Welcome Back Bexley
Thank you to our staff, students, and community for a successful start to the school year. We can’t wait to see what our students accomplish this year!
Dr. Fine Reads to Elementary Classes
Dr. Fine stopped by a few elementary classes this week to read “Mr. Fine, Porcupine” by Fanny Joly.

It's the perfect story about showing up as you are!

Our students were wonderful listeners, and Dr. Fine loved reading to the classes!
District News
Breakfast and Lunch are Free for All Students
Every student in our district will receive breakfast and lunch at no cost this school year. There is no sign-up necessary, all students are automatically eligible. The only items that students will need to pay for are a la carte purchases. Every meal made by our Food Services Department provides quality nutrition essential for academic and student success. For more information on the Food Services Department, including menus and how to set up your PaySchools Central, visit https://www.bexleyschools.org/FoodServices.aspx.
MiFi Hotspots
We're asking families who have secured dedicated internet access in the home that were previously provided a Mobile Hotspot (MiFi) during remote and hybrid learning to return these hotspots to us so we can provide them to other families.

If the provided hotspot is still your primary access to the Internet, you can continue to use them, however we would suggest to families to complete this form to see if additional opportunities are available for dedicated in-home broadband.
A Call for Substitutes
With the start of the new school year, we would like to encourage interested and qualified individuals to consider being substitute teacher or staff member.

Any substitute teachers currently subbing through the Educational Service Center (ESCCO), can email substitute@escco.org to request to be a substitute at Bexley City Schools.

If you are not a current sub teacher through the ESCCO, you can easily apply to become one! You need to hold a Bachelor's degree or higher in any subject and complete the application process through the ESCCO. The application and the four steps to becoming a substitute can be found here: https://www.escco.org/Stepstobecomeasubstitute.aspx

We are also looking for classified substitutes (custodians, cooks, secretaries, etc.). If you are interested in becoming a substitute for one of these positions, please email Karla Croswell (karla.croswell@bexley.us) or call the district office (614-231-7611).
Athletics News
Bexley Athletics Transitioning to Online Tickets
Beginning Monday, August 30, 2021, Bexley Athletics will be moving to digital tickets for Lions sporting events.

We have partnered with HomeTown Ticketing, the leading digital ticketing platform for high schools in the U.S. The OHSAA and most members of our league have moved to HomeTown ticketing for sporting events, so this move aligns with other schools in our area. Online tickets also reduce the exchange of money and create a faster entry experience for attendees.

To assist with this transition, beginning Monday, August 30, through Thursday, September 2, tickets may be purchased digitally or via cash sale at the venue. Beginning Friday, September 3, we will no longer sell cash tickets and be completely digital.
