The Technology Department and Media Center Team has seen an increase in Chromebook repairs at SMS with touchpads that stop working. In most cases, this requires replacing the entire keyboard and touchpad. This repair takes longer to complete and means students may be without their device for an extended period.

Please remind your student that the Chromebook touchpad is designed to respond to light touches. It does not require forceful pressing or repeated hard clicks. Using gentle, consistent pressure will keep the device in good working order and help reduce downtime from repairs.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our Chromebooks in great condition!

The Strongsville City Schools annual “Greet & Treat” event will be held at Strongsville High School’s Pat Catan Stadium on Thursday, October 30 from 5:30pm - 7:00pm. Dress up in your best Halloween costume and collect candy and treats in an outdoor, family-friendly atmosphere. We will also be accepting donations of non-perishable items (especially tuna fish, peanut butter, squeeze jelly, and Macaroni & Cheese) for the Strongsville Food Bank that evening. We hope to see lots of families at this year’s “Greet & Treat” on October 30!

Two of our students Peyton Vanderwyst and Kaylee Tripp created a weekly breakdown of the flag football season in the class. I wanted to take the time and share out a piece of the creativity and excellence our students show on a daily basis.
