Attention Seniors!!

Do you want your Senior Picture in the 2023 Yearbook?

Then you must take action.

Seniors who want their senior picture to appear in the 2023 yearbook must have their free picture taken by Prestige Portraits before December 16, 2022.

Seniors who have not gotten their yearbook picture taken by Prestige Portraits during the summer high school sessions or at the studio will have to sign up in the main office for a picture session on October 28th. This will be the final date to get a senior yearbook picture taken outside of their studio.

Students should make an appointment by stopping by the main office window or by calling the activities office at 440-582-7821.

After the October 28th in-school opportunity, students will need to make an appointment at Prestige's studio to have their free senior yearbook picture taken.

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

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.
