ANNUAL REGISTRATION ~ FINAL FORMS
It's time to update your student(s) annual registration forms. We must have accurate and current contact information every year to be sure we can communicate with you about your child's learning and progress as well as in case of an illness or emergency.
We are now using FinalForms for all of our student registration, information and communication. You should have received an email with directions on how to login. For additional information and directions on how to register, visit https://www.lakewoodlocal.k12.oh.us/backtoschool.aspx.
To get started, visit https://lakewoodlocal-oh.finalforms.com/. For any additional questions, please contact Debbie Bowman, Central Registration Secretary, at 740-928-1915 or dbowman@lakewoodlocal.k12.oh.us.
STUDENT FEES
If you prefer, you can pay with cash or check as well. Make checks payable to Lakewood Local Schools and should be paid by the first week of school.
FREE & REDUCED MEALS/FEE WAIVER
The USDA discontinued its Pandemic Relief Universal FREE Meals to all students for the 2022-2023 school year, which is unfortunate since many families and students greatly benefited. Since free meals for all students has ended, your child may qualify for free or reduced prices.
Student breakfast
Regular price - $1.50; Reduced price - 30¢
Student lunch
Regular price - $3.00; Reduced price - 40¢
Milk - 50¢ for all
I encourage you to apply for Free and Reduced Price Meals if you think your child may be eligible. Look for a paper copy coming home with all students when the school year begins or click the links below to locate online and printable versions. You only need to complete one application per household.

DAILY SCHEDULE
First day for students is Thursday, 8/18/22
8:20 - Arrival~Cafeteria breakfast or to gym. (Breakfast $1.50; milk 50¢)
8:50 - Tardy after this time. Students report to the office for a late pass.
3:20 - Dismissal begins with pick-ups and first buses called.
If you plan to provide transportation to/from school for your child, please note our drop-off time is no earlier than 8:20am. If you arrive before that time, you must park in a marked space and wait. There is no parking along the south sidewalk in the morning or afternoon because long lines block buses exiting the driveway as private vehicles enter.
After 8:20, you may pull into the south driveway and along the sidewalk, stopping only to let your child exit the vehicle. JIS staff members will be on duty to help children make their way to class. After your child has safely exited your vehicle, you can turn left and exit the far south driveway along the softball field.
Families will not be able to escort students to class so it is best to say goodbye and take pictures before you arrive. Thanks in advance for your understanding in this matter.
Dismissal begins at 3:20pm for students. If you provide transportation for your child, you must park in a space in the south parking lot. Then come to the sidewalk to escort your child back to your vehicle safely. We will not send students into the parking lot without your escort. We do not load children into your vehicle at curbside since long lines block exiting bus traffic.
Please call/send a note if your child is a pickup. We check pick-ups off our list before sending them out the doors.
We'll do our best to create a smooth routine but thanks in advance for your patience in the first few days of school as we figure it all out together. Drive safely!

DETAILS GALORE!
- Birthdays: Food is not permitted to celebrate birthdays. You may send non-edible items such as pencils, stickers, bookmarks instead. Please communicate with your child's teacher beforehand. Birthdays are announced daily and students receive a birthday book.
- Dismissal Changes: Student dismissal plans or changes should be submitted to the school secretary in writing or by phone by 2:30 p.m. We can not make dismissal changes based on student request. We must have communication (note/phone call) from parents/guardians.
- Parent Newsletters: Newsletters will be sent to the email you provide in annual registration. When you update annual registration information in Final Forms, please be sure your contacts and email are accurate so you don't miss out on school communications.
- Visitors: Ring the buzzer by the main door of the building and wait there so the secretary can see you in the camera. The office staff will ask you to state your name and reason for visiting Jackson before buzzing you in. All visitors must turn right and immediately check in at the office window.
- School Arrival Time: No student should arrive at school prior to 8:20am. The school day begins promptly at 8:50am. Arrival after that time is considered tardy and will require a late pass to class from the office. We agree with you that every instructional minute counts and daily attendance is key to maximum growth. Please try to minimize early dismissals. House Bill 410 requires that schools record every minute of absence, and we want your child to have a great attendance record.
- Student Pick Up: Please have a picture ID available each time you wish to pick up your child during school hours. Our secretaries recognize many faces but not all. Those picking up students must be listed on your child’s registration or emergency information. This is for the safety and protection of your children. Thank you for your understanding.

Event dates, pricing, and pre-ordering information will be published soon!
