North Royalton City Schools ask parents to complete bus survey
The North Royalton City Schools Transportation Department is asking parents of both private and pubic school children to complete an on-line survey of their bus usage for the 2012-2013 school year. Efficiency is very important including helping with traffic congestion and remaining fiscally responsible to taxpayers. As the district begins to look at transportation routes for the 2012-2013 school year, they are asking for parents' help in improving their efficiency and creating a positive and safe experience for each child.
The survey can be completed by going to:http://bit.ly/NR_bus_survey.
Parents are asked to complete the survey by May 1, 2012. If families have more than one student, they are asked to fill out a separate survey for each student.
By completing this survey, the transportation department wants to stress that parents are in no way giving up their student's opportunity to ride the bus. Parents simply need to call the Transportation Department at (440) 582-9051 if they find that their student is in need of a ride for a day, a week or the rest of the year.

SINCE MY LAST SCHOOL BOARD UPDATE
At the March 27th SCENE Meeting the Shape Our Schools Committee gave a presentation on North Royalton City School District Facilities. Shape our Schools Committee has been meeting for more than a year examining all of the school facilities and will be presenting a report of their finds and their vision for the future to the community. To see there full presentation click on this link below:
http://www.northroyaltonsd.org/public/files/SCENE032712.pdf
Please feel free to e-mail or call me to let me know what you think about the recommendations made by the committee.
On March 28th attended the Ohio School Boards Association’s State Legislative Conference in Columbus. I had an opportunity to meet with the Legislative Aides for State Senator Tom Patton, State Representative Marlene Anielski, and State Representative Mike Dovilla to discuss the impact of the Mid-Biennial Budget Review on Public Education and other pending legislation.
Superintendent Ed Vittardi Announced last week the following additional administrative changes in Press Release below:
The North Royalton City Schools has continued transitioning its administrative positions for the next school year and is pleased to announce that Julie Bogden, current principal of the Early Childhood Center, will become the new principal of Albion Elementary. The district also announced today that Mike McGinnis, a current assistant principal at North Royalton High School, has accepted the position of principal of the Early Education Center. Our district’s eyes are always set on making the best possible decisions for the community and its students. We are committed to providing all of our schools, its students, staff, and parents with the highest quality administrator that truly understands our community of learners, and the vision and mission of the North Royalton City Schools.
“I am very excited about this new opportunity,” said McGinnis. “It is great to be able to return to my origins of elementary level education. Prior to moving to the high school, I started my career in a private elementary school for students with learning disabilities. I then began my 18-year tenure with the North Royalton City Schools at Royal View Elementary. I have always viewed Early Childhood education as vital to our student’s growth and development. My firsthand knowledge of the needs of early intervention for those students enrolled in our pre-school program in particular will set the tone for all of their education to come. I look forward to working with the fantastic students, staff, and parents at the ECC.”
“I am honored to be the next principal of Albion Elementary and be a part of the collaborative philosophy and focus on children shared by the staff,” said Bogden. “With my knowledge in elementary education ranging from my experience teaching first and second grade in Green Bay City Schools, to teaching first grade in Avon Lake, along with being a curriculum specialist, I am truly passionate about working closely with teachers and students directly to allow them to reach their maximum potential. I have had the privilege of working with the ECC staff for the past six years. They are a collaborative group of teachers who challenge themselves instructionally to insure that children are receiving an excellent foundation of learning. This continuity among the North Royalton School community is what makes our district a rewarding place to be and one in which truly provides for our children and their future.”
The 2012-2013 North Royalton City Schools’ Principal Team will be:
North Royalton High School Principal – Mr. Mic Becerra
North Royalton Middle School Principal – Mrs. Melissa Vojta
Royal View Elementary – Mr. Kirk Pavelich
Albion Elementary – Mrs. Julie Bogden
Valley Vista Elementary – Mr. Jeff Hill
Early Childhood Center – Mr. Mike McGinnis
These changes, coupled with last week’s principal announcements, represent no additional administrative costs to the district. We have an outstanding administrative team, and when we have openings, we look to those talents first. We are very pleased with all of these transitions and know that the students, staff, parents, and community will be pleased with the new leadership in these buildings.
Cleveland Browns Charity Game
Home Team Marketing (HTM) and the Cleveland Browns today announced the opponents in the 2012 High School Football Charity Game at Cleveland Browns Stadium, on Saturday, August 25th. The doubleheader will feature match ups between rivals North Royalton and Brecksville-Broadview Heights High Schools, followed by defending Division III State Champion Youngstown Cardinal Mooney and Division I State Champion Cleveland St. Ignatius High School. The first game will kick-off at 2pm, followed by 7pm for the second game. Tickets for the Charity Game will be $10 in advance and $12 on game day. Proceeds will benefit each of the four participating schools and the Cleveland Browns Foundation. Tickets will be available for purchase through the respective high schools or the Cleveland Browns Stadium Ticket Office in May. One ticket will be good for both games.
ECC Lil’ Bears PTA Playground Project
The ECC Lil’ Bears PTA is planning on purchasing a play structure that will allow 25-30 kids access to play at a given time. The structure will include at least 1 slide, currently missing from the current playground equipment. Another component would be a molded climbing wall that leads to a platform. The overall unit will also include 2-3 interactive panels like a driver’s panel with steering wheel, mazes or perhaps talking tubes. So far the PTA has already raised about $5K which is a great start to their goal of $8K. But they still need to raise more to reach their final goal. If you would like to make a donation to the ECC playground, checks can be written to: LIL’ BEARS PTA and send it into school 9543 Broadview Road, Broadview Heights, Ohio 44147 in an envelope marked PLAYGROUND DONATION.

SINCE MY LAST SCHOOL BOARD UPDATE
The School Board met on March 12th for its’ March Regular School Board Meeting. Some highlights from the meeting. School Board Member Mrs. Dolezal and I were presented with the Ohio School Boards Association’s 2012 Award of Achievement. The High School Gymnastics and Wrestling Teams were recognized for their accomplishments as state qualifiers. Middle School students were recognized for their achievements at the Equations Competition. School Board President Dr. John Kelly announced that the Board will be audio recording all future board meetings to also include Special Board Meetings/Board Work Sessions as a pilot program that the board will evaluate whether or not it should continue the practice after period time. Board approved various 2011-2012 appropriations adjustments to the General Fund. The Board approved renewal of various administrative contracts. The Board approved accepting the retirement of Dr. Andrea Lasko the Principal of Royal View Elementary School. Board approved various personal service contracts. The Board approved the award of roof replacement bid High School (Media Center/Industrial Arts) and Albion Elementary and Alternate 1A. The Board approved also various other agenda items, and such other matters that came before the Board. The Board also went into a brief executive session to discuss personnel.
On March 14th Superintendent Ed Vittardi announced some Administration Retirements/Changes in the school district. Here is a copy of his announcement:
The North Royalton City Schools announced the retirement of Dr. Andrea Lasko, principal of Royal View Elementary, at the March Board of Education meetingMonday night. We would like to take the opportunity to again thank Dr. Lasko for her years of outstanding service to education and particularly her years of superior service to the staff, students and parents of Royal View Elementary. She will truly be missed. Dr. Lasko was principal at Royal View Elementary for 15 years. The district also announced today that Mr. Kirk Pavelich, principal of North Royalton Middle School, has been named the new principal at Royal View Elementary for the 2012-13 school year. An outstanding principal at North Royalton Middle School, Kirk has in the same token realized his true passion lies in having numerous and meaningful relationships with students and staff in a building that is small enough to allow this relationship building to be optimized. We are very excited that he will be our new principal at Royal View. These events lead to the available position of principal at North Royalton Middle School. Mrs. Melissa Vojta, as principal at Albion Elementary School, has long been recognized for her outstanding performance as a middle school teacher, middle school administrative intern in North Royalton, and elementary principal in Avon Lake as well as North Royalton. Melissa has a great passion for Albion Elementary and the success of its students and staff. She also has deep roots at the middle level and specifically with NRMS. These circumstances provided her the avenue to apply her years of successful school administration to the middle level, where she began her career. Therefore, it gives us great pleasure to name Mrs. Melissa Vojta as the North Royalton Middle School principal for next school year. Announcing these moves at this point allow the principals to begin planning their transition to their new and exciting opportunities with their students and staff.
Finally, this creates the available position of principal at Albion Elementary. We are committed to providing Albion Elementary School, its students, staff, and parents with the highest quality administrator that truly understands our community of learners, and the vision and mission of the North Royalton City Schools. We will begin that process in the very near future with a posting to interested candidates. One thing I am assured of is that with these changes, we will continue to move forward as a district with outstanding building leadership for the greatest staff and students anywhere.
ECC Lil’ Bears PTA Playground Project
The ECC Lil’ Bears PTA is planning on purchasing a play structure that will allow 25-30 kids access to play at a given time. The structure will include at least 1 slide, currently missing from the current playground equipment. Another component would be a molded climbing wall that leads to a platform. The overall unit will also include 2-3 interactive panels like a driver’s panel with steering wheel, mazes or perhaps talking tubes. So far the PTA has already raised about $5K which is a great start to their goal of $8K. But they still need to raise more to reach their final goal. If you would like to make a donation to the ECC playground, checks can be written to: LIL’ BEARS PTA and send it into school 9543 Broadview Road, Broadview Heights, Ohio 44147 in an envelope marked PLAYGROUND DONATION.

Board Update
Good Evening:
We are all very saddened by the tragedy that happened at Chardon High School this past week. I just like to extend my thoughts and prayers to the entire Chardon Community as they heal. Some of you might be interested in doing something for the victims of this terrible tragedy. The United Way of Geauga County is overseeing the Chardon Healing Fund that will raise money for the victims' families. The fund has already raised $150,000. In addition the Chardon Angels of Hope has set up a fund at Huntington Bank for donations for the families. If you are interested in making a donation they can be made through any Huntington Bank branch.
Also here is a link to Superintendent Ed Vittardi’s remarks about this tragedy and the
safety procedures that are in place here in the North Royalton City School District:
http://www.northroyaltonsd.org/public/files/ChardonFeb2012.pdf
SINCE MY LAST SCHOOL BOARD UPDATE
High School Threat
On February 29th NRHS had a threat that was unsubstantiated. Just in case you did not know about it, I wanted share with you Superintendent Ed Vittardi’s statement regarding the incident:
Good morning. This morning, North Royalton High School received a tip from a student of a potential threat. The North Royalton Police were called and the building was immediately locked down. The threat of a gun, weapon or other harm to students was quickly found to be unsubstantiated. Again- the threat was unsubstantiated.
We are vigilant in our efforts to keep all students and staff safe and commend the student and parents that were involved in this tip. We also continue to work in conjunction with the North Royalton Police Department to keep everyone safe.
I just like to thank our Superintendent, Administrative Team, High School Staff, and North Royalton Police Department on how excellent they handled things. Safety and Security is our number one priority here in the North Royalton City School District. If you ever hear something or see something that doesn’t look right please report it to the proper authorities to investigate.
ECC Lil’ Bears PTA Playground Project
The ECC Lil’ Bears PTA is planning on purchasing a play structure that will allow 25-30 kids access to play at a given time. The structure will include at least 1 slide, currently missing from the current playground equipment. Another component would be a molded climbing wall that leads to a platform. The overall unit will also include 2-3 interactive panels like a driver’s panel with steering wheel, mazes or perhaps talking tubes. So far the PTA has already raised about $5K which is a great start to their goal of $8K. But they still need to raise more to reach their final goal. If you would like to make a donation to the ECC playground, checks can be written to: LIL’ BEARS PTA and send it into school 9543 Broadview Road, Broadview Heights, Ohio 44147 in an envelope marked PLAYGROUND DONATION.

“Putting Students First”
We are all very saddened by the tragedy that happened at Chardon High School this past week. I just like to extend my thoughts and prayers to the entire Chardon Community as they heal. Some of you might be interested in doing something for the victims of this terrible tragedy. The United Way of Geauga County is overseeing the Chardon Healing Fund that will raise money for the victims' families. The fund has already raised $150,000. In addition the Chardon Angels of Hope has set up a fund at Huntington Bank for donations for the families. If you are interested in making a donation they can be made through any Huntington Bank branch.
Also here is a link to Superintendent Ed Vittardi’s remarks about this tragedy and the
safety procedures that are in place here in the North Royalton City School District:

SINCE MY LAST SCHOOL BOARD UPDATE
High School Threat
On February 29th NRHS had a threat that was unsubstantiated. Just in case you did not know about it, I wanted share with you Superintendent Ed Vittardi’s statement regarding the incident:
Good morning. This morning, North Royalton High School received a tip from a student of a potential threat. The North Royalton Police were called and the building was immediately locked down. The threat of a gun, weapon or other harm to students was quickly found to be unsubstantiated. Again- the threat was unsubstantiated.
We are vigilant in our efforts to keep all students and staff safe and commend the student and parents that were involved in this tip. We also continue to work in conjunction with the North Royalton Police Department to keep everyone safe.
I just like to thank our Superintendent, Administrative Team, High School Staff, and North Royalton Police Department on how excellent they handled things. Safety and Security is our number one priority here in the North Royalton City School District. If you ever hear something or see something that doesn’t look right please report it to the proper authorities to investigate.
ECC Lil’ Bears PTA Playground Project
The ECC Lil’ Bears PTA is planning on purchasing a play structure that will allow 25-30 kids access to play at a given time. The structure will include at least 1 slide, currently missing from the current playground equipment. Another component would be a molded climbing wall that leads to a platform. The overall unit will also include 2-3 interactive panels like a driver’s panel with steering wheel, mazes or perhaps talking tubes. So far the PTA has already raised about $5K which is a great start to their goal of $8K. But they still need to raise more to reach their final goal. If you would like to make a donation to the ECC playground, checks can be written to: LIL’ BEARS PTA and send it into school 9543 Broadview Road, Broadview Heights, Ohio 44147 in an envelope marked PLAYGROUND DONATION.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact:
