Final Forms
Over the summer months, you will receive an email prompting you to complete your student’s back‑to‑school forms in FinalForms. Since this is a new platform for us, the email will include instructions on how to access and complete the required forms. FinalForms serves as a one‑stop location for reviewing and updating your child’s emergency and medical information, as well as signing the annual permission forms for district policies.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact either Theresa Martin at 440-933-0984 or Kristen Perrier at 440-930-8324.

Lost and Found
Redwoods K-Kids have been kind enough to sort and organize our lost and found table. If your student is missing a hat , glove, sweatshirt, water bottle or any other item now would be a great time to remind them to check the lost and found table outside of the cafeteria.
Camp Invention
The all-new 2026 Camp Invention® program is coming to curious kids in the Avon Lake community from June 8th to June 11th!

Parental request for change in dismissal
As a reminder if you are changing the way in which your student will be going home for the day that information should be communicated in writing and sent with the student to the teacher. ( If sending an email, it must be sent prior to 12 Noon, and you must verify with a reply from the teacher the information has been received)
Student Planned Absence and vacation Forms
We have begun receiving request for student absence or vacation request. Please be sure to submit the following form for all pre-planned student absences.
Grab & Go Breakfast
Redwood Grab & Go Breakfast
Redwood will offer grab and go breakfast each morning from 8:35-8:50. For those students who do not qualify for free or reduced lunch services, there is a fee of $2.00 associated with this program. All students are invited to participate in the program. The menu is a set repeating menu, there is only one option a day. We ask you remind students if they participate in this program the money does come from their normal lunch account.
Electronic Student Devices - cell phones and watches
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.
Calling all Recyclers!
Calling all recyclers! The Redwood art room is always in need of the following: plastic grocery bags, newspaper, and egg cartons (plastic or styrofoam only). If you have any of these items, please drop them off in the art room. Thank you!
