No School- Solar Eclipse
In line with the recommendations from the Portage County Emergency Management Agency, we have decided to declare a calamity day on April 8th. This decision is rooted in our commitment to ensuring the safety of our students and staff, particularly during transportation, as buses will be operating during the eclipse, and there's an expected increase in local traffic.
To accommodate this precautionary measure, all after-school events scheduled for that evening will be rescheduled. We appreciate your understanding as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff during this extraordinary event.
This solar eclipse holds special significance. These occurrences are extremely rare in Ohio. The last total solar eclipse visible in Ohio was in 1806, making this upcoming event an exceptionally unique and infrequent phenomenon for our region. The next total solar eclipse visible in Ohio is projected to occur on September 14, 2099, underscoring the extraordinary rarity of this event.
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon casts its shadow on the Earth as it passes between the Earth and the Sun. A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon appears to totally obscure the Sun.
To make the most of this historic occurrence, we encourage families to engage in a series of activities at home during the eclipse. Here are some suggestions:
Solar Eclipse Viewing: Safely observe the eclipse using certified solar viewing glasses.
Create a DIY Pinhole Projector: A simple and safe way to project the eclipse onto a surface (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLODPPFsZdA)
Stargazing Party: Take advantage of the darkened skies and explore the stars with your family.
Educational Eclipse Activities: Research and engage in age-appropriate learning activities related to solar eclipses.
Please take note of the following precautions:
Eye Protection: Always use certified solar viewing glasses to protect your eyes when observing the eclipse.
Traffic Safety: If you must travel, be cautious of increased traffic and allow extra time for your journey.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we navigate this unique situation. The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority.
As always, please contact me, Office (330.527.4336) Cell (216.534.7413) or email (tlysiak@jagschools.org) if you have any questions.
Have a great day!
Go G-Men!

MVP Meeting - Room 27
Please come and learn about how our MVPs support our Middle School students. The are purely a volunteer parent group that assist in the needs of our Middle School kids and teachers. Last year they supported the 7th Grade field trip to the Goodtime III, helped put on our Winter Social and supplied a greenhouse for Mrs. Law's Gmen time gardening club. They also provide meals for our staff during conferences and special treats of appreciation throughout the school year. You can learn how you can help in fundraising or volunteering at the meeting. The meeting is held in room 27 in the Middle School which is directly behind the office. Call 330-527-2151 with any questions. Hope to see you there!
