March 16, 2020 Update on novel Coronavirus (COVID-19)

We continue to navigate through the rapidly changing situation with COVID-19.  


With the latest recommendations in mind, all of our facilities will be closed to visitors beginning tomorrow, Tuesday, March 17.  If you have a question, please email your building secretary or principal.  We are working to have the phones answered remotely, but this is not yet in place.  For now, the best method of contact is email.


As I mentioned Friday, and as Governor Mike DeWine reinforced over the weekend, we are planning as if students will be out of school for an extended period of time - possibly the remainder of the school year.  


With that in mind, here are our latest updates.


Lunch and breakfast service

Beginning Tuesday, March 24, we will provide boxed lunches (complete with a breakfast for the next day) to any school-aged child in need during school days. We’ll start out with the schedule below, but this could change as the situation develops.

  • Tremont Elementary School - 10:30 a.m. until 12:45 p.m.

  • Barrington Elementary School - 10:30 a.m. until 11:15 a.m.

  • Greensview Elementary School - 10:30 a.m. until 11:15 a.m.

  • Windermere Elementary School - noon until 12:45 p.m.

  • Wickliffe Progressive Elementary School - noon until 12:45 p.m.


Distance teaching and learning

Distance teaching and learning will begin on Monday, March 30.  More information will be shared later this week. Students will be able to access the needed tools and information online on any internet-connected device.   


Device and medication pick up

In the next few days, we will also provide information regarding device pick-up for families of students in kindergarten through grade 3 and pick-up of prescription medications for students in all grades.  Please keep in mind that device pick-up is optional - students will be able to access the needed tools and information online on any internet-connected device.   


I’d like to thank the City of Upper Arlington for their continued collaboration during these unprecedented times.  I’d also like to thank our amazing staff for their commitment to our students and community. Finally, I’d like to thank all of you for your continued patience and flexibility.  We are a strong community, and we will get through this together.
