Congratulations to our October Student of the Month winners. This month our theme was respect.

As Veterans Day approaches, we are excited to announce the creating of a "Wall of Honor" at Troy. This is an opportunity for us to recognize and honor all those who have served or are currently serving in the military.

If you have a family member or loved one who has served or is currently serving, we invite your child to complete the attached form and return it to the school by November 6th. The completed forms will be displayed on our Wall of Honor as a tribute to their service and sacrifice. Students are invited to attach, import or draw a picture of their Veteran. Social Studies teachers have also passed out these forms in class as well.

We are grateful for the chance to recognize the dedication and bravery of our veterans, and we look forward to celebrating this special occasion with our students and community.

As we head into November, cold and flu season is upon us! We are starting to see an increase in illnesses throughout our school community, including strep throat, colds, sore throats, and other contagious illnesses.

As we head into the busy season, we ask for your help in keeping our students and staff healthy:

• Encourage frequent hand washing, cover coughs and sneezes, and get plenty of rest.
• If your child is feeling ill, has a fever, or is experiencing vomiting or diarrhea, they need to remain home until they are feeling better and have been symptom-free for at least 24 hours, also without the use of fever reducing medications.
• Remind children to avoid sharing water bottles, food, and personal items.

A quick reminder that all medications needed during the school day must have the appropriate authorization forms on file with the clinic.

Thank you for helping us keep our students healthy, safe, and ready to learn. A little attention at home can make a big difference in preventing the spread of illness at school.

Wishing all of our families a happy and healthy November!

At Troy, we use a model of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) to intentionally teach students expectations for behavior in all areas of the school environment. The Avon Lake City Schools’ core values of Responsibility, Respect and Readiness create a framework that we use to teach, model and reinforce behavior expectations.

We are looking forward to collaborating with families to demonstrate these expectations. Here are some helpful ways for parents and caregivers to be involved:

1. Ask your child what the three R’s stand for

2. Ask your child about his/her school and classroom expectations

3. Encourage your child to practice the three R’s at home, on their teams, with their siblings and in the community

4. Praise your child when he/she makes choices that align with the three R’s
