for contiuing education is not to burden students and parents with additional responsibilities but rather practice skills students are capable of demostrating so that they retain academic knowledge. What this looks like depends on the age/grade level and types of courses each student is taking this semester. Possible lessons assigned by your child's teacher may include online, paper-pencil, or a combination, depending on the student's accessibility to technology. Teachers will be communicating with students and parents on ways we can all help to preserve the continuity of education during the school closure.
 
Please understand that we are constantly receiving new information and we will continue to work out many details regarding the school closure. Our number one responsibility is the safety of our students and community.
 
We are working with our local and state health departments, and using the information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as our guidance.
 
We will keep you up to date through our OneCall Now notification system and by posting information on this website and our social media platforms. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
What's Cancelled?
We are posting, to this page, all the events, including athletic events, that we are cancelling. You can find this list of cancellations on this page, but you may need to scroll up or down (depending on the device you are using) to find it.
