Dear North Beach Families:
As the school year ends, we want to let you know what to expect over the summer. The district is completing Phase II of the capital project started last year. The campus and office will be closed until late August while construction is ongoing. Kindergarten Jump Start information will be sent out to incoming kindergarten families. We are working on coordinating an off-site location to hold Jump Start. Make sure your communication preferences and contact information is up to date in The Source. We will be reaching out in early August with information about back-to-school information sessions and PTA events.
Some of our staff are moving on from North Beach and I’d like to recognize them for the support they’ve provided to our students:
Martha May, 3rd Grade, is retiring after more than twenty years teaching North Beach students.
Maddie Tyler, 3rd Grade, is relocating to the East Coast.
Bryana Hoffman, 4th-5th Grade, is relocating to the Portland area.
Riley Burks, 2nd Grade, and Emily Combs, 3rd Grade, have stepped in as long-term substitutes for teachers on leave and have done a wonderful job!
Erin Carroll, Occupational Therapist, has accepted a leadership position in the district Special Education Department.
Anna Eifert, Music, has accepted a full-time position at Broadview-Thomson K-8. Due to enrollment declines at the other school Ms. Eifert taught at, .5 of her position was cut and there wasn’t another .5 position for her to move into. We know she will continue to do great work with the students at Broadview-Thomson.
Ellen Lee, Academic Interventionist, is taking a break from teaching in order to focus on her growing family.
Abbey Rogers, Special Education Aide, is taking a leave of absence.
Kate Silver-Heiman, Psychologist, has been working to support SPS on a temporary basis. We hope she may return again!
We are also welcoming new staff next year, or happy to see them returning to North Beach/moving into new roles:
Becky Baker has been a tutor at North Beach for several years and will be moving into our Academic Intervention position to provide math instruction and intervention and literacy intervention.
Schuyler Jones is moving from a Special Education position to a classroom teaching position. He will be joining our 4th-5th Grade team.
Arianna Kruchowski is joining our Special Education team to provide support as our newest Instructional Aide. Like our other IAs, she will be seen in many of our classrooms providing support to students and on the playground during recess.
Emma Wentzel is returning to North Beach and will also be joining our 4th-5th Grade team. Emma (Tomsett) was a member of our kindergarten team during the 2020-21 school year but was unfortunately moved to another school due to low enrollment numbers.
​Finally, Ben Fitch joined our staff as our 3-5 Focus teacher mid-year. I want to ensure he receives an official new staff welcome!
I wish all of you a healthy, joyous and relaxing summer!

What is Jump Start?
Jump Start is a FREE week-long experience to welcome new kindergartners and their families to Seattle Public Schools. Children meet their peers and North Beach staff and get to know the school. Our goal is for all students start school feeling safe, supported, and ready to learn.
