Order School Supplies for 2015-16
| |
Can you believe it? It's already to time to order 2015-16 school supplies. At Normandale, students are not given a school supply shopping list. Instead, we pay into the school supplies fund and then the PTO orders supplies in bulk. This saves parents time and money, reduces waste and promotes sharing as part of our school culture. The supplies will be delivered to the classrooms the last week in July. In order to meet that timeline and minimize costs, we need payment from parents by June 30th.
Early Bird Savings - save $10 per student if you order by June 30, 2015!

From the Social Worker | |
For the past eight years of a 24-year career I have had the great privilege of calling Normandale "my school." The staff, students, and families are remarkable. It is with sadness, for leaving, and happiness, for the retirement journey that follows, that I bid a fond "Adieu." This will be my last waving goodbye to the buses on May 29th. I welcome any parents and students who happen by my office during this busy end of the school year to stop by and share a few memories.
Merci Beaucoup!
