NRCS District Update

Message from Superintendent
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Veterans Day was this past Wednesday, November 11, and on behalf of the North Ridgeville City Schools, I want to express my sincere gratitude to our veterans. We appreciate the sacrifices they made for our country.
I am asking you for your help to keep our schools open. Please follow appropriate COVID protocols as described by the Center for Disease Control. In addition, please avoid unnecessary group gatherings especially with individuals you do not see on a regular basis.
These are the proven parameters to keep everyone safe, healthy and in school.
Like many districts, we are facing challenges finding qualified substitutes to staff our buildings. Slowing community spread is imperative to keeping our buildings properly staffed to provide consistent high-quality curriculum and a safe educational environment.
I can not thank you all enough for the efforts you have made to keep our schools safe, healthy and academically focused. I am especially proud of our staff for their diligence with the COVID protocols, and their willingness to adjust their duties to keep our schools open.
As cases of COVID-19 rise in the state of Ohio, community members have asked about the cleaning procedures in our buildings. That information is available in this week’s communication. There are also tips from Lorain County Public Health on how to stay safe during the holiday season.
I appreciate you taking the time to read this week’s communication, which is filled with vital information, as well as good news that occurred in the district. I hope you have a safe and enjoyable weekend. Stay Ranger STRONG!
Sincerely,
Superintendent

Positive COVID-19 Reporting
After receiving that notification, the school will notify other parents and guardians about that case in writing, without releasing protected health information. As a district, we must also notify Lorain County Public Health within 24 hours. To learn more about what constitutes close contact and how the schools work together with Lorain County Public Health please click here to see an informational video.
Daily Health Assessments
As always, do not send your child to school if they are sick and have any of the symptoms listed above. If your child develops any of the symptoms listed above we are required to send them home from school.
Weekly COVID-19 Update
In an effort to be transparent, the North Ridgeville City Schools will provide a weekly total of our positive case counts of COVID-19. Since last week’s communication, there have been 15 additional reported positive cases in the district. To date, the district has a total of 42 documented positive/probable reports since the beginning of the school year. When positive cases are confirmed, families impacted will receive an email notification if their child shared a learning space with an individual who tested positive for COVID-19.

Free Breakfast and Lunch
Any student who wishes to receive breakfast and/or lunch can do so at no cost. Families still have the option to send students with packed meals, but the district encourages everyone to take advantage of this opportunity.
The district will have meal pick up on Tuesdays and Thursdays in front of North Ridgeville High School between 8:30 am -10:30 am. Your student does not need to be present to pick up the meals.
Students that are enrolled in the hybrid learning option now have the opportunity to take home meals at the end of the school day. Meals will be provided to take home on Tuesdays for Group A students, Wednesdays for high school students, and Fridays for Group B students.
If you qualify or think you may qualify for free or reduced lunch, please still apply to the program. Information about free and reduced lunch can be found on the food service page on the district website.
