Our lost and found has begun to overflow with items. Most items include hoodies, shoes, jackets and supplies. Please help us by reminding your child to check out the lost and found if they are missing items. It is located in our cafeteria beneath the American flag.
We will also have items in our lobby for parents to claim on Thursday evening during Parent-Teacher Conferences.
Parents who are picking up their children after school, please be sure to pull all the way up to the main doorway entrance of our building along the sidewalk curb near the bike racks.
Do not have your child meet you or walk into in the parking lot as this can create unsafe conditions for students walking into moving traffic.
Our parking lot traffic is usually less busy about ten minutes after dismissal. Please note that the majority of our parking lot is one-way-only traffic flow.
Due to Royalview Elementary School's dismissal time being so close to ours, we are asking parents not to arrive any earlier than 2:55 PM to prevent overlap and back-up of traffic. If you must arrive earlier than 2:55 PM, please park in the WWMS lot and then wait until Royalview's dismissal traffic has cleared. Our dismissal bell rings at 3:10 PM.
One parent from each family should have received a SnapCode via email from Willoughby-Eastlake Schools in early August that will allow you to update all of your child’s contact, medical and other essential information. This information is your way to notify us as to who has your permission to pick your child up from school if needed, your child’s medical conditions, allergies, required medications and emergency contact information.
Additionally, there are several online forms to review in regards to photo consent, internet usage and Student Code of Conduct.
Please complete this information promptly—help us keep your child safe while at school! If you do not receive an email with your code, please contact our main office at 440-943-2950.
It is important that this information is updated annually.

Remote learning is not an option for this school year as classes are not live-streamed.
Absences for Appointments: Please send a doctor's note to the school office for each doctor's visit so that we can properly code the absence as a medical absence. If picking your child up for an appointment, a parent or guardian must enter the school to sign their child out.
Family Vacations: Please contact our school office if you are planning to have your child absent from school due to a family vacation. A vacation form must be signed by a parent or guardian prior to the start of absence. Please alert our school as soon as you are aware of the approaching vacation so that teachers can be prepared to assign work in-advance; preferably at least one week. We kindly ask that families try their best to schedule vacations during school breaks.
Homework Requests: Requests for homework can be made for a student that has missed three or more days of school. Please allow at least one full school day for teachers and staff to arrange assignments. Please contact our main office to place nay homework requests. Homework can be picked up at our main office window.
If you believe your child is experiencing challenges in terms of their mental well-being, it is important to reach out to your principal. To meet your child’s needs, it’s essential to collaborate with the principal and school personnel to explore resources and services available at school. In addition to Crossroads Counselors, the District also has family liaisons and guidance counselors who can provide needed interventions and support.
Our Crossroads Health providers may be embedded in the classroom providing support and intervention on a large-scale for all students in the room. For students who may need more personalized care, we offer the opportunity for them to meet with the Crossroads Health counselor individually or in a small group.
If you do NOT want your child to be considered for individual, small group, or whole classroom support and intervention, please complete the Opt-Out Form below and return this form to your student’s guidance counselor or principal.
