Important Updates & Reminders

Medication Reminder

Please pick up your child’s medication from the school nurse. For safety reasons, medications should not be sent to or from school with students. Any medications remaining after May 22, 2026 without prior arrangements will be disposed of.

To schedule pickup, contact Mrs. Allison Holzaepfel, MSN, RN at holzaepfela@danburyschools.org
or by phone/text.

Looking Ahead to 2026–27
Per school policy, all medications must be in their original container and accompanied by a signed guardian form. Prescription medications also require a physician’s signature. Forms are available on the school website (RX and OTC)

T-Ball Coaches needed by April 30
High school students have a great opportunity to give back by volunteering to help coach PYAL T-ball teams while earning community service hours. This is a fun and rewarding way to work with younger athletes, build leadership skills, and be part of the community.
T-ball teams practice twice a week in May at the North Field at James Park and play two games per week throughout June.
If you are interested, please contact Alyssa Smith by April 30th at smithal@danburyschools.org for more information or come see me in Kindergarten Room 4.

Open Enrollment Information by May 1
If you do not live within the boundaries of Danbury Local School District and wish to attend Danbury Local Schools for the 2026/2027 school year (next year), please complete and return the linked form along with 1 current proof of residency as soon as possible, but no later than May 1, 2026. Many times open enrollment approval is based on a first come, first serve basis. We suggest that you apply early. You must reapply each year.

If you have chosen to discontinue open enrollment to Danbury, please call Melissa Maringer at 419-798-5185 ext 1062.
