Dear Lindsey Families,
Today was a very special event, Lunch with a Loved One! Thank you to the volunteers, the loved ones, and the students for making this event a success!

Teachers use assessment data to guide instruction. MAP, ELA Benchmarks, Math Benchmarks, and Checkpoints provide teachers insight as to how students are independently applying the strategies being taught in the classroom. Theses assessments will be given in the same manner as the ELA Benchmark students took prior to winter break. The tentative dates for these assessments are below.

Dress Warm for School
Winter weather has arrived and all students should come to school dressed appropriately. Remember to check the weather and dress accordingly.
Going outside is determined on a day by day basis with weather conditions considered. All students should be prepared to go outside everyday with the proper attire, which includes snow boots and snow pants if playing in the snow. Please send an extra pair of socks to keep in your child's book bag just in case snow gets into boots.
Appropriate dress for these cold days include hats, boots, snow pants, warm jackets, layers, scarves, and gloves or mittens for students to safely be outside for any period of time, whether it is walking to school, playing outside at recess or just running to and from the car at arrival and dismissal. It is important that children don't leave the house with exposed skin (ears, hands, legs, etc.) as this increases the chance of frostbite.
Please call the school if you need information or referrals to agencies that can help your family secure winter clothing. We want all students to be comfortable while enjoying these brisk winter days.
No Crocs or sweatshirts should be worn as outerwear during winter weather.
We have lots of lost and found items. Please make sure all of your child’s winter wear has his/her name on the inside.
School Fees
School fees are now overdue. Please check Infinite Campus portal to see if you have any outstanding fees with the school. If you have any questions, please contact the office at 440-729-5980. You can pay online or by check made payable to West Geauga Local Schools. Thank you,
Present and Proud: Every Day Matters for Success!
