In an effort to help out parents picking up siblings at more than one school, the district will now be offering an afternoon-only shuttle bus service from Northwood Intermediate to Emerson and Longfellow Primary. Service will begin Monday, November 4. Students taking advantage of the shuttle bus can either be picked up at the primary schools or may walk home with their siblings.

**UPDATE** Now open to ANY NORTHWOOD STUDENT going to the primary schools - A PARENT/GUARDIAN MUST COMPLETE THE FORM LINKED IN THE ARTICLE. Your child will not ride until they receive confirmation from the school. Shuttle service to those recently confirmed who do not have a sibling at either primary school will begin Monday, November 11.  

In 2018, the Ohio Department of Education introduced a new initiative to recognize high school students who show they are prepared to contribute to the workplace and their community. The OhioMeansJobs-Readiness Seal is a formal designation that students can earn on their high school diplomas and transcripts indicating they have the personal strengths, strong work ethic, and the professional experience that businesses need. 

Sidney High School Career-Based Intervention instructor, Mary Ellen Buechter, is proud to announce the Scott Family McDonald's and Sgt. Coey of the US Army will be co-sponsoring the OhioMeansJobs-Readiness Seal program for Sidney High School students and will be serving as mentors.  

Sidney High School Principal Denny Morrison is pleased to announce that Nobel Zhou has been named a Commended Student in the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented by the principal to this scholastically talented senior.
