Dear Fairport Schools Community,
I am pleased to announce that Fairport Schools employees will be provided their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccination on February 25th. The Lake County Health Department has assigned the date of the vaccine. It appears that in excess of 90% of our employees have signed up to be vaccinated.
Fairport Harbor Schools will revert to remote instruction on Thursday, February 25, 2021, in order to accommodate the vaccination schedule. This group of eligible employees includes; teachers, student teachers, certified support
staff, custodians, paraprofessionals, secretaries, maintenance personnel, food service workers, coaches, administrators, and Board members.
We understand this change will result in yet another disruption for families; please bear with us so that all of our staff members who choose to vaccinate against COVID-19 have the
opportunity to do so.
Although this is a big step in helping to protect all of our K-12 school employees from COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and officials from the State of Ohio, Ohio
Department of Health, and the Lake County Board of Health maintain that those who are vaccinated can still be carriers and spreaders. Wearing masks, social distancing, and
washing/sanitizing hands will remain important for the foreseeable future.
Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Domenic Paolo
Superintendent

Dear Parents/Guardians,
The Fairport Harbor Exempted Village School District is committed to the safety and health of our students and staff. On February 19, 2021, we received notification that an individual associated with McKinley Elementary, and an individual associated with Harding MS Jr. High are either positive or presumed positive for Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Dear Skipper Families,
In Fairport Harbor, student safety is always our top priority. When our region receives a blast of winter weather it is often accompanied questions about school closing in the event of dangerous conditions.
The decision regarding school closures begins early and involves multiple factors:
Parents can always choose to keep their children home if they truly feel there is a weather-related safety risk. These absences will be recorded as excused, with make-up work provided to the student, if the Superintendent designates the day as a Severe Weather Day in the school district.
Please do not hesitate to contact the district if you require additional information in this regard.
Sincerely,
Domenic Paolo, Ph.D.
Superintendent

Power of the Pen is statewide program “devoted to excellence in creative writing at the middle school level.” Power of the Pen was first established in 2016 as a club at Fairport Harding Junior High and High School. We have expanded our middle school program to include high school writers for the past three years.
This 2020-2021 school year is our fifth season. Although many extracurriculars have changed this year due to the pandemic, the Club has moved ahead with virtual tournaments and virtual practice when we can’t be in person. We have six middle school competitors: Arielle, Lauren, Lily, Hannah, Charlie B., and Aleera. Returning at the high school level are Andrea, Charlie H., and Adara T.
This season is an especially meaningful one for Adara, who has now participated with the Club for four years, the longest competition career of any writer we have had.
We are pleased to announce the results of our first middle school Power of the Pen District Tournament on January 9, 2021. For the first time in our history, the full seventh grade team has qualified for regionals and will move forward to the Hudson Regional Tournament in March.
A huge congratulations to Lauren McKinney and Arielle Willis! In addition, Lauren placed 14th in the tournament overall, and Arielle achieved the highest tournament rank that anyone in our Club has ever received--4th place!
Our 8th grade team also did well, and had the highest collective team placement we have ever had, placing 4th out of 16 teams. Congratulations, Lily, Hannah, Charlie, and Aleera! It was a highly competitive 8th grade tournament, however, and our writers just missed regional qualifications. We are immensely proud of you, and are looking forward to continuing practice sessions and fielding a strong high school team next year!
Speaking of high school, we want to wish our high school team the best of luck as they enter their first Just Write tournament of the season on February 13th. Go Skippers.
