It's a Great Day to be a Pioneer
FALL FAVORITES & A GENEROUS GIFT
Wow, what a surprise. The Elyria High School music directors and their musical ensembles receive dozen of requests each year to perform at various events throughout the city and the Greater Cleveland area. They graciously accept as many as their schedules permit, but it came as quite an expected surprise when a representative group of the Elyria High School Marching Band performed at the September 17th Grand Opening event for new Elyria Get Go Market Cafe. Representatives from Get Go presented a $5,000 donation to Elyria High School to support our student initiatives. THANK YOU!!!

BE READY...BE RESPONSIBLE...BE RESPECTFUL
For years, the students of Elyria High School have demonstrated exemplar qualities as we regularly practice health and safety measures throughout the school year. We are so proud and appreciative of the care and attention everyone has taken in following the four (4) essential recommendations from the CDC and local health experts (1. Wearing a Mask, 2. Washing Your Hands Frequently, 3. Maintaining Social Distancing, and 4. Staying Home When Feeling Ill).
As required by Ohio law, we practiced our first fire drills with each of our in-person cohorts on Sept. 15th and Sept. 18th respectively. While we'll continue monthly fire drills, we will also begin practicing additional safety drills and protocols including off-site evacuations, lockdowns and severe weather over the next several weeks.
The appropriate accommodations have been made to many of the drills to ensure they comply with State guidelines while operating under the circumstances of Covid-19. One accommodation is a change to the off-site evacuation locations utilized this school year.
Family Reunification/Off-Site Evacuation for the 2020-2021 school year :
- 9th Graders: St. Mary's - 320 Middle Avenue
- 10th Graders: Hamilton Elementary - 1215 Middle Avenue
- 11th Graders: Holly Hall/YWCA - 318 West Avenue
- 12th Graders: Wesleyan Village - Cascade Room - 807 West Avenue
In a typical school year, our reunification sites would consist of students (9-12) assigned to the same team (1-4) evacuation site. Since the building is currently arranged by grade level pods, we will keep grade levels together eliminating the need to mix grade level groupings.
Thank you to the Elyria High School students and staff for continuing to demonstrate the meaning of Be Ready...Be Responsible...Be Respectful...through your daily actions.
