Welcome to Avon Lake City Schools

Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year!

The eagerness and anticipation for the start of another year has arrived, and the entire administrative team and staff is excited to return to another year of learning and growth! The first day of school for the 2024-2025 school year for students in grades 1st through 12th is Tuesday, August 20th, and Pre-Kindergarten/Kindergarten students return on Thursday, August 22nd.

This year, the Avon Lake City Schools will be embarking on a refreshed identity invigorated and informed by a newly completed strategic plan. Our renewed mission will be to prepare students for an evolving world. We deliver student-centered learning, celebrate personalized goals, and encourage diverse career paths through collaborative partnerships with our staff, families, and community. Our vision will be dedicated to inspiring resilient students to achieve meaningful, successful, and fulfilling lives, contributing to the success of our Avon Lake community. These two core charges will drive our decision-making upon entering the upcoming school year.

To provide more context, strategic objectives have emerged from last year’s planning process, and these too will help to inform our priorities for the upcoming year. Those include creating a culture of respect and collaboration for a constructive environment. Once in that environment, we will prioritize student-centered learning, whether it be college-bound or career-ready. Finally, the physical attributes of a school district such as buildings and facilities will become a major priority as we will seek to provide infrastructure that maximizes learning, educational settings, and educational environments that enhance instruction.

We will encourage students from grades Pre-K to 12th to demonstrate character, and to be adaptable, life-ready, and set for success.

And so… SAIL ON!... These strategic priorities, along with the journey to accomplish them affirms our desire to elevate our school from excellence, to an ite district, and will ensure that our direction is appropriately aligned and successful. Let’s make the 2024-2025 school year the best one yet!
