Wellness checks should be done prior to your student’s arrival at school each morning. Please review the District’s Student Health & Safety Guidelines for more information.


School Supplies

Families should plan for their student to bring any school supplies provided to them upon returning to onsite learning. This includes Chromebook, charging cord, headset and computer mouse, as well as art and classroom learning supplies provided to students. Woodbury and Middle School students will use these supplies in the classroom and will bring them home for use during their weeks offsite.


Transportation

The Shaker Heights City School District’s walk-zone mapping boundaries have been updated to reflect a one-mile walk zone around school buildings for all students in grades 5-8. The District also provides transportation for all students with physical or cognitive disabilities that make walking impossible or unsafe


For families who receive transportation, information regarding receiving your student’s bus stop location and times will be provided soon.
