A Note from the Principal
From the Principal's Desk:
Our school year is in full swing and it has been an excellent start of the academic year. As you know, high school students are becoming more independent and self sufficient, but they still need direction, guidance and support from all of us, especially their parents. I want you to know that we are partners with you throughout their high school journey. It was evidenced last evening at our Open House/Curriculum Night. Here are some specific things you can do to help your student get the school year off to a great start.
- Make sure your child has the necessary supplies that they need to be successful. If you need anything, just call the school and we will help.
- Provide a place to study that is quiet, well-lit, and comfortable (but not too comfortable).
- Insist on good attendance, this is the #1 school success factor!
- Develop good routines, getting up on time, eating a good breakfast and getting to bed at a reasonable time.
- Monitor technology use, being aware of how, and for what purposes your child is using his/her cell phone and computer.
- Setting academic goals to help your child understand what your expectations are and to give your child something specific to work towards.
- Encourage a healthy lifestyle. They are very busy, it is important that high school students eat right, exercise, and get enough sleep.
- Emphasize the importance of education, as nothing will affect your child's opportunities in life more than an education. Make education a top priority in your home.
- Communicate with your child and the school. We truly are partners with you and will help in any way we can to make this school year the best ever.
Thank you for all you do to help make Delaware Hayes High School such a wonderful place to be!
Health News:
Ohio Law requires that all students enrolled in the Twelfth Grade have a Meningitis (Menactra) vaccine. The state requires 2 Meningitis vaccines or one if it was given after the 16th birthday.
If your child does not provide this documentation to the school by Wednesday, September 13th, he or she will be excluded from extracurricular activities such as drama or musical productions, sports teams, any clubs and the Homecoming Dance.
If your student has not yet received these shots please schedule to have that done as soon as possible. You can check the Delaware General Health District website at Delawarehealth.org to see the schedule of vaccination clinics, or call them at (740) 368-1700 to make an appointment. If you choose not to have your child vaccinated please sign the enclosed waiver form and return it to the school as soon as possible.
Please call Shasta McKee, Hayes Clinic Nurse at 740-833-1019 with any questions you may have.
- Dr. Ric J. Stranges, Principal
