The Versailles School District extends its heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Deb Tyo upon her retirement after thirty-five years of dedicated service to our district and community.
Throughout her distinguished career, Mrs. Tyo has demonstrated unwavering commitment to educational excellence and has positively influenced the lives of countless students. Her contributions to our academic community have been invaluable, and her legacy will continue to benefit future generations.
Versailles Middle School and district recognize Mrs. Tyo's exceptional service, and we wish her continued happiness and fulfillment in her well-deserved retirement!
Good Monday Morning Tigers.
This is Superintendent Dave Harmon with a message that serves two purposes. First, we are in the process of transitioning from our previous "all-call" system to a new one that is built right into the Versailles app and website portal. It isn't a huge amount of money, but this is a savings to the district both in dollars and in efficiency by streamlining processes. So the first part of this message is simply a test of the new "all-call" system.
Secondly, while I am communicating with you, I feel compelled to share with you something that the district did not seek out, but we expect to be impacted by.
It is very likely that in the biennial budget, which will be approved and signed by the Governor in about 10 days or so, all Ohio schools will be forced to adopt a Board of Education Policy completely banning cell phones from school. Our Board, upon my recommendation based upon my belief in Local Control and the Board leadership that you have elected to represent the best interests of our specific school system, previously had adopted a policy that left it up to the administration and individual teachers to allow or not allow cell phones on a case by case, teacher by teacher, and classroom by classroom basis.
I share this information because I wanted you to be aware of it. We will comply with the requirement to adopt such a policy if it is, in fact, included in the budget as expected. I wanted to give you as much of a head's up as possible to talk with your students about this expected change.
We are so glad to hear that our 8th graders had a successful Washington D.C. trip! Here are a couple of students with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor!
Good evening,
This is Superintendent Dave Harmon with an important message regarding student enrollment in their next grade level. We hope you've had a wonderful first week away from school and are already making great summer memories!
This message is for all Versailles parents/guardians. Final Forms has officially rolled over into the 2025-2026 school year. You may begin updating and signing off on all forms starting tomorrow, Friday, June 6, 2025. It is incredibly helpful and important to us in our work over the summer months. It is critically important for bus routing plans. Specifically, transportation forms MUST be updated by July 18th at the latest. Additionally, the Transportation forms must be completed for every single K-12 student, regardless of whether you utilize district-provided transportation.
We suggest that you use a desktop computer rather than a phone or tablet for the sake of readability and compatibility as you update and complete any forms. Anyone who submits a change of address in Final Forms must follow up with new proof of residency at the new address that they entered. The newly updated Student Handbook and the updated Chromebook agreement are in the Final Forms portal. Please read them carefully for any new and updated rules, procedures, and policies. If you have any questions, please contact the Board office at 937-526-4773.
Thank you very much. Have a wonderful evening! Go Tigers!
Have a safe trip to Washington D.C., 8th graders!
Thank you, Mrs. Gehret, for your years of service as a middle school aide! Though we will see you around driving the school bus, you'll be missed in the classroom! Thank you for all you've done for the students and staff!
The 8th graders created videos in which they sold a vocabulary word in some way. After all the videos were created, they watched them and voted on which videos were the best via a bracket. In the end, the word BELITTLE won, which was created by Dillon H and Levi D. Check out their video by clicking: https://www.canva.com/design/DAGmNHzG-OQ/yidm7_CFtdCr1cKBaL4JqQ/watch
Congratulations to Sophia Von Duhn, Claire Poeppelman, Emma Selhorst, and Wren Taylor for competing at the state Power of the Pen competition last week at Ashland University. Wren and Claire placed in the top 50 out of about 250 kids. Wren and Emma were also recognized for their Platinum Pen award from one of the writings at the district tournament. Great job, girls!

Good Evening Tigers, This is Superintendent Dave Harmon with a reminder about the regularly scheduled school calendar. This message is just a reminder that tomorrow, Friday, May 2, 2025, we will start the day on a pre-scheduled 2-hour delay for staff professional development. Buses will arrive 2 hours later than normal. Have a great remainder of your evening. Go Tigers!
Come join the team! Be the first smiling face to greet our wonderful students in the morning, and the last to say, "Have a great night!" in the afternoons.
Versailles Schools has two (2) bus driver openings for the 2025-2026 school year. These will be AM and PM regular bus routes, approximately 3 hours/day, and $23.66 - $31.55/hour based on years of bus driver experience.
Being a regular route driver also gives you priority to choose to take trips for games and field trips while being paid to be there as well.
If you do not have a CDL with both the passenger (P) and school bus (S) endorsements, we will provide the training. Training can begin as soon as the school year concludes.
If interested, or even if you just have some questions, please contact Kyle Kunk, Transportation Supervisor, at kyle.kunk@vtigers.org or 937-526-4773.

This morning the School District conducted a Lock Down school safety drill at approximately 10:30 am. This was only a drill.
Good morning Tigers,
This is Superintendent Dave Harmon with an important message about safety this morning.
Due to the patchy dense fog, as well as for the concern about low lying water areas which may not be able to be seen because of the fog, we will be starting today, Monday, April 7, 2025 on a 2-hour delay. Please be careful and we'll see you two hours late today.
