Letter from the Principal

May 27, 2022

Dear North Beach Families:

Monday there will be no school due to Memorial Day, a day set aside to honor and mourn members of the armed services who have died while serving the country. Since I wrote to you earlier this week about the events in Uvalde, TX, I have learned there have been 27 school shootings since the beginning of this year. I am so appalled we have been unwilling to do more to protect our children at school. Like you, I wonder – will this be the event that prompts us to do right by them? I hope it is.

A reminder for families of 5th grade students. We are looking forward to 5th Grade Promotion & Reception:Friday, June 17 – 9:00-10:00 a.m. at North Beach

We will celebrate our 5th graders with a promotion ceremony on the last day of school. Due to COVID restrictions we are inviting primary parents/caregivers to join us for this celebration. We will gather in the cafeteria for a promotion ceremony and then students can gather for a reception afterward and take pictures with family and teachers.

All audience members must present proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test to be admitted to campus. We are also requiring pre-registration so we know how many people to expect. Please register using this link (https://forms.office.com/r/k2Z4SPT3Nv) no later than Friday, June 3, 2022.

Finally, there was notification sent earlier this week to families about poison hemlock on campus. Poison hemlock is classified as a Class B noxious week by King County and the amount found is too large to be removed by hand; the district planned to treat the area this afternoon in compliance with district policy and procedure. However, due to wind levels, they are postponing treatment. There is a small patch of the plant that is close to the playground that will be removed by hand. The district is determining a plan for removing the rest of the plant that is inaccessible and higher up the slope.

Have a wonderful weekend,
​
