Parent-Teacher Conferences

Again this year we will be utilizing a scheduled approach to our Parent-Teacher Conferences. Conferences will be scheduled through an online access point called PTC Fast. Parents will be able to schedule 8-minute time slots with their child’s teachers.

The scheduler opens Friday, October 21st and will close at midnight on Monday, October 31st.

School Messenger and Automated Attendance Calls

North Royalton City Schools continues to work to streamline its parent communications and notifications. Beginning this week, the District will be utilizing PowerSchool SchoolMessenger to communicate with parents.

The first component the District is utilizing is the automatic calling system for school absences. If your child is not in attendance and you have not notified your child’s school of their absence, you will receive a phone call letting you know that your child is absent and that you need to contact the school regarding your child’s attendance status.

The phone number that will appear should you receive one of these calls is:

Elementary: 440-582-9060
Middle School: 440-582-9121
High School: 440-582-7804 and 440-582-7801

Please save these numbers in your phone so that you can easily identify this call.

Please note that as this process is implemented, there may be some glitches along the way. Please notify your child’s school should you receive a call in error or would like this type of call to only go to certain contacts. It is the District’s goal to have this process be as seamless as possible.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
