LEARWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL
JANUARY NEWSLETTER
WELCOME BACK
If you have any questions about high school registration, course selection, and/or College Credit Plus, please contact the high school and ask to speak with one of their counselors, as they will be able to give you information relevant for your child. See below for the HS Parent Information Night.
Information about the Washington DC trip and individual fundraising will be sent home. The Washington DC trip is a school sponsored trip, therefore, student behavior, academic engagement, and attendance starting the second semester will be used to determine if a student will be eligible to attend the trip. Additionally, ALL school fees must be paid up for a student to go on the Washington DC trip.

VAPING
Students now view Vaping as a right of passage as they get older. Vaping or possession of any devices on ALCS grounds or events is a violation of the Student Code of Conduct and is a suspendible offense. Additionally, it is illegal for a minor to use or possess any Vaping devices, and carries a ticket from the ALPD. To learn more about the effects of Vaping please read over the information below, and feel free to join us at Learwood on January 15th for a Parent Only informational night.
What it means that the Surgeon General now calls vaping an ‘epidemic’

Quote from Article:
Last month, the CDC and the FDA reported a 78 percent increase in vaping among high school students compared to last year. And yesterday, the nationwide Monitoring the Future survey reported that 21 percent of high school seniors say they vaped nicotine in the past 30 days — up from 11 percent last year. “These are simply unprecedented increases that we’re seeing,” King says.
Vaping products have seen a 600% increase in sales in the last year alone.

ALHS 8th GRADE PARENT NIGHT
On Wednesday, January 16, 2019, at 7:00 PM, Avon Lake High School will host 8th Grade Parents’ Night in the Performing Arts Center. 8th Grade Parents’ Night is for parents only. Students will have a separate opportunity to learn about the high school and what we have to offer on January 16th during the school day. The meeting will begin with a presentation by Avon Lake High School administration and guidance staff sharing information about our curriculum and the high school in general. After the presentation, parents will have an opportunity to talk with the department chairs from our various curriculum areas in the Commons. This is an excellent opportunity to start a smooth transition for your student from middle school to the high school. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact ALHS guidance counselor Michael Kaminski at 933-8135.
