Mentor Public Schools Home

As Mentor Schools continues planning for school consolidation beginning with the 2027-2028 school year, we are asking families, staff and community members to take a few minutes to learn more about the work underway and share their feedback.

Good evening. Mentor Public Schools will be closed tomorrow, Wednesday, September 2, 2026, due to the expected extreme heat, as the majority of our learning spaces do not have air conditioning.
Beyond the forecast temperatures, the National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for tomorrow from 11:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. stating peak heat index values from the upper 90s to lower 100s are possible.
Please note: Our sixth grade students scheduled to leave for camp tomorrow will still go. Please look for a separate communication about that.
To repeat, this is a districtwide closure - ALL Mentor Schools are closed tomorrow, September 2, due to heat. Thank you.

Summer reading is expected to be complete prior to the first day of school. Please click the link above to find your assignments per next year's grade level.

Mentor Schools Chief Financial Officer Bill Wade shared with the Board of Education this evening that he will be leaving the district after accepting another professional position, effective September 30, 2026.

We are writing to inform you that our Board of Education voted last night to place a five-year 3.5-mill levy on the November 2026 General Election ballot. This represents a reduced request compared to the levy presented to voters in May. The proposed levy would generate $9.6 million annually and would provide funding to support the district’s general operating budget and the day-to-day costs associated with operating the school system at its current level of services. Our team remains focused on providing the high-quality education the children of our community need, while exercising prudent fiscal management practices and maintaining a safe learning environment.
