In your orientation folder you received 3 ID cards. One card will go on your child's backpack and the other cards are for any adult that is picking your child up from school. Upon pick up, a teacher will match the numbers on your card to your child's and then release the child. 

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR CARD you will be asked to go to the office where Mrs. Glass will verify your identity and release your student. Car Riders will be dropped off and picked up at the back gym doors. 

If your child is going to miss a day of school, please call the office at  (440) 949-4238 and inform Mrs. Glass, the secretary. When your child returns to school, please send in a note that includes the date and reason for their absence.

I will ALWAYS go out of my way to make your child's birthday a special and exciting day for them. For a variety of health and safety issues we will not be sharing birthday treats in the classroom.   You are encouraged to have your child pick out a special book to donate to our school library in their name to commemorate their special day!   

*Any treats that are sent in will be distributed by the teacher at the end of day to go home with each child. 

For kindergarten,  a checklist is given out to show skill level at the end of the first and third quarters. Report cards are given at the half and end of the year. We have report cards that are based on the state of Ohio's Academic Content Standards for kindergarten.  GRADING- When you receive your child's report card you will see numbers that indicate how well your child is progressing.

1. Your child is beginning to develop the skills to meet the grade level standard.

2. Your child is progressing toward meeting the grade level standard with teacher support.

3. Your child is progressing toward the grade level standard independently.

4. Your child is meeting the grade level standard and consistently producing quality work.

Sheffield-Sheffield Lake City Schools operates a school-wide Title 1 Program. As a school-wide program, this means that SSLCS may use their funds to improve student achievement throughout their entire school; therefore, every child benefits from the added services and programs, not just the students identified as eligible to participate. All of the school staff focuses on upgrading the entire educational program and improving the achievement of all students, in particular, the low-achieving ones.

What are the goals of Title I?

The Title I program strives to provide an environment that:

a. Promotes a positive attitude toward math and/or reading

b. Improves student achievement in reading/writing and math

c. Builds students’ self-esteem and confidence

d. Enables parents to be math and reading partners with their child
