Defiance Elementary School Mentoring Program....

Defiance City Schools is looking for individuals interested in becoming a mentor. If you are interested please visit the Defiance Schools Elementary School page for more information.

Lunch Accounts-Reminder to Parents

Federal aid given during the COVID-19 pandemic made school meals available for free to all public school students — regardless of family income levels. But those eligibility waivers expired over the summer, so beginning with the 2022-2023 school year, Defiance City Schools will no longer be serving all of their meals for free.

Parents, be sure to add funds to your child's lunch account as needed.

Please click the link below to review all necessary information regarding food services at Defiance City Schools.

Papa John's Pizza will now be offered to our Defiance Middle School and High School students every Friday as an option for lunch.

Parent Portal Returning Student Updates

In an effort to help provide up to date information to parents and guardians regarding your Defiance City Schools' students we encourage all parents to create a PowerSchool Parent Portal account. Via the Parent Portal account you are able to view your student's schedule, view grades and update emergency medical and emergency contact information. It is IMPERATIVE to complete this online process in order to update addresses, phone numbers, health concerns, emergency contact information, transportation requests, etc. (This electronic form replaces the paper family emergency medical form.)

Please be aware that these forms MUST be updated every year for every student.

NOTE: Students are not permitted to attend school field trips until their returning student registration has been completed.

If you currently have a Parent Portal account and are ready to begin updating your students' records please click Returning Student Emergency Medical and Contact Information Update.
