Dear Parent or Guardian:
The John T. Nichols, Jr. Middle School is eager to announce its recent partnership with Massachusetts Safe Routes to School (SRTS). SRTS is a federally funded initiative through the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. Over 660 elementary and middle schools throughout the Commonwealth participate in this initiative with the goal of encouraging students to walk and bike to school safely.
Our first step in this new partnership is to assess walking conditions to and from the John T. Nichols Middle School. The survey is online and will take less than 3 minutes to complete. The site is: http://masaferoutessurvey.org and then there are two drop-down items where you select Middleborough for school district and then our school, John T. Nichols, Jr. Middle School.
I have also attached a hardcopy version of the parent survey, provided through SRTS. This survey will allow us to understand how each student gets to and from school, in order to plan safe and healthy transportation options for all students.
Please take a moment to fill out this voluntary survey as we work together to increase the safety, health, and physical activity of all of our students. Surveys can be filled out electronically or on the attached hard copy, to be returned to me in the Main Office by May 31st, 2015.
Any questions, comments, or concerns, please let me know.
Thank you,
Martin R. Geoghegan
