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
