9 PTA Meeting at Westview, 7:00

10 Marco's Pizza Night, Box Night grades 3-4

11 Take Back Togetherness Night

11 Veterans Day

Take Back Togetherness Night will be observed throughout our entire district, as an evening deliberately designated to reconnect among families, free from homework and school-sponsored activities. We’re encouraging you to put down your electronic devices, cook a meal, and engage in conversations. Perhaps you’ll visit one of the outstanding restaurants in Avon Lake, have a family chat, play a game, or just enjoy some quality time together. Either way, the Avon Lake City Schools simply wants to affirm your family’s togetherness time, and provide you with an evening such as this, to reclaim some unplugged, and one-on-one interactions with your loved ones.

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!

Two Westview students had their artwork selected by the Lorain County Solid Waste Management District 2027 Calendar. The contest had 625 entries this year on the theme of recycling. Way to go and congratulations!

This month, our school focus is Responsibility. Staff have been and will continue to reinforce this trait with students. Students earning recognition in this area place stickers on the ROAR board or earn a Caught Being Good Card.

To support this initiative, our Student Council members promote our focus trait for each month. Watch Luca's video below to learn about how students can demonstrate Responsibility at Westview.
