North Park Elementary

Fun with snow!

These students have learned so much this year and are well on their way to becoming bilingual!

Our third graders have been learning academic and life skills through music. We appreciate them for sharing this with all of us. They did great!

A big shout-out and thank you to Kim Robison. She was recognized as a BESD outstanding volunteer! Kim is visible in our school, doesn’t hesitate to lend a hand to support teacher and students, and is always willing to do whatever is necessary for our students. North Park is so grateful for amazing parents like Kim!

DROP OFF/PICK UP We want all our students to be safe during before school drop off and afterschool pick up. Please follow our drop off/pick up instructions which are – *Drop off is on the east side of the school (gym door) until 8:10, after 8:10 students should be dropped off at the front door. *Pick up is on the east side ONLY. The busses pick up in front of the school. *Drop off/pick up is curb to car – if you park across the street, please use the crosswalk at the corner. We have seen many parents telling their kids to cross in the middle of the street. This is not safe. Even if you are crossing with your student, please use the crosswalk. *Do not pull up next to the pick up line and tell your child to cross between cars or busses. This is very dangerous and we do not want anyone to get hurt. *The line should be continuously moving. If you need to come into the school, please park in the parking lot or across the street. Please don’t block the line. *Please be courteous to the staff that is helping with pick up. They are helping to make sure kids get home safely. *Please be courteous to other drivers. *Please pick your kids up in a timely manner. We do not have staff to supervise students after school. Thanks for your help. The drop off/pick up line moves more quickly if everyone does their part.

Phil living his best life, making sure we are all able to come to school safely! Welcome winter.

We know that when there are changes in routines and the kids are hearing rumors about alleged threats, it can be confusing and scary. Here are some tips on how to talk to your child to help ease their worries and concerns. The school counselor will also be available all week to meet with students who are having a difficult time managing their worries or fears. The most important message is to validate how your child is feeling and also for them to know that everything is being done to keep them safe. https://www.nasponline.org/resources-and-publications/resources-and-podcasts/school-safety-and-crisis/school-violence-resources/talking-to-children-about-violence-tips-for-parents-and-teachers
