Good afternoon, and happy Friday!
This week seemed to fly by, and here we are concluding our second week of school. Before you know it, it will be time for fall clothing with winter close behind!
TAILGATING 2023
Last week the PTA hosted the high school’s annual tailgating event, which was a great success! This family-friendly event was well attended by our community and it seemed everyone was having a great time.
Our Rocket Football team pulled an upset win over the hot Alliance Aviators. Watch some of the highlights of the event, including interviews with staff, students, parents, and our own Streetsboro Board of Education members, here:
Thank you to the members of our PTA for their hard work hosting this fun event.
TELEHEALTH
Previously, I talked about the school-based health services our partners at Akron Children’s Medical Center offered. This year, the school-based health services are expanding.
This school year, Teresa Fletcher, APRN-CNP from Akron Children’s Medical Center, will be available for in-person care on the 1st Tuesday of every month and virtually EVERY SCHOOL DAY. She can provide well visits, immunizations, sports physicals, sick visits, and chronic disease (such as asthma) management. For virtual visit days, she uses special telehealth equipment.

In closing, I would like to encourage families to look at the district calendar of events. We have many upcoming events and athletic contests each week and our student athletes are quite talented! Attending one of the many sporting events throughout the district is a great way to spend time as a family as you cheer on our Rocket athletes to victory.
Have a safe and relaxing weekend and as always, Go Rockets!
Sincerely,
Mike Daulbaugh
Superintendent
