The Emerson Primary school year will end early on Monday, May 13. Emerson will be replacing classroom flooring this summer; it is a big project. Ending the school year a couple of days early will give Emerson staff enough time to pack up their classrooms, which will allow the flooring project to get started with enough time to finish before school starts again. Emerson Primary families have been previously notified and will receive reminders as the end of the year nears.
All other schools will end as scheduled on Wednesday, May 15.

Sidney City Schools is committed to the safety and well-being of our students and school community. That’s why we continue to take important steps to enhance personal safety for our students and staff and provide a positive learning environment for all students.
Our district continues to use the Stay Safe. Speak Up! Student Safety Reporting System (powered by PublicSchoolWORKS). Stay Safe. Speak Up! is a comprehensive reporting tool that allows students, parents, and staff to submit safety concerns to school officials.
Concerns can be submitted in three ways:
-
Mobile App. Download the Stay Safe. Speak Up! mobile app and enter our unique District Code to submit reports directly from your smartphone. District Code: SIDNEY
Find the app in the App Store or the Google Play Store by searching "Stay Safe Speak Up." -
Phone. Call 1-866-547-8362 to leave a voice message or speak with a trained, live attendant. Attendants can initiate contact with various national crisis hotlines if a student needs help in dealing with a personal emergency.
-
Online. Click on the STAY SAFE. SPEAK UP! button (siren icon) on the homepage of every school website on SidneyCitySchools.org to access the online form from a desktop computer or laptop. You can also find this link in various accessible places on the website. You can also use the search tool by clicking on the magnifying glass in the Menu and searching "Stay Safe. Speak Up!"
Students, staff, and families can easily report tips on bullying, harassment, drugs, weapons, thoughts of suicide, or any other concern that may jeopardize the safety of students, employees, or school property.
