Important Reminders

*Please come out to support Kalida High School art students as well as other local high school artists at the Putnam County Arts Festival. Columbus Grove Schools are hosting the event this year. The Festival runs from 1:00 to 4:00 on Sunday, (March 8th). Some of the best student artwork from the county will be on display. County Band and Choir will also be performing at 2:00pm.
*Students grades 5-8: You are not allowed to be putting pencils/pens/whatever in the lock of your locker to make it not lock. Staff removed all the things on Friday after school and you were putting them back in first thing yesterday morning. This action is unacceptable and we will be looking your locker number up to find out who you are if it happens after today.
*Kalida Athletic Booster Chicken BBQ is Sunday March 8, starting at 11:00am.
*Washington D.C. class trip papers have been sent home to current 7th graders. Please return the commitment
form and first payment by March 20, 2026 if you plan on going.
*The spring testing schedule has been posted to the school’s website. Please avoid any appointments during your child’s testing times.
*Our next blood drive is scheduled for Thursday, 3/12/26, from 10am-3pm in the HS gym. Appointments are every 15-minutes. Every unit we collect helps us earn scholarship money for our graduating seniors. Also, during the month of March, all successful blood donations will receive free A1C testing, which is commonly used to screen for prediabetes and diabetes. A1C testing measures your average blood sugar over the past 3 months and no fasting is needed. Plus, you'll get a $15 Amazon.com Gift Card by email for donating. If you'd like to schedule an appointment, please let us know. 
*Congratulations to the boys’ basketball PCL awards. Owen Grime received 1st team, Jaxon Hoffman and Logan Kerner were honorable mention & the Scholar athlete is Logan Kerner.
