Redwood Reader

Thank you to all the families of Redwood for making the PTA Fun Run another successful fundraising event. Please enjoy the photos from the the day below.

We are nearing the end of the year and Redwood's Lost & Found table is overflowing. This would be a great time to remind your student to check for that missing sweatshirt, jacket, hat, even glasses. All items not claimed by the end of the year will be donated to local charity.

It is hard to believe, but we are already closing in on the end of the school year. The following information is in regards to the Chromebooks provided to students from the Avon Lake City School District and end of year procedures.

If you are a 4th grade student, at the end of this school year on Monday, June 2nd, You will need to turn in your Chromebook and its charger to the Media Center. Please ensure your student has their Chromebook and charger at school on this day. Chromebooks will not go home with students after this day. You will receive a new Chromebook next school year. If you are unable to turn in your Chromebook and charger the fee is $250.00. Damaged Chromebooks turned in will have repair fees assessed.

Students who are currently in 1st, 2nd or 3rd grade will keep their Chromebook with them over the summer. Only students who are aware that they are moving out of Avon Lake City Schools District and would no longer be attending our school district in the fall will be required to return Chromebooks prior to summer break. If this applies to your family, Chromebook should be returned to classroom teachers. All other first through third grade students should keep their Chromebooks plugged and charged over the summer to maintain battery life for next school year.

Prices everywhere are rising — even for school supplies at Walmart, Target, and Amazon.

As more students bring cell phones and watches with wi-fi and data capabilities, it is

important to remember and inform your children about the policy of using them while at

school. During school hours, students must keep the phone in the locker/cubby or

backpack and have it turned off. If a parent needs to contact their child or a child needs

to contact a parent, that communication must go through the school and in most cases

the main office. Watches are another area where communication may occur if wi-fi or

data are enabled. Students may wear watches and use the watches for time telling

purposes or tracking their steps and other non-communication purposes. However, if

students and parents are using the watch to call and text each other, those devices will

be viewed more for communication and will be asked to be put away each day like a cell

phone. Thank you for your attention to this matter and following these rules.

Over the summer months you will receive an email notifying you to complete your student's back-to-school forms via your PowerSchool Parent Account. All forms are to be completed prior to the first day of school. This is a one-stop shop for updating your child’s emergency and medical information as well as signing off on the annual permission forms for school district policies.

If you have more than one child in the school system, you only need one PowerSchool Parent Account. All of your children, regardless of building attendance, are to be added to your one account BEFORE you start completing the back-to-school forms.

If you have any questions about your PowerSchool Parent Account, please contact:

• Maria Szarek - (440) 933-4829 or
• Theresa Martin - (440) 933-0984
