DUE TO COVID-19 SIDNEY CITY SCHOOLS WILL NOT BE HOLDING KINDERGARTEN SCREENING. Those eligible for kindergarten should call Longfellow or Emerson to begin the process and be guided to online registration. If you are interested in open enrolling to Sidney City Schools, please call the Board of Education Office at 937-497-2200. Children must be five years of age on or before August 1, 2020, to enroll in the Sidney City Schools kindergarten program. 

Sidney City Schools Board of Education met Monday, May 18, 2020, for their regular monthly meeting. They voted to non-renew the contracts of 68 instructional aides due to a reduction in force, in addition to five IT employees for the same reason. 

The reduction in force of staff was impacted by three major factors - the district is and has been trying to reduce deficit spending, the emergency operating levy that was on the March 17 Primary ballot did not pass, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional cuts are being discussed as part of a layered approach to curbing deficit spending. 

 There’s a need in Sidney City Schools that is being addressed, according to school superintendent, Bob Humble. “In order for kids to achieve and succeed, they’ve got to be in school,” says Humble. “And one of the biggest barriers is not having quick access to medical care. Students are missing out on valuable learning time because of it and we want to change that.”

Sidney City Schools, in collaboration with Wilson Health, is pleased to open a school-based clinic to serve students, staff, and the community at large. 

Sidney City Schools will continue to offer an afternoon-only shuttle bus service from Northwood Intermediate to Emerson and Longfellow Primary for the 2020-2021 school year. Service will begin at the start of the school year. Students taking advantage of the shuttle bus can either be picked up at the primary schools or may walk home with their siblings.

This service is 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.
