The entire Newton Falls Exempted Village School District was devastated by the recent tragedy that befell the Tuscarawas Valley High School. Many were looking for ways to help. If you are interested in donating to help those affected, you can donate in two ways:

There is a benefit fund set up through First Federal Community Banks. Make checks payable to TVSTRONG and deliver them to First Federal Bank Locations.

There is also the Trojan Foundation, a non-profit with the mission to enhance educational opportunities for Tusky Valley students during their time in the school system and to promote post-secondary opportunities through scholarships. You can donate to the Trojan Foundation at this link.

Send A Note to School

If a parent must pick up a child early for a doctor's appointment, etc., the parent must send a note stating the reason and time the child will need to leave school. The parent must come to the main office to sign out the child. A child will not be called to the office until the parent arrives. If someone other than the parent is to pick up the child, the name of the designated person must be written on the student emergency enrollment card. Pictured identification may be required. Please include a phone number where you can be reached for verification.
