District News and Updates

November 11, 2025

Dear Avon Lake City Schools Community,

Today is Veterans Day and the Avon Lake City Schools wishes to recognize all those who have served our nation to protect and defend our freedoms and uphold our shared values. Throughout the district, assemblies of commemoration took place so that students, staff, and our building families could recognize the service of our veterans to our country. The entire ALCS expresses our gratitude and respect to our United States Veterans. Thank you very much for your service.

On Wednesday, November 12th, the Avon Lake City Schools will celebrate Take Back Togetherness Night. This evening presses pause on school activities and homework in order for families to make some special time together. We encourage you all to enjoy a dinner conversation, play a game or two as a family, catch up on discussion about important matters, unplug from electronics and devices, and enjoy one another’s presence. Thank you for taking this time to promote, encourage, and appreciate the company of your loved ones.

An online-only auction of a variety of surplus items, primarily from Erieview, will soon be live via Fast Track Marketplace, a local auction company. Please visit the Fast Track Marketplace website in the next few days to learn about auction details and view available items on which to place bids. The online auction will be live before the end of the week and will continue to be open through Monday, November 24th, at 9:00 p.m. All items bid on and won/purchased, must be picked up on Wednesday, November 26th, between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at Erieview Elementary School, 32630 Electric Blvd., Avon Lake, OH 44012. Once fully live, we will post the link again on the district website and on social media. Please participate in this opportunity!

The Avon Lake City Schools supports the work of Community Resource Services (CRS) and perhaps more now than in recent memory, ensuring that available food and resources for our neighbors in need is as important as ever. While all help is greatly appreciated, whether it’s food items or a financial contribution, the team at CRS regularly updates their donation page with items currently on their “wish-list,” including those of which the CRS is in current need, and items for which they are fully stocked. Please do all you can to help those less fortunate this season. You can learn how to donate and review the specific list of items in its entirety by visiting the CRS website. If you or someone you know in Avon Lake could use support with food or emergency financial needs, CRS may be able to help. You can reach them at 440-933-5639. Thank you.

The holiday season is right around the corner and the City of Avon Lake will be hosting several exciting events. Enjoy free family fun at the Light Up the Park Holiday Celebration which will take place on Saturday, November 22nd from 2:30-6:30 p.m. at Veterans' Memorial Park located at 32756 Lake Road. The event will feature kids’ crafts and activities inside the Lake House, live ice sculpture demonstration, carolers, and more! Northcoast Christmas Photos with Santa will take place at Veterans' Memorial Park complete with holiday lights and decorations on December 5th and 6th. This event not only provides wonderful memories for families but also serves as a fundraiser for the Avon Lake Historical Society. Don't wait - photo reservations are filling up quick! To register for a time slot, please visit the City of Avon Lake website.

Make it a great week and stay safe and warm!

Sincerely,

Joelle M. Magyar

Superintendent of Schools

Each of the Avon Lake City Schools has a Parent Teacher/Staff Association (PTA) that is very active and which works closely with the District, Parents, and Community of Avon Lake.

Please consider joining the PTA associated with the school that your child attends. If you have students in multiple buildings, it is best to join each building.

It’s a great way to get involved and to help support the teachers, staff, students, and community!

For your convenience, below is a link to each school’s PTA membership website.
