I just wanted to update the community regarding the bomb threat that we received this morning. After a thorough investigation by the Upper Sandusky Police Department in conjunction with the Allen County bomb squad it has been determined that the threat was a hoax. All buildings have been checked by law-enforcement and are deemed safe. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our law-enforcement partners for their quick response and leadership regarding this incident. Safety will always be our number one priority. Thank you for your patience and support of our schools. We look forward to seeing students back tomorrow. Eric Landversicht

Good morning Upper Sandusky community. Early this morning a staff member received an anonymous bomb threat. Our law-enforcement partners were contacted immediately and our emergency plan was put into place. We take these types of situations very seriously, The safety of our students, staff and community is the priority. To make sure every building is safe the decision was made to close school so law-enforcement can check every single building to ensure that no danger exists. We are working closely with the Upper Sandusky Police Department as they investigate the incident. I appreciate your patience and support of our schools. Eric Landversicht

Missed a couple of Positive Office Referrals from before Thanksgiving and want to make sure we recognize the following students for showing the characteristics outlined in our Portrait of a Ram. Mason shows how to Communicate Effectively each day at both USHS and Sentinel. Mersadie showed Responsibility in helping clean up a mess she didn't make, Max showed Responsibility by staying on task, even when others did not, Carter shows Responsibility by always being prepared for class, and Aysia shows Responsibility by improving her work ethic in class. Mari showed the ability to Adapt and Grow by overcoming her own bad day to help others in her class.

We had several students show characteristics aligning to our Portrait of a Ram recently and want to make sure to recognize them. Tyler, Oswaldo, Anthony, and Giselle were recognized for their Responsibility in helping the CPR instructor pack up and load materials after each class. Jaxtyn and Bailey showed Integrity for helping a teacher clean and sanitize desks. Blaine and Gavin also showed Integrity in the way they help other students.

Congratulations to our November Staff of the Month. This month's classified winner is Lauren Bush, nominated for her tireless efforts in the kitchen, specifically giving up her own time to participate in things for our students and school.

Don't forget to make it out to The Barn tonight for the Lady Rams Basketball team's home opener against Colonel Crawford. JV tip is at 6:00 PM.

ATTENTION: The third installment of the "All Heart Athlete of the Month" voting is now open to Ram Nation. The USHS Athletic Department is once again excited and proud to announce this very special recognition for our amazing student-athletes. The All-Heart Athlete of the Month is a great way to show some love and recognition for our student-athletes and what they do on and off the field of play. The way this will work is that every month, students at USHS will get the chance to nominate a student-athlete that they feel embodies all of the elements of the AHAOTM. Those elements include Hard work, Enthusiasm, Ambition, Responsibility, and Thoughtfulness. These elements are further described in the documents tab of our district website for your reference. Once the students have made their nominations, the field is narrowed down to the top three by vote of the staff at USHS. These top three male and female athletes are then sent to you, Ram Nation, for your vote. You can vote for one male and female student-athletes using the Google Form attached to this post. The final tally will result in who is crowned the All-Heart Athlete of the Month. If you have any questions about this process please contact the USHS Athletic Department and we will be happy to assist you. The voting will end on Wednesday, December 4th at midnight so please get your votes in by that deadline. Thanks in advance for your participation in this special recognition.
