CLERMONT NORTHEASTERN LOCAL SCHOOLS
BACK-TO-SCHOOL REMINDERS & IMPORTANT UPDATES
Welcome back, CNE Families! We are excited to welcome our students back to campus. To ensure a safe, smooth, and successful start to the school year, please carefully review the grade-level start schedules, cell phone policy updates, and campus traffic patterns below.
1. KINDERGARTEN & PRESCHOOL SCHEDULE UPDATES
KINDERGARTEN
Due to the delayed start, Kindergarten will NO LONGER have a split start.
Both boys and girls will start together on Tuesday, August 18th.
Extra staff will be available Tuesday morning to guide our new students and help everyone enter the building smoothly.
PRESCHOOL
Monday, August 17th: Open House from 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM.
Wednesday, August 19th: First day of school for Preschool students.
2. PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES (POLICY 5136 / HB 250)
In alignment with Ohio House Bill 250 and CNE Board Policy 5136, all CNE schools will maintain a cell-phone-free environment during the school day to reduce digital distractions, support mental well-being, and foster genuine face-to-face connections.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Bell-to-Bell Focus: Personal communication devices must be powered off completely and stored safely out of sight (in lockers, backpacks, or designated classroom caddies) during the entire school day—including class time, hallway transitions, and lunch periods.
Sensitive Areas: Devices are strictly prohibited in restrooms and locker rooms at all times.
THOUGHTFUL EXCEPTIONS
Device use remains permitted for:
Medical monitoring (documented with the school nurse)
IEP or Section 504 plan accommodations
Direct teacher-led instructional activities
School buses and after-school extracurricular activities
Active emergency situations
REACHING YOUR STUDENT
If you need to relay an urgent message or contact your child during the school day, please call the main office directly. Our staff will connect you with your student promptly.
3. CAMPUS TRAFFIC PATTERNS & DROP-OFF/PICK-UP
To resolve backup issues on Hutchinson Road and ensure student safety, please follow the designated traffic flows for your child's building:
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (ES)
Procedure Change: Morning drop-off now follows the same procedure as afternoon dismissal.
Route: Enter using the US Route 50 entrance closest to the Middle School. Drive slowly and follow the one-way traffic flow.
Timing: Campus arrival is no earlier than 7:45 AM. Drop-off begins at 8:20 AM when staff members are present to direct vehicles.
Parking & Unloading: Park in the first 2 rows of the lot closest to the tennis courts, facing your vehicle toward the courts. Do NOT park in front of the High School lot.
Safety: Have students exit on the driver's side of the vehicle.
MIDDLE SCHOOL (MS)
Drop-Off: Enter via US Route 50. Pull forward toward the end of the sidewalk so multiple vehicles can unload simultaneously and prevent backups onto US Route 50.
Exit: Exit campus back onto US Route 50 (if dropping off MS students only).
HIGH SCHOOL (HS)
Drop-Off: Enter using the second entrance on Hutchinson Road. Pull up in front of the building and have students exit on the passenger side of the vehicle.
Exit: Exit campus using the first entrance/exit closest to US Route 50 on Hutchinson Road.
FAMILIES WITH MULTIPLE GRADE LEVELS & STUDENT DRIVERS
MS & HS Families: Drop off High School students first via Hutchinson Road. Exit campus onto US Route 50, then re-enter the Middle School drop-off line from US Route 50 to minimize cross-campus traffic.
HS Student Drivers (Dropping off MS Students): Enter via US Route 50 to drop off Middle School students first. Drivers may then turn left within the parking lot toward the HS student lot. All HS student drivers must enter campus via US Route 50.
STAFF PARKING FLOW
HS Staff: Remain on campus after dropping off MS students and proceed directly to routine parking.
ES Staff: Proceed to the HS drop-off exit, turn left onto Hutchinson Road, and re-enter at the second entrance on Hutchinson Road to reach the Elementary School.
4. FIRST-WEEK CHECKLIST
Drive Safely & Patiently: Traffic is always heavier during the first week. Drive slowly, stay alert for walking students, and watch for buses.
Bus Riders: Ensure your student is at their assigned bus stop 5–10 minutes early.
Emergency Forms: Confirm contact details and medical/emergency forms are updated in FinalForms.
Thank you for your partnership and support in keeping our school community safe and focused on learning. Have a wonderful first day! Go Rockets!

Open House is tonight August 17th 5:00-6:30pm! We are excited to see everyone back on campus.

Dear Northeastern Families,

As you may know, our campus is still currently without power, and several surrounding roads remain blocked and closed due to recent storm damage. The encouraging news is that an army of utility repair vehicles is currently staged in our school parking lot. With crews working diligently, we hope for a quick turnaround.

To ensure our facilities are completely safe and ready for students, we are planning to conduct full building assessments and systems checks through the end of the day tomorrow and into Monday morning.

To ensure everyone is safe and the building is operational. Here is the latest revised schedule.

Revised Opening Week Schedule
Open House: Monday, August 17th from 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM

First Day of School (All Students): Tuesday, August 18th

Important Note for Kindergarten Families
Due to the delayed start, Kindergarten will no longer have a split start. Both boys and girls will start together on Tuesday, August 18th. We will have extra staff on hand Tuesday morning to help guide our new students and make sure everyone enters the building smoothly and comfortably.

Hosting our families to meet teachers, tour classrooms, and ask questions is a huge part of our culture and who we are, and we want to preserve that experience for everyone.

Thank you so much for your patience, flexibility, and understanding as we navigate these unexpected conditions. We will continue to communicate additional details over the next couple of days as repairs progress.

Warmly,

TJ Dorsey

Dear Clermont Northeastern Families,

Following the recent storm, utility crews and local partners are working hard to restore power and clear roads across our community. Our district still remains without power at this time and we are unable to evaluate the functionality and mechanical systems of the buildings. To ensure everyone’s safety and give our families time to focus on recovery at home, we are adjusting our schedule for the coming days.

While this is not the ideal start to the school year, our staff is dedicated, flexible, and eager to welcome our students back as soon as it is safe to do so.

Schedule Adjustments:
Thursday, Aug 13th: All campuses will be closed for staff and students. All events and preschool home visits for the remainder of the week are canceled so families can focus on weather recovery. Buildings must still be evaluated for functionality once power is restored.

Friday, Aug 14th: No School for Students. (power and weather dependent)

Tentative Afternoon Open House (1:30 PM – 3:00 PM): If power is restored, families are invited to stop by campus to pick up schedules and visit classrooms. This is a low pressure event and will just an opportunity to walk the building if we are able.

Monday, Aug 17th: Tentative First Day of School for Students.

Important Reminder: Please note that all mentioned plans are contingent on power restoration and road safety. We will send out additional updates tomorrow afternoon to officially confirm both the Friday Open House and the First Day of School.

Stay safe, and thank you for your patience and support. We look forward to seeing everyone soon!

Due to Tuesday's storms, the CNE Campus will be CLOSED TODAY, Aug 12th. All athletic and other activities are also canceled for today.

We are also CLOSED for school TOMORROW, AUGUST 13TH. Because of the storms, power is currently out at the CNE Main Campus.

Lastly, this allows our staff to effectively prepare for the school year, as our last two days for Professional Development and preparation have been interrupted.

We thank you ahead of time for your patience and understanding. We will provide other updates as soon as we can.
