Message from Principal Oakes

It was great to have students back in the building! It has been an excellent start to the school year. I have already seen our students engaged in their learning and teachers presenting excellent lessons. During class meetings on Wednesday we discussed the following with all students:

  • The 3R's @ THS- We are.... Respectful, Responsible, and Resourceful.
  • What it means to be Relentless, Chase 100, and Stack Days.
  • What is your why?

These are all important aspects of THS that help build a positive school culture where all students succeed. I would encourage you to ask your student about these discussion points and reinforce them at home.

I hope everyone has a great first full week of school! Go Arrows!

School News and Updates

Yondr Update
  • Students will receive their Yondr Pouch on September 4. We will begin using them on Monday, September 8, 2025.

  • What are the expectations for students:

  1. Per Ohio Law all devices used for personal communication should be placed in the Yondr Pouch- phone, smartwatch, airbuds/airpods.
  2. Students will place these items into their pouch during Pride Period and lock their pouches.
  3. At the end of the day students will pass by magnets strategically placed at exits where they will unlock their pouch, remove items, and lock the pouch until the next day.

  • What if my student has a medical condition requiring the use of their phone?

  1. Students with medical conditions will receive a medical Yondr that allows them to access their phones for brief periods during the school day.
  2. Students with medical conditions they believe require use of their cell phone will need to submit required paperwork that includes a doctors signature.

  • What if my student forgets their Yondr Pouch?

  1. Pride teachers will send them to the office to turn their devices in and they will pick them up at the end of the day.

  • What if my student leaves school without unlocking their Yondr Pouch

  1. There will be a Yondr magnet located on the outside of the building that they can use after school hours.
