Summer days off are a great time to schedule immunizations. Here’s a reminder of what’s required by grade level…
REMINDER: With the expiration of the federal waiver, Licking R-VIII School District will no longer be able to provide free meals for all students. We strongly encourage all families who may be eligible to apply for the free and reduced meals program at registration in August!
Tomorrow is the last day of summer school, but there’s plenty of fun left!
