For more information check out the district website at www.northroyaltonsd.org 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.
