NORTH SHOREVIEW MONTESSORI PTA

The PTA Communications team helps get the word out about NSM school events, volunteer needs, and community news through the website, online calendars, weekly emails, and Thursday envelopes.  To help save resources, we encourage families to sign up to receive notices online, and paper copies are not provided to younger siblings.  For families that don't have regular access to the Internet, we offer a paper newsletter every month including all items posted on the website, and current events are posted on bulletin boards at the school entrances.  Please contact us with any questions or to volunteer to help write and distribute notices.

1. News announcements and flyers must be approved in advance by the school principal.  Spanish translation is encouraged for all flyers and is available through the school district (billed to the PTA) or PTA volunteers; please do not use online translators.

2. Approved announcements and flyers must be received by 4:00 on Monday to be included on the website each Thursday.  A printed newsletter is compiled from the website every month; check the calendar for Monday 4:00 deadlines.

3. Photocopies may be made in the school office (billed to the PTA) or produced by the district copy shop (cheaper, but takes one week).  The number of copies needed for each class is posted in the office.  Flyers must be distributed to teachers’ mailboxes by noon on Wednesdays to be put into the Thursday Envelopes by teachers and classroom volunteers.
