SINCE MY LAST SCHOOL BOARD UPDATE

The School Board met on January 18th for a Special Board Meeting. The board finished up developing its’ Board Governing Rules and Goals for 2012. Board discussed briefly the process for Superintendent and Treasurer Evaluations for this year. The Board discussed others items, and such other matters that came before the Board as well.

The Presidential Primary Elections will be held on Tuesday, March 6, 2012. Since the Board of Elections no longer automatically mails ballots applications prior to the election, voters must now request their ballot application. Please click on Primary Election for information on how to request a ballot. You can also visit the Board of Elections website for more information as well at www.boe.cuyahogacounty.us

Crystal Starfish Award Winners Announced
This past week Superintendent Ed Vittardi presented Crystal Starfish Awards to Bob Rodriquez, Valley Vista custodian and Jocelyn Stella, intervention specialist at Albion.

Bob Rodriguez received a $100 gift certificate to Westfield/Southpark Mall, a $75 gift certificate to Samurai Sushi Bar and Hibachi Steakhouse restaurant in Strongsville, and flowers, balloons, and a $50 gift certificate from Creations by Lynn and Royal Towne Florist. His colleagues in the North Royalton City Schools’ maintenance department nominated Rodriguez. He has been with the district since 2001. An excerpt from his nomination states, “Valley Vista Elementary is always clean and maintained not to mention inviting. Bob takes the initiative to care for his building and will not call our department until last resort and with that is always willing to give a helping hand. We have heard nothing but complimentary remarks from his colleagues at Valley Vista and we believe his presence has positively impacted all who enter the building.”

Jocelyn Stella received $250 from First Federal of Lakewood, to be used towards professional development as well as a $75 gift certificate to Samurai Sushi Bar and Hibachi Steakhouse restaurant in Strongsville, as well as flowers, balloons, and a $50 gift certificate from Creations by Lynn and Royal Towne Florist. A school family and her peers nominated her. She has been with the district since 2008. An excerpt from her nomination states, “The first time we met Jocelyn, we were very relieved and encouraged by her professional and kind demeanor. She had a plan, she was familiar with our child, and she had some expectations. We are amazed to see her plans come to fruition. Our child has a consistent and kind environment to learn. Jocelyn is always available—in person, by telephone, and with daily written reports. Her dedication to her students and their families is tireless and selfless and we’d like to thank her in some special way.”
Congrats to both of them and special thanks for all that they do each and every day in our school district for our students. Also thank you to business partners for their financial support for this positive program in school district!!!
