Substitute Release Time for National Board Certificated Candidates The Northshore Schools Foundation has made a generous contribution to help fund support for substitute release time for National Board Certificated Teacher (NBCT) candidates in the Northshore School District. The Foundation is providing the district with funding of up to $5,000 to provide some substitute release time for NBCT candidates who have registered their full candidacy. This release time may be used to study and complete National Board assessments, collate portfolio entries and prepare final portfolios for submission for National Board certification.

You Can Help Lower Utility Costs We are asking you to help in the district's effort with managing sustainability and lowering our utility costs. If everyone does their part of ensuring that all non-essential equipment such as lights, electric heaters, coffee pots, radios, etc are either turned off or unplugged we may meet a few cost savings goals. For example, we could potentially save roughly $25,000 over a three day weekend; just think how many three day weekends there are. We appreciate your assistance and gentle reminder as we work together on sustainability. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Ryan Fujiwara. BRAVOS!
