Hello Seals and welcome to another fantastic year at North Beach! 

Here’s a quick list of dates to remember and things to do before school starts on September 3rd (1st - 5th grade; Kinder/PreK start Sep 8th):

• Meet Your Teacher: On this last day of Summer Vacation, the teachers should be in their rooms from 3:00pm - 4:00pm to welcome students and their families. Come by for a quick, informal "hello!" and see your kids' new classroom! Then, head out to the playground at 4:00pm for Popsicles on the Playground! 
  Popsicles on the Playground: Join us on the North Beach playground, Tuesday, September 2nd from 4:00pm - 6:00pm for our annual school year kick off event, Popsicles on the Playground! All North Beach students and their families are welcome to come enjoy a popsicle, play, and see our friends we missed over the summer.  
• Purchase your child’s school supplies: The PTA pays for the teachers and staff to bulk purchase (at a big discount!) all the supplies needed for each student. We then ask parents to pay $37 per student to contribute towards the school supply costs. Make your purchase today on Konstella! 
• Join the PTA (no time commitment required!): Your membership creates a strong voice for North Beach when we advocate for our students at a district, state, and national level. The closer we are to 100% participation the more the district and state understand how committed our community is to our school.  Join today!
• Open House/Curriculum Night: September 25th (6:30pm - 7:30pm) the school will hold the annual Open House where you can come to the school, see your child's classroom, and meet their teacher. 
• Required Volunteer Training: If you want to volunteer in any capacity at the school (room parents, field trips, lunch duty, etc) you must have completed the SPS Volunteer Training within the last two years.
• Get our weekly newsletter: The PTA sends out a weekly newsletter every Monday called The Beachcomber. The newsletter includes crucial information from the PTA, Principal, the school office, and community. Sign up here.

Looking forward to seeing you all back at North Beach soon!

Sincerely,
Jennifer Markovitz
PTA President
