Important Stuff:

At North Beach we strive to nurture and empower all students to reach their full potential as learners and citizens.

These are a few of the reasons to come to North Beach:

Our PTA
The North Beach PTA is incredibly supportive of the school and staff.  To learn more about the PTA and the amazing things they do at North Beach, please visit the PTA website.  Read the Beachcomber, our PTA Newsletter here.

Spectrum Inclusion
Our certified Spectrum program offers an advanced learning curriculum for eligible students in grades one through five.  The inclusion aspect of this program offers children who do not test into Spectrum the opportunity to receive the advanced learning curriculum.

All School Math Block
Students in first through fifth grades are taught math based on their ability, not their grade level.  In addition to our classroom teachers, we have three other teachers that take groups for math instruction.

Full Time Librarian/Technology Specialist
Students visit the library several times a week to hear stories, check out books, and learn new technology skills.  The North Beach library has a computer lab with 32 workstations.

Award-winning Physical Education Program
Our P.E. teacher, Rett Hartmann, has designed a physical education program that reaches well beyond dodge ball and running laps.  He incorporates activities such as archery, bowling, unicycling, rock climbing, lacrosse, biking, golf and roller skating to name a few.

PTA Funded Specialists
Our PTA-funds specialists in art and music to provide a well-rounded curriculum.

Kindergarten
We offer full-day kindergarten, but can accommodate half-day students. A sliding fee scale is available. The fee is waved for students eligible for free or reduced-price meals. There is no fee for half-day kindergarten.
