Now in its fourth year of development and being released statewide for the third time, the Quality Profile is sponsored by the Alliance for High Quality Education, a statewide education consortium that works to improve educational opportunities for students and to represent member districts on matters of educational policy and funding.

Warrior Families and Friends,

This week, Goshen Local Schools, in a conjunction with approximately 70 school districts in Ohio, released a report designed to inform our parents and communities about the school district.   Called the “Quality Profile”, the report includes the many accountability measures that define a high-quality education but are not necessarily captured by the State report card or other statistical measures.

This Quality Profile helps to evaluate the effectiveness of a school district beyond standardized testing measures. We believe that a quality school district is the sum of the many, many services it strives to provide for our students and community.  The Quality Profile details Goshen's efforts in categories including academics, arts, student leadership and activities, fiscal stewardship, parent and community involvement, and student services.

We are proud of the accomplishments of our students, staff, school and community!  Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education.

Dear Parents,

At Goshen Local Schools, we believe that student health and safety is our number one responsibility. In our nation today, adults and children are often tempted by the lure of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs.  As a supporter of our community and families, our district believes it is important to provide resources for families as you support your children growing up in this world. It is sometimes very difficult to have those discussions with your children, but the research shows that young people that hear anti-drug messages from their parents, guardians, and teachers are 50% less likely to use them.

I would like to take a few moments to introduce to you a program released by the Ohio Department of Education and Governor John Kasich called Start Talking!. Start Talking! is an approach to arming parents, teachers, guardians, and students with information and resources that can help our young people in society resist the temptations of alcohol, drugs, and tobacco. One important resource that you can use as a parent are guides that are called Know Parent Tips that come out twice a month. These guides are free and they will help you keep up an ongoing conversation with your child about avoiding drugs. When you sign up, these guides come to you in an email twice a month. If you are interested in signing up, please visit http://StartTalking.Ohio.Gov .

Here is a sample Start Talking!  parent tip that was emailed previously: https://www.drugfreeactionalliance.org/files/know-pt-april2.pdf  

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact your child’s principal. Once again, we want to thank you for entrusting your child’s education to our schools.
