Welcome to the 2011 - 2012 school year! It is the beginning of a fresh start for the students and staff of Celina City Schools. We are proud of our school system and what we accomplish in our classrooms and in our extra-curricular programs. Moving forward, we must concentrate on the processes that spur continuing advancement: evaluating what we have, determining what we can do to improve, and identifying what we need to make those improvements.

            Celina Schools will once again issue the school calendar to Celina residents. Please utilize this calendar as a guide for the school year. Please understand that variations in the calendar can and will occur. Updates will be sent out through your child’s school. Changes can also be accessed through the Celina City Schools’ website: http://www.celinaschools.org/. Another great communication tool for our district has been the creation of our Facebook site. “Like” Celina Schools on Facebook for the latest information on your school district.

            We provide our students and families an automatic notification system. Our system is called Leader Alert and it will instantly notify you of important school news and events through a phone call, text message, or an email. For example, you can be notified via a recorded phone message when we delay or cancel school due to bad weather. This call will come to you in a matter of minutes after the decision to delay or close has been decided. To enroll in Leader Alert, access the website www.leaderalert.com/miller and you will receive these notifications. Aside from delay and closing information, other important messages from the district and your child’s school can also be handled with Leader Alert. All of these messages can be sent to your home, business, and/or cell phone numbers.  

            Our programs are successful because our schools and our community have a common goal – to do what is best for students. Last year Celina Schools was ranked Excellent with Distinction by the Ohio Department of Education. We’re looking forward to be ranked as high this school year as well! As a school system, we are always looking for ways to achieve this goal and invite you to be a part of this process. If at any time you have questions, comments, or concerns about your school district, please call me at 419-586-8300 ext. 1002 or if you prefer, feel free to email me at matt.miller@celinaschools.org.

            Thank you for your trust in Celina City Schools,
