The school year is approaching, we need support staff substitutes! Do you have a day open in your week that you would like to make some extra money? Are you looking for a flexible work day that would fit into your family's schedule? We'd love to have you substitute at North! Support Staff subs need a high school diploma/GDE. No experience needed. You sign up to sub on days that fit your schedule! Sign up at willsub.com- don't delay, the process is online and can take 2-3 weeks to get started. We have lots of opportunities for you- if you wanted, it could turn into 25-40 hour week for you! It can be as little or as much as you like!

Good news- the postcards and envelopes are at the Post Office ready to be mailed tomorrow! It's our favorite time of year! A huge thank you to Mrs. Jones as it is a LOT of work entering 690 kids into Skyward for their new classes, printing labels, and stickering & stamping all of these pieces of mail. Students can start checking the mail later in the week.
We have several new students who will not be receiving their class assignment in the mail because they are missing documents yet. We have emailed you and attempted to call you to remind you. Your child is not fully enrolled until we have all of the documents that have been requested. We understand that you are busy, but we definitely need these items before the first day of school, or your student will be unable to start on time. We are unable to enter them into skyward and put them in a class until we have that legally. We don't want any of our friends disappointed. So please check your emails- if this is an issue contact the office tomorrow and stop up with your documentation.

Students who completed 50 ST MATH puzzles a week were invited to the Splash Pad today. Students enjoyed the water, playground, and a frozen treat. Thank you to all the families who encouraged their kids this summer, to local businesses for their support, and to Ms. Keipert for all of her planning!

We can't believe August is already here! We are back in the office this week from 8 AM- 4 PM. We will be very busy working on classlists, calling other schools for students whose SOC form was dropped off this summer, getting postcards ready to send next week, and getting the building ready for the start of the school year. If you previously dropped off a School of Choice form, it is likely we were waiting to hear back from previous schools before reviewing your application. We hope to have this finished by the end of the week. If you have yet to turn in your SOC form, the window closes August 8th! Get your forms in. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WuXVQzOdCUy3DGX5KK-Wmri4ggxU5u6P/view Please do not call the office asking who your child has for a teacher. These will be sent out via postcards or letters hopefully on August 11th. We will not give that information out over the phone- plus the kids love watching for the postcards.

*We still have space available! North Elementary is proud & excited to announce a new Early Childhood program for the 2025-2026 school year- Young Fives! Young 5s promotes curiosity and creativity through instruction, engagement, & play. Who might be a good fit for Y5? Children turning 5 in late spring, summer, or fall often benefit from the gift of time before entering a full-day Kindergarten program the next year. (Y5 students will still experience traditional Kindergarten the following year.)
See the attached infographic to see all that our new program has to offer! Mrs. Trinklein will be teaching Y5 (developmental kindergarten) this year! She has a lot of great Early Childhood education training and experience to bring to this awesome program.
If you are interested in your child attending Y5, here is the process:
1. Go to www.birchrunschools.org>schools>North Elementary>Menu> Early Childhood
2. There are some forms to fill out: Kindergarten (&Y5) Enrollment (Google) Form. (If you have already signed up for Kindergarten at North- you've done this step already!)
3. Complete the Consideration for Young Fives (Google) Form.
4. If you live out of District, you need to download and complete the School of Choice (SOC) form and email it to us at jjones@birchrunschools.org. (If you have already done this for this child, you've done this step!)
5. Download the Kindergarten/Y5 Enrollment Packet and all the documentation with it. You can drop it off in the office on August 1st or email it to jjones@birchrunschools.org (Again, if you have already done this for this child for Kindergarten- you've done this step!)
Before we can add a child to a Y5 classroom roster or a K classroom roster, your child needs to be approved for SOC if you live out of District, we need all documentation and that packet returned to us.
Please share this post so your friends can learn about our new program, too!

Do you love the littles? Would you find joy daily working with them? We are in need of two preschool parapros for next year. These candidates would need to be willing to obtain a CDA or other schooling as described.
