Liberty Family Newsletter
August 7th, 2022
Dear Liberty Families,
We hope you all had a fantastic spring break filled with rest, relaxation, and cherished family moments. As we approach the final stretch of the school year, we're excited to share a lineup of upcoming events that promise to bring joy and excitement to our school community. From the Liberty Art Show to the enchanting melodies of the 1st-grade concert, the PTO Talent Show, Family Fun Night, and the eagerly anticipated Field Day, there's something for everyone to look forward to. We can't wait to create wonderful memories together with our students and families during these fun-filled experiences.
While we revel in the excitement of these events, we also want to emphasize the importance of maintaining routines and consistency in our children's daily lives. Consistency in learning and daily routines plays a vital role in providing stability for our students, minimizing unexpected behaviors, and fostering a positive learning environment. Your continued support in reinforcing these routines at home is greatly appreciated and contributes to your child's academic success.
In addition to our upcoming events, we kindly ask for your participation in two important surveys. The Safe Routes to School survey and the Aramark food services survey aim to gather feedback on your child's route to school and our food service program, respectively. Your input is invaluable in helping us improve our services and ensure the safety and well-being of our students. Each survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete, and we encourage you to take this opportunity to share your thoughts and suggestions.
Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in your child's education journey. Together, we can continue to create a nurturing and enriching environment where every child thrives.
Safe Routes to School: Caregiver Survey
Dear Parent or Caregiver,
Your child’s school wants to learn your thoughts about children walking and biking to school. This survey will take about 5 - 10 minutes to complete. We ask that each family complete only one survey per school your children attend. If more than one child attends the same school, please fill out the survey for the child with the next birthday from today’s date. Your responses will be kept confidential and neither your name nor your child’s name will be associated with any results.
Thank you for participating in this survey!
Aramark Food Services Survey
Aramark is pleased to present the Student ViewPOINT survey to gather valuable feedback from students and parents. The survey is available in two versions: one for middle and high school students and another for parents of elementary-level students. Parents can take the elementary-level survey with or without their children, and their feedback will aid us in enhancing our food service program. We look forward to hearing from you!
Please note the information below:
When: The survey will run for five weeks, from April 8 to May 13, 2024.
Please find the following important information regarding the food service program survey. The survey is an electronic form that can be filled out easily on any device and takes less than 10 minutes to complete. Your participation is essential as it will help us to improve the food service program. To access the survey, please click on www.studentVP.com and enter the passcode '2024' when prompted for security purposes. For elementary students, a letter with a QR code is attached that you can send home, share via email, or post on your class DOJO. Please share the letter and/or the flyer containing the QR code with middle school students to help spread the word. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support.
High School students will see this QR code on the TVs in the cafeteria, and flyers will be handed out to them.
We sincerely hope you will join us in this important initiative to help us enhance our service to North Ridgeville students. Your feedback is invaluable to us. If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me at lesliemckimmie@nrcs.net or 440-353-1138.
