Dear Parent/Guardian,

I appreciate everyone who took the time to fill out the Parent Feedback Survey that will help the administration prepare for scheduling of the second semester and the rest of the 2020-2021 school year. We value your opinion on how the 2020-2021 school year has started.

After survey results are analyzed, there will be a communication distributed that will outline the district’s plans for the rest of the school year.

Also in last week’s communication was a link to the 2020-2021 second semester online learning registration form. It is important to complete this form if you would like to make a change to your current learning format for the start of the second semester. The deadline to complete this survey is Friday, November 13 at 3:00PM. Click here to access the form.

I am also excited to announce the $2,500 grant the North Ridgeville Academic Center received this week. The NRAC won the “You Belong” grant from the Mental Health Addiction and Recovery Services (MHARS) Board for the second-straight year.

The grant will be used for activities and programming to help with inclusiveness for students in grades 5-8. Last year, after receiving the grant, NRAC was able to expand the Start With Hello club, attend a leadership workshop, purchase T-shirts for students, write positive sticky notes to put on students' lockers, and host a Valentine's Day meet and greet after school.

I congratulate our NRAC 5-8 counselors Jordan Andrews, Nikki Roth, and Melissa O’Donnell, and principal Lee Armbruster for their hard work in order to make it possible for the school to receive the grant.

Please take the time to read the important information below. I hope you have a wonderful and safe weekend, and also, enjoy the unseasonably warm weather! Stay Ranger STRONG!

Sincerely,

Roxann Ramsey-Caserio
Superintendent

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.

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. If families need assistance accessing or completing this application, please reach out to the Operations Department at 440-353-1109.

Listed below is information about technology repairs:

Online and remote learning days: Technology that needs to be repaired can be dropped off at the Community Entrance of the North Ridgeville Academic Center between 9:00 am - 2:00 pm. Please stop in to complete a repair form and a loaner device will be provided. Once the device has been repaired you will be contacted by the IT department.

Hybrid Students and in-person days: Technology repairs should be given to the student’s classroom teacher for a help ticket to be created and a loaner device will be provided. Repaired devices will be returned to the classroom of the student.
