Last Friday, the Eastern Concert Band went to compete at the District 17 OMEA Large Group Contest for the first time in over two decades. Despite many snow days, illnesses, and shortened classes from two hour delays, Eastern came home with a rating of II "Excellent", the second highest honor an ensemble can receive. Considering the band performed at a high school level with 42% of the band being in grades 7th & 8th, this is a massive accomplishment and is not an easy rating to receive. Congratulations Eastern Concert Band, and thank you to all parents, families, communtiy members, and supporters of our wonderful program!

Eastern Families,
As you know, this winter has brought us several snow days. In order to meet the number of instructional hours required by the State of Ohio, we are planning to make up four student days at the end of the school year.
Those days will be:
May 26th, 27th, 28th, and 29th
I also want to say this — when we make the decision to delay or cancel school, safety is always the first priority. Those decisions are never easy. There are a lot of early mornings — and sometimes sleepless nights — spent driving back roads, checking forecasts, and reviewing reports before making that call. We know cancellations impact families, and we don’t take that lightly, but we will always err on the side of keeping our kids and staff safe.
I would much rather have someone upset with me for canceling school than have one of our families or buses involved in an accident.
We chose to add these makeup days to the end of the year to stay consistent with the original calendar and to avoid disrupting spring plans, vacations, and summer activities as much as possible.
I know it has been a long, difficult winter, and we truly appreciate your flexibility and support. We’re looking forward to warmer weather and a strong finish to the school year.
If you have any questions, please reach out.
Thank you,
Nick Dettwiller
Superintendent, Eastern Local
