Today at 9:30 a.m. we performed a Hold drill throughout campus. The drill was released at 9:34 a.m. A Hold drill is when we hold students and staff in classrooms or areas and continue to teach. This action is used when we need hallways clear due to a possible medical event or even a construction issue. There is little to no disruption to classes. All went smoothly during our drill today.
A message from Ms. Morgan - I wanted to share some neat news from the trap contest on Saturday in Orville. Our team placed 3rd overall and Byron Collier was the 2nd highest shooting individual. We had some issues with the score keeper missing some of our hits and when Rozlyn and I went to let them know about it they gave us the option to contest it or not. Rozlyn did not want to contest it as they were having a lot of technical issues with the equipment and scorekeepers calling misses. Needless to say things were not running smoothly. Her and I decided to just roll with it and make sure they were aware of the issue for the next teams to shoot. Fast forward about an hour or so as we waited for results and one of the Advisors from Orville tells me that the trap club held a quick board meeting and wanted to award Rozlyn a medallion for her great sportsmanship. They appreciated that she was understanding of the mistake and kindly brought it to their attention. Our kids are pretty awesome.
All in all it was a 21- hour day and our kids showed up did well and even were recognized for good sportsmanship. I think this is pretty cool and wanted to share 😁
Happy Monday everyone!

Kids Summer Lunch Update: A location change has been announced for the Kids Summer Lunch program. Beginning Monday, July 8, all lunches will be served in the children's section (downstairs) of the library. This change is possible due to the library now being fully staffed. Further, this change offers some important improvements, including:
- a consistent lunch location, familiar to the kids
- consistent staffing, also familiar to the kids
- a closer tie-in to the events and activities of the Summer Reading Program
All lunches continue to be provided at no charge to the kids, funded by Friends of the Dayton Memorial Library. The meals are prepared by and purchased from the kitchen of Columbia County Health System (Dayton General Hospital).
The Dayton School District will consider the adoption of the following at the second board meeting in July.
U.S. History, American Stories, Beginnings to 1877 for 8th grade U.S. History. 2025 updated edition.
The book will be available for review at the Dayton School District for two weeks beginning June 20th, 2004.
Thanks,

A message from our MS/HS Principal, Mrs. Joyce -
Dear Parents,
In today's digital age, ensuring our students navigate the online world safely is important. During the first 2 advisory sessions in May we are teaching Internet Safety Lessons. These lessons aim to equip students with some basic skills and knowledge to help them stay safe while exploring the internet.
To provide families with a credible resource and continue the discussion about digital safety at home, I reached out to The White Hatter, social media safety & digital literacy presenters from Canada and they shared their e-book...a FREE web book for parents with 26 chapters that covers everything parents and caregivers need to know raising their kids in today's online world. Please share this link as you see fit https://thewhitehatter.ca/online-parenting-book/
Also, GoGuardian is available for parents to monitor their student's online access via their school issued Chromebook. Parents can request access via this link: Request my Go Guardian Parent (or contact Mr. Phillips). Access allows parents to view a list of the top 5 Top visited domains, GSuite Files, YouTube videos, Google Searches, installed Chrome Apps/Extensions, and a count of how many times Teachers using GoGuardian Teacher have guided the student's browsing behavior.
Thank you,
Guin Joyce
Principal, Dayton MS/HS
