Message from the Clinic
A Reminder of the Morning Drop-Off Procedure
- If you are dropping your child(ren) off at the main entrance door, please have your child(ren) exit the car on the curb side. If your child needs assistance or needs extra time to exit the car, then we ask that you use the front circle after 7:45 a.m. If the parent needs to exit the car then he/she must also use the front circle and not exit the car by the main entrance door.
- You are not permitted to pass cars that are dropping their child(ren) off at the main entrance door. Please wait patiently in line as you proceed around the back parking lot to exit the school grounds.
- Remember it is a school parking lot, so please drive slowly when entering and exiting and be aware of pedestrians.

School Fees
A small number of fees for the 2017/18 school year are still outstanding. Parents can log into Infinite Campus Parent Portal to view your student's fees; select "Fees" tab. You can pay your fees by selecting the "Payments" tab in the Parent Portal. If you need assistance logging on to the Portal, email: ichelp@mayfieldschools.org. Checks and money orders may also be sent to the school office. The fees are: K - $25 / Grades 1 - 5 - $42. If you have any questions, please call the school office (440-995-7500).
Absence Notification
Your child’s well being throughout the day is very important to us so we ask, whenever your child will be absent or tardy, that you communicate this information to school so we know not to expect him/her. All student absences (at anytime, day or night) are to be called into the office at 995-7500 before 8:30am. Please give the student’s name and the reason for the absence; i.e., illness (also include the child’s symptoms), funeral, out of town, or doctor’s appointment.
