Twinsburg City School District Is Closed, Monday, May 6th

Early this morning, Twinsburg High School suffered a lightning strike that affected the power mains. Although our staff, as well as the electricians, have been troubleshooting all day, the necessary repairs cannot begin until tomorrow. Unfortunately, this is a day-to-day situation based upon the availability of the parts that are needed for the repair.

Infrastructure in the District is set up such that internet, phones, fire alarms, suppression systems, and HVAC rely on the internet. Our buildings are networked together and the high school houses the servers. Due to the damage at Twinsburg High School, the servers are currently inoperable as the power supply has been damaged by the lightning strike. Thus, at this point, all of our buildings, including the Board of Education Office, are adversely impacted.

Therefore, the Twinsburg City School District will have a Calamity Day Tomorrow, Monday, May 6th. All District buildings will be closed on Monday, May 6th. Students who attend Cuyahoga Valley Career Center (CVCC) should report as usual to CVCC and we will provide transportation to and from CVCC as usual. Twinsburg High School seniors who are currently participating in Senior Experience should still plan to go to their job site as previously scheduled. Private and parochial school transportation will also be provided tomorrow.

Understanding that our Twinsburg High School students have prepared all weekend to take the AP exams in the areas of US Government and Politics, Art History, and Chemistry, we plan to administer these assessments at SS Cosmas & Damian School as scheduled, on Monday, May 6th. This includes students who are testing with accommodations. All students who are scheduled to take the AP exams on Monday, May 6th will meet at SS Cosmas & Damian School, 10419 Ravenna Road. High school students who are taking AP exams tomorrow should plan to arrive twenty (20) minutes prior to the start of the exam. Students who are scheduled to test at 8:00 a.m. should plan to arrive no later than 7:40 a.m. Students who are scheduled to test at 12:00 p.m. should plan to arrive no later than 11:40 a.m. If personal transportation is not available tomorrow for your son/daughter to and from SS Cosmas & Damian School for the AP exam, please email the TCSD Transportation Office at [email protected] before 7:00 a.m. on Monday so that we can make arrangements. Our phones are not working so please email.

Letter Expert Sentences

An important part of our kindergarten curriculum is to learn all the letters of the alphabet and the sounds that they make.

Each child will be assigned a letter and become the"letter expert". Letter experts will be expected to name the letter, produce it's sound, write the letter properly, and read the letter's special sentence. These sentences are related to the sound the letter makes. There is also a motion associated with the sound.

Letters will be introduced a few at a time. All letters should be introduced by December.

For fun at home, have your child read the following sentences and demonstrate the motion for the letter sound. It might be fun to have your child demonstrate the sounds for you to name the letter and visa-versa! Have fun practicing!
