Avon Lake City Schools has moved to FinalForms, a new online system that will make completing back‑to‑school forms more efficient in the future. This will take the place of the PowerSchool process used in past years.

Families should have received a confirmation email from FinalForms with a link to create your account. Once you’re set up, you can review our 26–27 Back‑to‑School Forms flyer. Completion of these Forms were due August 3, and completing them ensures we have accurate medical information, updated emergency contacts, and your yearly permissions for district policies. If you have not already done so, please complete at this time.

Any questions can be directed to Theresa Martin, District Registrar, at 440-933-0984. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Dear Families,

At Troy Intermediate, we are proud of our students for following The Shoreway each day—showing respect, responsibility, and readiness to learn. To recognize their positive behavior, students earn Shorebucks, which they can use for prizes on our Shoreway Cart.

Each morning, we celebrate five students on the announcements who have demonstrated The Shoreway and invite them to choose a prize from the cart.

We are reaching out to ask for donations to help jump start our Shoreway Cart . If you’re able, please consider donating individually wrapped candy (chocolate or sour varieties are always a hit!). Donations can be sent to school with your child, shipped directly or dropped off in the main office at any time.

Thank you for helping us continue to celebrate and encourage our students’ positive behavior!

Students are permitted to enter the school building at 7:20 am. Students will not be permitted in the building prior to 7:20 am. Doors will not be open prior to 7:20 am. Those students arriving at 7:20 am will be asked to report to the following locations:

5th grade- Use the North doors only & report to the cafeteria

6th grade- Use the South doors only & report to the gym hallway

Students arriving between 7:30 am and 7:45 am will report directly to their homeroom. Students arriving after 7:45 am will need to stop in the office to check-in. During arrival, our staff is stationed at various points around the school to help students locate classrooms.

If you will be driving your student to/from school, use the Canterbury Road entrance and exit only. Busses will enter and leave from the Belmar Blvd. entrance.

During dismissal, students will use the nearest exit door. Bus riders will be dismissed at 2:30pm. Once our buses start to leave campus, walkers, car riders and bike riders will be dismissed at approximately 2:35 pm, again leaving through the nearest exit door.

REMINDERS FOR CAR RIDERS

• All car traffic must enter from Canterbury Road.

• If there is a line of cars, please turn RIGHT only into the school. Please refrain from blocking the flow of traffic crossing Belmar or access for emergency vehicles on Canterbury.

• During car rider dismissal, remember to pull forward as far as possible in the line so that we can get the maximum number of cars into our parking lot and off of Canterbury Road. Students can enter your car anywhere along the sidewalk in front of the school (indicated in light blue in the image below). Students will not be permitted to walk past the sidewalk towards Canterbury Rd. to enter your car along the paved path.

• Avoid using the Belmar Bus Loop during drop-off (7:15-7:45 am) and pick-up (2:15-2:45 pm) times.

REMINDERS FOR BUS RIDERS

• Check the transportation website for bus route information.

• Click HERE for a list of common transportation questions and answers. If you do not see your question listed here, please feel free to contact the bus garage directly at 440-933-9802 or e-mail your questions to sue.cole@alcsoh.org

The image below details the flow of traffic during arrival and dismissal. Please note that students can be dropped off anywhere along the sidewalk (marked in light blue on the map below). Please pull forward as far as possible and let your student exit/enter your vehicle anywhere along the sidewalk so that traffic flows efficiently.

We appreciate your patience as we work out any potential arrival/dismissal issues over the course of the first week of school. Buses may arrive later than expected, and our car line may not flow quite as smoothly as we would like that first week, but each day we should see improvement in the flow of traffic!

Thanks to the Avon Lake Athletic Boosters, all Avon Lake students K-12 will be admitted free of charge to all regular season athletic events at Learwood and ALHS again this year. To obtain your free ticket, go to: https://avonlakesports.hometown.com/events/passes

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
