Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

November 25, 2025
Dear Avon Lake City Schools Community,
The sights and sounds of the holiday season have officially arrived, and one needs only to have visited some of our buildings earlier this week to see our students and staff welcome the Thanksgiving holiday. The nearby pictures are certain to warm us all with a smile. The Avon Lake City Schools will be closed for Thanksgiving Break beginning on Wednesday, November 26th through Friday, November 28th. Classes will resume for the entire district on Monday, December 1st. Thank you for being a school family that remains supportive, compassionate, caring, and dedicated to the requisite standards that encourage us on our path toward excellence. We hope you have a restful Thanksgiving Break.
Grab-and-Go Breakfasts an Immediate Success!
Thank you to the families and students who immediately began taking advantage of our Grab-and-Go breakfasts at all of the buildings. The growth of the program nearly doubled from Wednesday until Friday of last week, and we are excited to be able to offer this special opportunity for our students. Please continue to take advantage of this outstanding opportunity to grab a quick bite to eat when your child starts their school days!
Thank you to Those Who Participated in the Auction
The online auction for surplus materials primarily from Erieview was a great success, and we thank all of the individuals who bid on a variety of items. Keep in mind that all items bid on and won/purchased must be picked up tomorrow, Wednesday, November 26th, between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. at Erieview Elementary School, 32630 Electric Blvd., Avon Lake, OH 44012.
Last Chance to Help the PTA with its Plant Sale!
There’s a last chance to help the PTA Council with its Winter Plant Sale! All orders are due by the end of the day today! Information has been posted to our website, and we encourage you to explore the various options of the 2-page catalogue for interested individuals to help purchase a plant, play a role, and support the PTA. Please see the nearby links to support your building’s efforts to help the PTA raise funds to benefit our district! Make your purchases today!

Once again, all orders are due by the end of the day today, November 25th and will be available for pick up on December 3rd at the Erieview building at 32630 Electric Blvd. Thank you for your support!
Help Community Resource Services with Donated Food Items
The Avon Lake City Schools supports the work of Community Resource Services (CRS) and perhaps more now than in recent memory, ensuring that available food and resources for our neighbors in need is as important as ever. While all help is greatly appreciated, whether it’s food items or a financial contribution, the team at CRS regularly updates their donation page with items currently on their “wish-list,” including those of which the CRS is in current need, and items for which they are fully stocked. Please do all you can to help those less fortunate this season. You can learn how to donate and review the specific list of items in its entirety by visiting the CRS website. If you or someone you know in Avon Lake could use support with food or emergency financial needs, CRS may be able to help. You can reach them at 440-933-5639. Thank you.
Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Sincerely,
Joelle M. Magyar
Superintendent of Schools

Please Join Your School PTA!
Each of the Avon Lake City Schools has a Parent Teacher/Staff Association (PTA) that is very active and which works closely with the District, Parents, and Community of Avon Lake.
Please consider joining the PTA associated with the school that your child attends. If you have students in multiple buildings, it is best to join each building.
It’s a great way to get involved and to help support the teachers, staff, students, and community!
