Upper Sandusky Exempted Village Schools

Attention High School Parents! The HS has been cleared by the Upper Sandusky Fire Department. But, since we have already evacuated please pick up your students up at the First Lutheran Church. You will need to come into the church to sign your students out so we are accounting for your students safety.

We provided lunch to those who wanted it.

Sentinel students were already out of the building - they will return to the HS at their normal time at approximately 3:15.

I will post a. more detailed briefing at the end of the day - after I have had a chance to discuss with the Fire Department and other officials.

For now, you just need to know that your students are safe and sound!

Thank you,

Mrs Waggy

Upper Sandusky high school is being dismissed early out of abundance of caution due to a gas leak in the science lab. Students who drove to school will be released to drive home and students taking the bus will be relocated to first Lutheran Church and we will be arranging transportation for them to get home. Parents of students riding the bus may also pick their child up at first Lutheran if they want to.

Good morning today is Thursday, December 4, 2025. Due to some icy roads and freezing drizzle this morning Upper Sandusky schools will be on a two hour delay.

USEVS have partnered with WCC to provide after-school programs for our students—HUB Kids (K–3rd grade) and The HUB (4th–9th grade). These programs offer a safe, supportive place for students to go after school. Please consider making a donation to help us continue offering these valuable services. Your support makes a real difference!

USHS students and staff spent the past five weeks reading a mystery novel together. The book "Truly Devious" features a two-part murder mystery set in the 1930s and the present day at a boarding school in Vermont. Today, students had the opportunity to have a question-and-answer session with the author, Maureen Johnson. She shared background about her novels and the writing process, along with tips for students who want to become writers. Students and staff also participated in a scavenger hunt for clues. Johnson donated signed copies of her novels, which were awarded from a raffle of students who attended the author talk or completed the scavenger hunt.
