Princeton City Schools will operate on a two-hour delay today, Wednesday, January 22, 2025, due to transportation issues.
Kindergarten/Preschool: Kindergarten is compulsory attendance in Ohio; pre-kindergarten programs are not subject to compulsory attendance in Ohio. To ensure that all kindergarten students have equitable access to instructional time, the Princeton City School District will implement the following procedures during two-hour delays:
A.M. Kindergarten students will be transported to school following the two-hour delay schedule. These students will stay at school for the full day. Kindergarten students will be transported home following the afternoon/full-day dismissal schedule. Half-day students may participate in the school lunch program or bring lunch to eat in the cafeteria. Free and reduced lunch applications are available if you believe your family qualifies. Please e-mail Jean Sparks, Director of Food Service, at jsparks@vikingmail.org to obtain application material or contact the Princeton Food Service Department at 513-864-1023. Otherwise, the cost of a student lunch is $2.25.
*Please note: On a 2-hour delay, breakfast is not provided.
P.M. kindergarten and P.M. preschool students will have no change in the schedule during a two-hour delay.
A.M. preschool classes will be canceled during days with a two-hour delay.
Innovation Center: Students will still be expected to log in and work on their courses. If there is a two-hour delay, the Innovation Center will be closed, but students will be expected to log in and work from home. In case of Early Release, students will be transported to the main campus for their assigned bus back to the community at the amended time.
Extracurricular/Sports Activities:
Unless otherwise notified, district policies/guidelines will be followed for extracurricular activities/sports.
Extended Day Program: Champions through Kindercare Education currently operates the Princeton Extended Day Program. LHOI currently operates the Extended Day Program for Lincoln Heights Elementary. Below are specifics for parents currently participating in the Champions and LHOI programs.
Two-Hour Delay: The buildings will be open at 8:00 a.m. until the start of school (delayed time) at no additional charge. If we close after the delay is implemented, parents will be responsible for picking up and transporting their children to another location for the day within one hour of being notified. On a two-hour delay, breakfast is not available.
School Closing: If school is completely closed, the Champions and LHOI programs will close as well. Parents will be responsible for finding alternative childcare.
