The North Street Star
A Note from North Street
What an incredible week at North Street! Thursday's Fun Run was an absolute blast, and it was wonderful to see so much excitement, school spirit, and enthusiasm from our students! A HUGE thank you to our amazing PTG for all the time, energy, and effort that went into organizing such a fantastic event. We are SO close to reaching our $60,000 fundraising goal, and donations are still being accepted! If you'd like to help us cross the finish line so our students can turn Mrs. Lape and Mrs. Stewart into ice cream sundaes, you can donate here!
A quick reminder that this Wednesday is a half-day for students, with dismissal at 10:50 AM. Families who would like to order a lunch for their child to take home must complete the lunch order form by Monday at 2:00 PM.
Thank you for another wonderful week, North Street!

Substitutes & Paraprofessionals Needed
We're Hiring! We're in desperate need of substitute teachers, and we'd love your help! Subbing is a great opportunity for parents, family members, and community members to enjoy a flexible schedule, get involved in our school, and make a difference for students.
We also anticipate hiring at least two additional paraprofessionals in the coming weeks! These positions can be a wonderful fit for parents looking for a schedule that aligns with their children's school hours and vacations.
If you or someone you know might be interested in either opportunity, please help us spread the word! Emailing Mrs. Lape directly is the best way to learn more!

Same Day Dismissal Changes
If your child has a day-of change to their regular dismissal plan, please submit the change using our online Change in Dismissal Form.
We suggest parents bookmark this link so it's easily accessible throughout the year.
The form will be available each school day until 11:45 a.m. After 11:45, the form will close and any dismissal changes must be communicated by calling the Main Office directly.
Our goal is for this form to replace paper notes and individual emails so that all dismissal information is received and organized in one central location. Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe, accurate, and efficient!
