We can't believe August is already here! We are back in the office this week from 8 AM- 4 PM. We will be very busy working on classlists, calling other schools for students whose SOC form was dropped off this summer, getting postcards ready to send next week, and getting the building ready for the start of the school year. If you previously dropped off a School of Choice form, it is likely we were waiting to hear back from previous schools before reviewing your application. We hope to have this finished by the end of the week. If you have yet to turn in your SOC form, the window closes August 8th! Get your forms in. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WuXVQzOdCUy3DGX5KK-Wmri4ggxU5u6P/view Please do not call the office asking who your child has for a teacher. These will be sent out via postcards or letters hopefully on August 11th. We will not give that information out over the phone- plus the kids love watching for the postcards.
North Elementary is very excited to welcome Mrs, Hadd to North Elementary. She will be teaching Kindergarten.

*We still have space available! North Elementary is proud & excited to announce a new Early Childhood program for the 2025-2026 school year- Young Fives! Young 5s promotes curiosity and creativity through instruction, engagement, & play. Who might be a good fit for Y5? Children turning 5 in late spring, summer, or fall often benefit from the gift of time before entering a full-day Kindergarten program the next year. (Y5 students will still experience traditional Kindergarten the following year.)
See the attached infographic to see all that our new program has to offer! Mrs. Trinklein will be teaching Y5 (developmental kindergarten) this year! She has a lot of great Early Childhood education training and experience to bring to this awesome program.
If you are interested in your child attending Y5, here is the process:
1. Go to www.birchrunschools.org>schools>North Elementary>Menu> Early Childhood
2. There are some forms to fill out: Kindergarten (&Y5) Enrollment (Google) Form. (If you have already signed up for Kindergarten at North- you've done this step already!)
3. Complete the Consideration for Young Fives (Google) Form.
4. If you live out of District, you need to download and complete the School of Choice (SOC) form and email it to us at jjones@birchrunschools.org. (If you have already done this for this child, you've done this step!)
5. Download the Kindergarten/Y5 Enrollment Packet and all the documentation with it. You can drop it off in the office on August 1st or email it to jjones@birchrunschools.org (Again, if you have already done this for this child for Kindergarten- you've done this step!)
Before we can add a child to a Y5 classroom roster or a K classroom roster, your child needs to be approved for SOC if you live out of District, we need all documentation and that packet returned to us.
Please share this post so your friends can learn about our new program, too!
