District Newsletters
Chardon Schools produces a quarterly printed newsletter and a quarterly electronic newsletter. Both newsletters — Open Lines and Topper Talk — are designed to help keep the school community informed of the latest news from Chardon Schools.
The Open Lines spring 2022 edition was delivered to nearly 11,000 home and business mailboxes the week of April 4. This newsletter is typically a six-page print publication with key information from the district’s administrators while also featuring highlights of student achievements. Community members are encouraged to check their Chardon home or business mailbox for the spring 2022 Open Lines.
The Topper Talk e-newsletter, which provides a more in-depth publication presented in an easy-to-skim, bullet point format, delves into news from all five of the district’s schools, as well as administrative and departmental updates and special features. Community members can sign up for a free subscription to the Topper Talk for auto-delivery through email.
Visit the communications department page of the district website athttps://www.chardonschools.org for the Topper Talk sign-up link and to access the latest and archived editions of both Topper Talk and Open Lines, among other communications resources.
Questions and feedback can be directed to communications director Kelly Misch via email to kelly.misch@chardonschools.org or by calling 440-286-0409.
Happy Retirement, Mrs. Schlappal
No April fooling — the first day of April marked the start of the much-deserved retirement chapter for Rose Schlappal, a Chardon Schools bus driver who has served the district since August 1998. Chardon Schools’ April 1 note of gratitude to Mrs. Schlappal on the district’s social media platforms generated no shortage of notes of appreciation from the community to Mrs. Schlappal.
“One of the best bus drivers ever,” wrote Chardon High School junior Justin Friedman on Twitter. “Gonna miss when she says hi to me when I get on the bus to go home from CEVEC. I was so thankful to have her as my bus driver. Especially having me, my brother and sister. Thank you for being a nice person, and we will miss you.”
Mrs. Laurie Bevington, who retired from the Chardon Schools Transportation department earlier this school year commented on Facebook:
“Congrats Rose! You are truly the best example of what a bus driver is! You are so caring and involved with your kids! Really enjoyed being your aide!”
