Dear Avon Lake City Schools Community,

Tonight, the extraordinary members of the Avon Lake High School Class of 2025 will celebrate their Commencement ceremony, and formally graduate from our beloved school district. This particular group of seniors has demonstrated all that we hold dear in our extended school family, as they have shown strength and leadership, a dedication to hard work and academic excellence, and been ambassadors for the entire Avon Lake Community in their endeavors. We thank each of them for being examples of light and success to our entire student body. With the Class of 2025, our school family can easily see the path we collaboratively pursue in becoming an ALite School District.

Our staff members and families are to be commended on this occasion as well. Through your support, encouragement, and mentorship, the Class of 2025 along with each and every student in our school district, is thoroughly supported to pursue their life passions that will make each a contributing member of our community. Thank you to our amazing support network.

Congratulations to all!

An official recount has taken place and the results from Election Night regarding Issue 16 are affirmed:

With the approval of the Issue 17 emergency operating levy on May 6, 2025, Avon Lake City Schools has adjusted the tuition for both All-Day Kindergarten and LEAPS Preschool for the upcoming 2025-2026 School Year. Tuition for the 2025-2026 All-Day Kindergarten program has been reduced to $4,800. Families of incoming Kindergarten students will receive a letter from the district announcing the reduced tuition amount along with information about the updated tuition structure for families who have already made payments. Additional information will also be posted on the district’s Student Registration page.

Limited spots for the All-Day Kindergarten program are available at each of the three elementary buildings, Eastview, Redwood, and Westview. Families with any questions related to registering their child or switching their child’s placement from half-day to the All Day Kindergarten program, can contact Theresa Martin, District Registrar, at 440-933-0984 or Theresa.Martin@alcsoh.org.

Thank you to the more than 200 individuals who visited Erieview Elementary School one final time this past Monday, to walk the halls of this building so beloved in our community. Overheard were stories from the past, all evoking a wide range of emotions and endearment. Your participation in the Community Tour shows the love and passion our citizens have for our school district. Thank you for taking time to help us all close this specific chapter in the ALCS story, while a new one awaits us on the horizon.

Avon Lake City Schools and Avon Lake Police Department have an important working relationship, and per Chief Robinson, we extend this important message to you. As summer draws near, more bicycles and e-bicycles will be on our sidewalks, and in order to share information and keep everyone safe, the following graphic is provided. In it, is a chart detailing the different classes of e-bikes, and Chief Robinson asks you to review this information with your children to ensure responsible riding practices. Such practices involve obeying traffic laws and giving the right of way to all pedestrians.

Please also note the following City Codified Ordinances regarding bicycle and pedestrian safety. Even young children must yield to, and ride around pedestrians on sidewalks. It is not safe for our elderly, vision impaired, etc. to have to move off the sidewalk to allow bikes to pass.

§ 474.06 RIDING ON SIDEWALKS.

(a) No person shall ride a bicycle upon the sidewalks within any business district of the city.

(b) Whenever any person is riding a bicycle upon a sidewalk, such person shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian and shall give an audible signal before overtaking and passing such pedestrian. (Ord. 132-62, passed 10-22-1962)

§ 474.07 SAFE OPERATION; RIGHT-OF-WAY.

Every person operating a bicycle shall, at all times, operate it with due regard to his or her own safety and the safety of other persons lawfully upon the streets, alleys, sidewalks and other public places and shall, in each and every instance, yield the right-of-way to pedestrians.

Take a moment to read these ordinances, and please keep an eye out on social media for more information from Avon Lake Police Department and our school district, regarding bicycle and e-bicycle safety. Your cooperation is appreciated!

The last day of school for students in the Avon Lake City Schools is Wednesday, June 4th! An exciting final few days of fun, learning, excitement, and closure is in store next week. Thank you to everyone who has helped to make these final few weeks a success!

Congratulations to the Class of 2025 once again and have a great weekend!
