This afternoon, Bus #1 was involved in a traffic accident during the PSHS/Middle School portion of the afternoon drop-off procedure. No students were immediately injured/harmed by the accident. The bus contained Poland Seminary High School students as they were en route to pick up the middle school students at Poland Middle School. Bus #1 riders were evaluated by local officials to ensure their safety. Then, the riders were relocated to another bus route to resume drop-off procedures under transportation emergency protocols. With the influx of traffic at the impacted area, expect delays in the afternoon drop-off procedures for all bus routes this afternoon.

Poland Local Schools Pawsitive Leaders and Kindness Club have partnered with Poland Village Police - School Resource Officer Mel for a great cause: Pull Together for Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMDH)! From now until the end of the school year, we will be collecting aluminum can tabs or 'pop tabs.' Please feel free to send your child in with collected tabs in Ziplock bags, plastic containers, cups, etc. There will be smaller collection bins in both offices as well as the cafeteria, there will be an extra-large bin near Officer Mel’s desk for larger quantities.

Poland Local School District conducted a full-scale safety drill on November 6, 2025 at Poland Seminary High School, in collaboration with Poland Township Police Department, Western Reserve Fire and Rescue, and federal agencies. The district appreciates its partners for their continued collaboration and thanks PSHS administrators Mr. Kevin Snyder, Mr. Mike Daley, Mr. Doug McGlynn, and Mr. Brian Banfield, for their commitment to the safety of our schools.

On January 30, sixth-grade students from Poland Middle School had the treat of meeting Pogo from Poland Township Police Department's K-9 Unit. Officer Moncilovich introduced the students to Pogo and shared information about the training process and duties. Students asked questions about Pogo's accomplishments and life off-duty. Officer Moncilovich and Pogo performed a detection demonstration for the students followed by a meet-and-greet "Pet Pogo" session!
