Local Public Health Departments Recommend Universal Masking in K-12 Schools

As K-12 schools prepare to start the new school year, Mahoning County Public Health, Youngstown City Health District, Columbiana County Health District, Trumbull County Combined Health District, and Warren City Health District support full in-person learning.

To facilitate and maximize keeping our students safe in the classroom, while also minimizing the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19, these health departments strongly recommend schools follow CDC guidance and adopt universal masking policies for all students, teachers, and staff regardless of their vaccination status.

Moreover, we are urging all parents to send their children to school properly wearing a facemask, covering the nose and the mouth, especially in situations where a school district has not adopted a universal mask policy.

WCSD Recognizes Students at School Board Meeting

District leaders recognized several students during the July 20 Warren City School Board of Education meeting.

Anthony Payiavlas, who is going into his senior year at Warren G. Harding High School, was recognized for his participation in the state tennis tournament this year.

Anthony, a junior in Division I, was one of two singles players from Trumbull County to join the field of 16 participating in the 101st Boys State Tennis Tournament.

The tournament was held in May at the Linder Family Tennis Center in Mason, Ohio.

The district also congratulated PK-8 school students Emma Cowger Segura and Jeremiah Hicks, who participated and came away as winners of the drawing through TNP’s United Fresh Start Voucher Program. 

‘Summer Bridge’ Helps Students Transition

Blowing bubbles. Making ice cream. Digging for fossils. Using a banana as a battery to power an LED light.

Warren City Schools students have been involved in all of these activities and more as part of the district’s Summer Bridge Learning Opportunity.

These might not seem like routine class assignments. But Summer Bridge is giving students fun and creative hands-on activities designed to help them learn.

In any of the classrooms inside Warren’s five school buildings, students are reading, writing, using manipulatives, and engaging in conversations centered around applying what they are learning.

These activities and more are part of Warren City Schools’ efforts to provide students with learning opportunities as they transition from one grade to the next. Reading and writing have been incorporated into every lesson.

“The goal of the program is not only to reflect on learning of this past year but also to propel students into what comes next so they are better prepared this coming school year,” explained Suzette Jackson, assistant curriculum director, Warren City Schools grades 6-12.

The Summer Bridge program kicked off June 7 at Warren’s four PK-8 schools and Warren G. Harding High School – running Mondays through Thursdays – and continues through June 25 for the high school and June 29 for the PK-8 schools.

The program provides students with opportunities to participate in engaging lessons that promote critical thinking while collaborating with their peers, explained Jackson. Warren staff developed lessons that include hands-on activities aligned to Ohio’s Learning Standards in every core content for every grade level.
