North Royalton City Schools Celebrates Middle Level Education Month
At the March 14 Board of Education meeting, a proclamation was read declaring March as National Middle Level Education Month, recognizing the importance of middle level education and honoring the contributions of those who educate this unique age group. Jeff Cicerchi, principal of North Royalton Middle School, shared how schools that educate middle grade students play a critical function in the nation’s educational system in that they are responsible for educating young adolescents between the ages of 10 and 15 (grades 5-9). “Other than the first year and a half of a person’s life, the middle level years mark the greatest amount of change that a person experiences,” said Cicerchi. “The ability for our teachers and staff to support these changes in our students while creating a school atmosphere where each student learns and grows at his or her own rate is certainly something to be celebrated.”

North Royalton Middle School Science Olympiad Teams Rank Second in Regional Competition
The North Royalton Middle School (NRMS) Science Olympiad Teams competed in the Science Olympiad regional competition on Saturday, March 5 at St. Ignatius High School. Seven teams competed in the competition. North Royalton had two teams that competed and they came in second place.
Each team competed in 21 different events. Topics of the events, that tested both knowledge and building skills, included food science, solar system, crime busters, dynamic planets, sounds of music, bridges, mousetraps, ping pong parachute, anatomy and physiology, meteorology, disease, and ornithology.
Science Olympiad is under the direction of Nick Wysocki, Joe Simonek, Lori Kryzwicki and Tricia Cline.
“We are so proud of these students,” said Cline. “This year has been difficult with canceled practices due to weather and of course, Covid! These students are dedicated and didn't give up. We also couldn't have done this well without the help of some dedicated high school students and parent volunteers.”
The state competition on April 9 will be virtual. The NRMS teams will compete from the middle school. All build events will be recorded and students will test right from the classrooms.

Positive Calls Home to Parents Brighten Days at North Royalton Elementary School
As a way to continue to enhance the culture at North Royalton Elementary School, students are now being recognized for their achievements and rewarded with the opportunity to join the principal in making a positive phone call home.
“I absolutely love it when our Bears are so eager to share news about their positive behavior at school with someone special at home,” said Principal Kirk Pavelich. “There literally is nothing better than seeing the students light up when making these calls and hearing the pride in the voices of the family members on the other end of the line.”
Pavelich has been eager to implement this practice at North Royalton Elementary School after reading the book Eyes on Culture: Multiply Excellence in Your School by Emily Paschall. In the book, Paschall, an elementary administrator in Alabama, details how positive phone calls home quickly became something she loved, along with her students and their parents.
“It might only take a few minutes to make these phone calls,” Pavelich said, “but their impact will last a lifetime.” Residents can see pictures and follow these positive phone call moments on the North Royalton Elementary School Twitter feed at @NoRoElem.
Some examples…
“Second graders Taha and Jack have been a huge help to aides as they gather recess items on a daily basis. They are sweet, kind and respectful and deserve a huge shout out!”
“Mark truly exemplifies what the message of ‘The Bear Way’ conveys! He comes in each day smiling and usually will say, ‘Today is a great day to learn something new!’ He follows directions, listens carefully, and truly strives to learn all he can.”
“When Darren, a second grader, carried a notebook to ‘officiate’ at recess, he garnered so much respect from his friends that he decided to dress the part!”
