The Northwood Elementary Connection
August 2021 Newsletter
From the Desk of Principal Miranda Roscoe
As principal of Northwood Elementary school, I would like to welcome all students and their families to the 2021-2022 school year. The staff of Northwood elementary school is excited to partner with you in ensuring your child receives a quality education in a nurturing environment. We are busy preparing for the arrival of students on September 7th.
Your child's teacher will contact you within the next few days to introduce themselves. We have discontinued the practice of displaying the class lists at the front doors.
Please call the school office at (440)284-8014 with questions or concerns. Mrs. Tara Harris and Mrs. Becky Kovacs will be able to assist you, or transfer the call to me if necessary.
Sincerely,

Elyria Schools Covid 19 Safety Precautions
COVID-19 safety precautions will remain a priority in our daily happenings.
Custodians and maintenance staff will place utmost emphasis on sanitization of school buildings, adhering to the cleaning guidelines outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It's strongly recommended that masks continue to be worn, but the school district will not mandate it at this time. The exception to this is for bus riders; masks are required on public transportation per the CDC.
Ohio health professionals are advising students and staff who are unvaccinated to wear masks in the classroom. We will continue closely monitoring COVID-19 developments in our community and revise our plans if necessary.
A critical reminder: Students and staff should not come to school if they are showing ANY signs of illness, such as headache or fever, cough, sneezing, shortness of breath, stomachache, etc.
This cannot be overemphasized: Please do not send your child to school feeling ill. Call the school office (440 284-8014) if your child will be absent.
The CDC provides excellent guidance on symptoms of illness and symptoms of COVID-19.
