Troy students will begin taking their state tests next week. State testing is an opportunity for us to reflect on all of the wonderful learning our students have engaged in over the course of the school year. Our goal each day is to help all students grow and achieve their highest potential. Here is what you can do to help.

· Make sure your child has a good night's sleep. This piece of advice is for your child's Chromebook, too. Please make sure it is fully charged if you take your device back and forth from school.

· Encourage your child to do their best, but assure them that their best will do!

· Feed your child a good breakfast.

· Hugs are good. Everyone likes a hug.

· Be sure your student has a pair of earbuds or headphones - for specific test questions, they will have the option to listen to a computerized voice read the selection.

· Tell them that you love them and that they are prepared.

Get them to school on time. We do not want anyone to feel rushed. Tests begin as early as 8:00 am.

Teacher and staff appreciation week will be here before we know it! Troy PTA is hoping to get a jump on planning the festivities in light of spring break falling in mid April this year. If you are able to help to make this a terrific display of appreciation for our Troy staff, please consider making a donation! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0B44AAA92BABF49-55790278-staff

Thank you!

Staff Appreciation Committee

Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Jenkins's classroom is collecting donations for the Friendship APL starting March 17th. We are collecting items like dog and cat food, treats, toys, old towels, and blankets to help pets in need. Please leave your donations in the boxes around Troy. We will pick up donations on Friday, March 28th. Thank you!

Noontime Enrichment Fun!

We are looking for some flexible volunteers to help out with a couple of these fun activities. The time frame for these events runs from 11:30-1:40 pm. Please consider lending your time (even if you can only come for part of the time - it's totally flexible). Weekly volunteer sign-ups will be for the "week of" the date listed. As stated above, the dates will be weather dependent, so if you are only available for certain days that week, please indicate in the comments section.

Feel free to contact Katie McClain at kmcclain811@gmail.com with any questions or concerns!

Thanks so much!

A NOTE FROM THE NURSE

6th Grade Parents and Guardians:

The Ohio Department of Health immunization requirements include a dose of TDaP (tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis) and MCV-4 – Meningococcal (Meningitis) to be given prior to entering 7th Grade. The TDaP dose is intended as a booster for students who completed the required doses of DTaP prior to age 7.

We are contacting you early so you have time to discuss any questions regarding TDaP and MCV-4 with your child’s doctor and to ensure that immunizations are in place prior to starting 7th grade.

As part of our Music class curriculum, the 6th-graders will be preparing and presenting a musical performance in May. This is separate from the band, orchestra, and choir concerts. The "6th Grade Show" will be a collaboration of musical talents of our 6th-grade students. This is our only large project grade for Music class, so all students are expected to participate. If you have an unavoidable conflict with the performance date, or other questions/concerns, please contact Mrs. Brown at maria.brown@alcsoh.org

MAY 19, 7PM at ALHS- ALL students on team Captains, plus Glaciers who have music Monday or Tuesday

MAY 20, 7PM at ALHS- ALL students on team Coastal Crew, plus Glaciers who have Music Wednesday or Friday

Report an Absence:

If your child will be absent from school, please remember to email Christine.klein@alcsoh.org or call (440) 930-8297.

When reporting an absence please give the student’s name, homeroom and reason for the absence.

Please be advised that any forms requiring completion by a teacher for a doctor must be submitted to our Guidance Department. They will ensure the forms are distributed to the appropriate teachers, and we will fax all completed forms back to the doctor's office.
