North Elementary
Back to School Newsletter
Welcome Back!
I hope everyone has had an awesome summer but it is almost time to hang up our flip flops and put on our school shoes. I am so excited for what this school year will bring. There will be lots of new devices, events, assessments, etc. this year. We also have several new staff members we would like to welcome.
Some New Faces
Courtney Crowder
Courtney will join us as a special education teacher this year. Courtney is a North Posey graduate and we are excited to have her back in our schools as a teacher.
Jana Young
Jana will be our speech pathologist. Mrs. Young is coming to us from Illinois. We are excited to welcome her to our community.
Alicia Slaton
Alicia will be our new Youth First Social Worker. Mrs. Slaton is a community member and is excited to get started working with our staff and students.
We also would like to welcome Amy Roberts to North Elementary as an instructional assistant and Ed Morton has transferred to North Elementary as our Maintenance/Custodian. We still have a few instructional assistant positions yet to be approved so there will still be a few new faces next week as well.
Chromebooks
Chromebook deployments have been going very well! If you have a student in 3rd - 6th grade and have not picked up your child's chromebook, you can do so at the Junior High on August 6 from 8am to 7 pm. Please complete the registration forms though the Harmony 3 Family Access app. If you have a K - 2nd student, please complete the registration forms online as well prior to the start of school. We would like to avoid sending more paperwork home at the start of school.
Now would be a good time to start a routine at home of charging the device if it is brought home. The teachers have been working really hard all summer on incorporating the chromebooks into the classroom. I am so excited to see what the kids will do with chromebooks this year!
Projector/Screen
All of your fundraising hard work paid off last year. This summer we were able to install a new projector and screen in the gym. Thank you to all of you for your participation and especially to the volunteers that helped with the Candy Cane Market and Rummage Sale!
Drop off/Pick up
Please continue to drop off and pick up students in the front loop. At both drop off and pick up the loop must continue to move. If you need to exit your car to walk your student to the building, please park along the street or in the parking lot across the street. Students should not be dropped off prior to 7:50. Walkers and pick up students will be dismissed at 2:50 from the front doors.
