Dear Parents/Guardians,
Welcome to the North Royalton Elementary School’s Kindergarten Class, the Class of 2036! We have been busy putting together plans to make your child’s start to Kindergarten go smoothly.
The first day for Kindergarten will be Wednesday, August 30th. Please see below for screening information.
Assessment Appointments
The Ohio Department of Education mandates that all Kindergarteners must be assessed before the start of school. These assessments will help guide classroom, small group, and individual instruction, and are conducted by a Kindergarten team. Assessments will take place on Wednesday, August 23 through Tuesday, August 29. They will be approximately one hour long and will take place in your child’s class area with their team. Time slots are first come, first serve. Please call 440-582-9060 if there are any issues or if you have not yet received the Sign-up Genius link sent out last week.
Schedules
Half Day classes will begin on Wednesday, August 30. The morning session will be from 9:00 am to 11:30 am Monday through Friday. The afternoon session will be from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm Monday through Friday.
Full Day Classes begin on Wednesday, August 30. The class day will be from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm.
Transportation - ALL FAMILIES ARE STRONGLY URGED TO USE BUS TRANSPORTATION
The North Royalton City School Transportation Schedules for all students will be available on e-Link (on the school website “www.northroyaltonsd.org” under “Transportation” beginning Wednesday August 16, 2023 after 9:00 am. Any transportation information you view for your student PRIOR to Friday, August 16 is preliminary only and not final. The information on e-Link represents the status of routes at the time you are viewing them. The Transportation Office reserves the right to make changes to the schedules as we meet the changing needs of the student population.
Your child’s stop will be at a consolidated stop, unless there are no other children assigned to that stop. In that event, every effort will be made to pick your child up at your driveway. If there are other students assigned to a stop, a parent does not have to be present.
