Greetings from the Principal’s Office!

Welcome back to the 2010-2011 school year! I trust everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather we had this summer in Kent. I hope the kids are ready to focus on academics because the teachers and I are excited about the educational program that is provided at Longcoy School. The first day of school is Wednesday, August 25, for grades 1-5 and Friday, August 27, for kindergarten. Please be sure and join us for Supply Night on Tuesday, August 24, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. when your child can meet his/her teacher and put away all those school supplies.   Class lists will be posted on Friday, August 20, at 4:00 p.m. on the front doors of the school. If you are new to the area and need to register your child, please stop in the school office between the hours of 7:45 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. noting that the office is closed daily from 12:00 -1:00 p.m..

If I can be of any assistance as we start this school year please just give me a call at the school office (330) 676-8350 or email me at ke_jswan@kentschools.net or stop in the school office.  I am here to serve you and do everything I can to meet your child’s needs.

Longcoy Elementary School Supply List

Greetings and Happy Spring! As we wind down to the end of the school year, please be aware that learning is taking place at Longcoy right up until the very last day of school! The teachers will be assessing the students on year-end tests in reading, writing, and math. Students will bring home their report cards on the very last day of school which is June 4. Please continue to encourage your child to read and do their homework daily! Thank you for your continued support of the academic program offered here at Longcoy School.

Happy New Year!
The teachers and I look forward to having our students back at school in January!   Hopefully, everyone had a nice winter break and enjoyed the time with special friends and family members.  Please realize that we are now entering into the most intense academic time of the school year. Students will need to be focused on learning and responsible for completing classwork and homework.  January is a great time of year to nestle in with a good book and to practice math facts using flashcards and/or computer websites.    Enjoy the beauty of the winter season and the return to the routine of school life. 

Stay Warm!

Dear Longcoy Parents:

Greetings!  I hope you are enjoying the beautiful Fall that we are experiencing in Kent this year.  It is hard to believe that the first grading period has come to an end and that the reports cards will be going home on November 6th.  Please be sure to review your child’s academic progress and to contact his/her teacher if you have any concerns.   The Fall Parent-Teacher conferences are still a few weeks away (November 23 and 24) but the Longcoy staff is willing to meet with parents at anytime.  Students are in the process of completing their quarterly assessments in reading, writing, and math and the teachers will be monitoring closely student performance on these assessments.  We continue to base our instructional program on the Ohio Academic Content Standards and to differentiate our instruction based on our students’ skill levels.  We appreciate all that you do at home to support us here at school and we thank you for making school the number one priority in your child’s life!

Remember:  Students + Parents + Teachers = SUCCESS!
