Shoutout to the Marching Wildcats for their performance at the Miami University football game today!
Hello Wildcat Families,
In an effort to make staying connected easier and more predictable for every family in our district, we're aligning the release of the Elementary and Middle/High school newsletters.
Beginning today, both the Elementary and Middle/High will publish and send their newsletters together on a synchronized schedule. We are making this change so that you will know exactly when to expect school updates, making it easier to plan and stay informed. If you have children in both schools, you will no longer have to track down updates sent on different days or through competing channels. Both newsletters will be delivered to your inbox every other Tuesday.
While the publishing rhythm is shared, each newsletter will continue to highlight the specific events, academic updates, and celebrations unique to each of our schools. Both newsletters are linked below.
We appreciate your continued partnership!

Congratulations to Kase C. and Easton S. on an outstanding performance at the Bassmaster Junior National Championship at Kentucky Lake!
Competing against 115 of the best junior bass fishing teams from 35 states and Canada, Kase and Easton finished an impressive 6th in the nation with 20 pounds 8 ounces. Beyond their success on the water, these young anglers embraced every part of the national championship experience—from interviews and media coverage to appearing on the Bassmaster stage in front of hundreds of spectators. We are proud of these Wildcats!
A special thank you goes to Mr. Aaron Stahley, Williamsburg teacher and boat captain, for his mentorship, guidance, and dedication in helping these student-athletes achieve their goals.
