School Rules

In order to ensure that all of our students experience a nurturing and safe
environment, we have established an umbrella of three basic expectations: Be
Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Ready. In addition, students are expected to:

 Show respect to one another at all times.
 Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.
 Follow directions the first time they are given.
 Do nothing to hurt another person physically or verbally.
 Walk in the hallways and to and from busses.

These rules apply at school, at school events, and while riding the transportation
system to and from school.

Consequences for misbehavior may include the following:
 Conference with the student/parent
 Removal of privileges
 Time-out in the office
 Community service (in school)
 In-school suspension
 Out-of-school suspension
 Expulsion

Speed Limit

All drivers should limit their speed to 10 M.P.H. on Ellsworth Hill property for the
safety of the students.

Testing and Assessment

The state of Ohio requires all students in grades 3-8 to take assessments in
reading and math (annually) and science and social studies (in identified grade
levels). Ohio’s assessments are developed by Ohio educators and a research
firm AIR. Ohio has been using AIR for over fifteen years.
As with every other Ohio school district we must follow the state requirements
in regards to assessment. There has been much discussion in Columbus and
Washington DC regarding testing. Any changes will communicated to families on
the District website and other modes of communication. The following are the
subject areas tested in each grade level:
