Principal's Message
We welcome everyone to Stadium Drive Elementary for the 2025-26 school year! We look forward to working with our amazing families to continue our excellence as a National Blue Ribbon School as well as a 5-STAR award-winning school in Ohio. This year we are excited for the extension of the elementary school day in the district. The school day begins no later than 8:10 AM and ends with dismissal at 3 PM. Our young Spartans should see many benefits from the increased time with our excellent teachers and staff.
Some important dates to keep in mind as we approach the start of a new school year:
New Family Orientation: August 6 at 5:45 For families of students new to Stadium Drive. Bring your child as you will be able to tour the school.

Our PTA and After school Program will each have a table set up with information during each supply drop off.
Stadium Drive Phase In Days for grades 1-3 will take place August 20-August 22. This will provide teachers with a chance to get to know your child as part of a small group and allow them time to assess your child's individual academic levels. This day is the only day your child will attend school this week. The school doors open at 7:50 a.m. Students must be in the classroom by 8:10 a.m. School ends at 3:00 p.m.

I would like to thank the entire Stadium Drive community for making the Boardman Local Schools and Stadium Drive an amazing place. I understand the importance of a solid education and would like everyone to know that next to our great parents, the dedicated staff of Stadium Drive will be your child’s greatest advocate.
