• Welcome to Toll Gate Elementary Military Family Support page! 

    In an effort to better support students who have an active military member in their immediate family, Toll Gate Elementary works to identify these military families and support them in their classrooms and our school.   Relocation, deployment, and reintegration can have a significant impact on student learning especially of our elementary school age children.  

    We have put together a list of resources and helpful contacts designed to assist members of the Armed Forces and their families that have connections to our Toll Gate Elementary family. Our school counselor, Mr. Darren Drake, offers both academic counseling and mental health services for our students. 

    Please make us aware of your status as a military family. If you or your spouse are a member of the military, have a student or students attending school in Toll Gate Elementary, and would like to learn more about the resources we have to offer, please contact Assistant Principal, Scott May (Scott_May@plsd.us) or School Counselor, Darren Drake (Darren_Drake@plsd.us) for assistance.

  • Activities and Resources for Family Resilience

    Begun in response to the stay-at-home order initiated in March, this compilation of resources will be published bi-weekly to support youth and families for the duration of this pandemic. Family and Youth Coordinators for The Ohio National Guard Family Readiness will bring you a collection of ideas to help keep everyone engaged and growing during these challenging times. Our goal is that out of the suggestions shared, your family will find activities that will work best for you and the age of your children. Please remember that what works for one family may not be ideal for each family’s situation – and that is perfectly fine.
