Parents:  If your child is (1) not going to be in school, (2) going to be late to school or (3) leaving early from school, it is critical that you notify the school by calling the attendance line as soon as possible at 330-253-9116.

NEW and EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY:  Students MUST sign OUT of the Attendance Office if they are leaving early from school. 

When there is inclement weather requiring us to close school:

• We will notify you via the One Call system, making automated phone calls 

• We will post to social media - Instagram and Facebook

• We will notify local news outlets

• We follow the Akron Public Schools for closings. As you know we are independent from them, and will still notify you separately, but when they close, we close.
