School Fees
As we approach the end of the school year, we kindly urge all families to bring student fee balances to zero as soon as possible.
Please note: All school fees must be up to date in order for students to attend the 8th Grade Washington, D.C. trip in October 2026, and Pay to Participate fees must be current for students to join Fall athletics. We understand that financial challenges can arise, and we are here to support you—if you need help setting up a payment plan, please reach out to the Learwood office as soon as possible.
We appreciate your attention to this matter and are committed to working with you to ensure every student can take part in these meaningful experiences.
Back-to-School Forms
Over the summer months, you will receive an email prompting you to complete your student’s back‑to‑school forms in FinalForms. Since this is a new platform for us, the email will include instructions on how to access and complete the required forms. FinalForms serves as a one‑stop location for reviewing and updating your child’s emergency and medical information, sports physicals, as well as signing the annual permission forms for district policies.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact:
Theresa Martin at 440-933-0984
OR
Kristen Perrier at 440-930-8324.
A Note from the Learwood Athletic Department
As we prepare for the 2026-2027 school year, we are streamlining our athletic registration process. All athletic paperwork will now be completed digitally alongside your standard back-to-school forms.
Please note the following important updates:
Roster Requirements: Completing these online forms is the only way your child will be added to an official team roster.
Physical Exam Forms: You will now upload your child’s physical form directly into FinalForms.
- No More Paper Copies: Please do not send physical forms to the athletic office, as we are moving away from paper collection. However, we highly recommend keeping the original hard copy at home for your personal records.
Thank you for your cooperation as we transition to this more efficient system!

Chromebook Update
Dear Learwood Families,
Current 7th grade students will keep their Chromebook over the summer. If you know that you will be withdrawing your child from the Avon Lake City Schools, please have your child turn in the assigned Chromebook and charger to the Media Center on the last day of school. In order to maintain battery life for next school year, please keep your Chromebook plugged in over the summer.
If your child is a current 8th grader, they will be turning in their assigned Chromebook and charger on the last day of school. All current 8th grade students will receive a new Chromebook at the start of next school year. Your child’s teachers will let them know where and how to turn in their Chromebook and charger.
A fee of $250 will be assessed for anyone that does not return their assigned Chromebook and charger. Damaged Chromebooks turned in will have repair fees assessed over the Summer.
Sincerely,
ALCS Technology Department
8th Grade Recognition
Learwood held our annual 8th Grade Recognition Ceremony on Wednesday, May 13th. This assembly is designed to honor our students for their individual and collective achievements throughout their time at Learwood. We understand that many parents have busy schedules and were not able to attend the ceremony in person. Below, you will find the link to the recorded live stream. Congratulations to the Class of 2030!
Yearbooks
The 2025-2026 yearbooks are arriving soon for those families who ordered them ahead of time. Students will be receiving their copy on Tuesday, June 2nd during support, and given the opportunity to get them signed by friends and teachers. If additional copies remain, an announcement will go out for those who wish to purchase one. There may be a very limited supply, so this will be first come first serve.
Summer Hours
If you need to pay a school fee, return any books, return a Chromebook and/or charger, or contact the school for any reason, please stop in or call the main office during our office hours. The Learwood Office will be open through June 25th, from 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. The office will reopen on August 3rd. Final schedules will be handed out on the designated locker assignment/schedule pick-up days next school year
4th Quarter Dream Team
Each quarter, our Essentials teachers select two students who exemplify dedication to their class and peers. Students are chosen for their willingness to be team players, enthusiasm for the class, active participation, and ability to serve as good role models for others. These students are celebrated for their great work and treated to a freshly cooked breakfast by their teachers. Congratulations!
