North Royalton City Schools Receive Renewed Purple Star Awards

The Ohio Department of Education has renewed all three of the North Royalton City School District buildings as Purple Star Schools. The Purple Star designation recognizes schools that meet important criteria for serving military-connected students and families, including ensuring students’ unique social, emotional and academic needs are being met.  The District’s buildings first received this designation in 2019 and continue to have it renewed through the years.

“We are proud to support our military families,” said Superintendent Mike Laub, North Royalton City Schools. “It is a very small token of our great appreciation for their service to our country.”

The District will be recognized at the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) Northeast Region Fall Conference on October 5.

North Royalton City Schools Host Night for Ukrainian School Families

As the war in Ukraine continues, North Royalton City Schools is doing its part to make refugees and host families feel welcome in the community. North Royalton City Schools partnered with Global Cleveland to allow refugee students and their host families to tour North Royalton Middle and High School on September 13.

Families with students in grades 5-12 met on campus, were given a tour of both the facilities, and learned information about local services and supports available to them.

Two translators as well as several North Royalton students were present to ensure communication among the tour groups, and all attendees received a welcome to the school and an introduction to staff members present. Global Cleveland stepped in as a resource for those that needed services like legal, food/clothing, health, Tri-C adult learning, and local sport/activity opportunities.

Families with students in kindergarten through fourth grade met at North Royalton Elementary School on September 15 to receive information on local services available and receive a tour of the school. Visitors were shown the main lobby where they would access the office, and after a tour of the building, went to the cafeteria for a question-and-answer period.

Depending on the families in each building, staff members answered frequently asked questions relating to the school calendar, dress code and attendance policies.

North Royalton Middle School Principal Erin Calabrese said, “We want them to see where their kids will be spending the day, so they can feel good knowing we keep them safe and happy, and to help them have a visual when their kids tell them stories of their day.”
