Notes from Principal Vens
Our ICU system enables teachers to enter missing assignments into software that notiﬁes students’ parents/guardians. Maybe you have received a message?

I am pleased to report that over 3,000 missing or unﬁnished assignments have now been completed thanks to extended deadlines and this monitoring process. Those assignments, which would have been recorded as zeros, have been updated to at least a passing score, and in some cases have been changed to full credit.
Throughout the year, we have conversations with our teachers about assigning meaningful practice and holding students accountable for their learning. We know that the more students practice, the better they will do on future assessments.

At ﬁrst glance, it may seem as though we are failing to develop students’ responsibility, but we feel the beneﬁts of students learning the material before they are overwhelmed and unable to comprehend the next topic far outweigh any gains made from punishments or incentives based strictly on compliance.

Thank you for any help with homework completion that you provide at home!

Make that FOUR IN A ROW!!!
Southview has been voted the best high school in Northwest Ohio for 2019, 2020, 2021, and now 2022

Second, that means our seniors have attended the best school in Toledo for the whole time they have been in high school!!

NEWS & NOTES
SPRING SPORTS
LETTER FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Please read the letter on the next page from NLL Commissioner Richard Browne. He addresses the need for charging admission for Spring Sports in the NLL. This Spring, Southview Athletics is projecting to spend $13,480 for game ofﬁcials. There are also miscellaneous expenses that total well over $10,000 for the equipment needed for our Spring Sports. As you can see, the need is justiﬁed.

Commissioner Browne also explains the ticket scanning process at NLL facilities. When there are multiple events occurring at Southview on the same day, tickets will be scanned at the ticket booth in the southeast corner of the parking lot near the athletic facilities. If only one event is happening, you can expect the ticket scanner near the location of the game.

SPRING SPORTS = CANCELLATIONS/POSTPONEMENTS

ADMISSION FOR SPRING SPORTS

Thank you for your continued support to not only your student athlete's school but also the Northern Lakes League. Our league is entering an exciting time with our plans for expansion beginning with the 2023 - 2024 school year.

As we begin another spring sports season, I wanted to take the opportunity to address our policy of charging for spring sports. Six years ago, our league members voted to begin charging admission for the following spring sports: Baseball, Softball, Boys & Girls Lacrosse and Track & Field. Historically, schools
in the past had not charged admission for spring sports (except for larger Track & Field invitationals).

Our reasoning for implementing these admission charges for spring sports was a difficult decision, but one that had to be made. With costs to operate these sports increasing, it became apparent that the revenue generated during the fall and winter sports seasons were not going to be able to sufficiently continue to fund spring sports.

Since we started charging admission for spring sports, we have faced many challenges. Some of these challenges include facilities at some of our schools that do not have secured points of entry set up to scan tickets. We are aware that it is the inclination of some to not purchase tickets for games at these facilities; however, NLL schools will continue to sell tickets through their Hometown Ticket box office, and it is our hope that you will purchase tickets for each of these games to help offset the costs incurred at each event.

Again, we appreciate your support of our member schools and the NLL. Have a great spring sports season!

Sincerely,

Richard Browne
Commissioner - Northern Lakes League
