Thank you to all of families for following our Car Rider procedures each day to ensure the safety of all students and smooth flow of traffic on Moore Road.

Note these important guidelines per a recent meeting with the Avon Lake Police Department:

• Speed limit is 20 MPH on Moore Road in the school zone when the lights are flashing.
• Cars should not to stop while traveling south on Moore Rd. to turn left in the driveway if there is no room in the Westview driveway. Cars should drive past Westview and turn around on another road (not the bus loop) and return north on Moore Rd.
• Cars may not stop or wait on the crosswalk.
• While waiting in the car line, pull your stopped vehicle near the car in front of you, about 2-3 ft of distance.

2nd Annual Wizards Game - April 14th in the ALHS gym. This event raised over $24,000 for Avon Lake students last year . We are looking for parent representation from every building's PTA to help secure donations and increase community involvement. If you are interested in helping please contact Adam Slabodnick- adam.slabodnick@alcsoh.org

If your child isn’t feeling well before school, please take a moment to decide at home whether they’re ready for the day. The clinic is always here for students who start to feel sick during school, but it works best when children arrive feeling well.

It’s cold and flu season, which means viruses are on the rise!🤒 I wanted to take the time to send home a few reminders for school attendance and what to be looking out for.

· If your child has diarrhea or vomiting within the past 24 hours, keep them home.

· If your child has a continuous or disruptive cough, keep them home.

· Temperature/fever above 100 F, keep them home. Students need to be fever free without the use of medication (Tylenol, Advil, Ibuprofen, Acetaminophen) for 24 hours before returning to school.

Good health habits like covering your cough and washing your hands often can help stop the spread of germs and help prevent respiratory illnesses from spreading in the classroom. If your child continues to be sick, please reach out to your pediatrician for further guidance. Our goal is to keep everyone as healthy as possible, we thank you for your cooperation at home as well.

Save the date! Troy will host a parent meeting on Monday, April 20th, at 6:30 for any parent of a current fourth grade student. Mark your calendars to save this date.
