Hello AEA Families!!
BUS RIDERS:
All buses are running and we are doing well getting students on and off buses.
A special note for 7th - 9th Grader Parents: Please be sure to contact me for the Berea buses or the Strongsville School District Transportation Dept. for Strongsville residents to set up buses for Oct 29th when 7th -9th graders return to school.
THERE IS MORE INFORMATION FOR ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL BELOW IN THE ARRIVAL/DISMISSAL SECTION OF THE NEWSLETTER.
Thank you all who worked so quickly to complete the needed paperwork and immunizations for this fall. We do need to remind you that ALL required Enrollment Forms and Important Documents are now PAST DUE. All required paperwork including the $50.00 Instructional Fee are past due. All updated Immunization records are also past due. There are, unfortunately no exceptions as to when these immunizations can be completed. According to the CDC, they are still due 15 days after the start of the School "year". We will allow this week, Oct. 5th - Oct. 9th for anyone still needing to complete these Immunizations or their child will not be allowed to attend Albert Einstein Classes and will be marked unexcused absent until they are completed and turned into our office.

ARRIVAL AND DISSMAL FOR 2020 - 2021
ARRIVAL:
Cars and buses will enter the school grounds from Albion Rd.
Buses have priority and will be waved to the front of the car line stopping near the bus circle.
Students will use either the Blue Door (Main Door) or the Green Door (commonly called the Kindergarten Door) depending on which homeroom teacher they have.
Students should exit cars on the passenger side to avoid step in traffic patterns. They will line up distance and wait to have their temperatures taken and be sent to homeroom. Homeroom teachers will greet them at their classrooms.
DISMISSAL:
Dismissal will be very similar, buses again will have the priority.
Cars will line up the same as arrival and students will be monitored to their cars. Staff will check with parents for student names or name and radio into school to have your student(s) come to the car.
Cars will exit as they do for drop off.
REMINDER:
If a child needs picked up unexpectedly, you must call the school, then wait outside for the child to be escorted to you.
Visitors are not permitted in the school when students are here unless previously arranged and for special circumstances. THIS IS DIRECTED TO REDUCE THE RISK OF COVID SPREAD TO STUDENTS. THANK YOU.
Kickboard Leaderboard!
Please celebrate our leaders demonstrating positive behavior this past week!
