***Important School Safety Announcement***

Each year the State of Ohio requires all schools to update and submit to the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) an Emergency Operation Plan. This year the ODE has created the Safer Ohio School Tip Line (844-723-3764). All Ohio schools are required to share this information with parents, students and faculty. Information about the official ODE tip line can be found on page 41 of the Revised CWS Family Handbook (Sept. 2024 Version). Please review so that you are familiar. 

 

Additionally, students, faculty and parents can find a poster hanging in the CWS front office with the tip line phone number as well.
