Mrs. Georgia Clark, Principal
My how time flies! I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support of our school initiatives and endeavors. Without our parents, our jobs would be incomplete!
I want to especially thank you for your suggestions for the FY 08-09 School Budget. All staffing comments were included in our request as well as those relating to additional technology equipment and textbooks. The additional staff will assist us in addressing your comments concerning staff training/development. Additional parking was also requested to accommodate our daily parking challenges. I want to thank our PTO for always being very generous in their support of our school; especially in the areas of additional funds for field trips and incentives for student achievement.
On behalf of the entire staff of North East Elementary School, we extend to you our best wishes for a safe, happy holiday with your family, friends & neighbors.
Sincerely,
Georgia Soltis Clark, Principal

GREETINGS TO ALL. . . .
As we continue to roll into spring, many, many distractions can pop up to get in the way of student learning. With spring sports in full swing, the enticement of outdoor activities with the growing day-light hours and other activities such as dance and scouts – students must make extra efforts to stay focused on their academics here at school. February blew by and March is doing the same. . . . .at this pace June will be here before we know it and students will be off for the summer. Let us work together to maximize the days we have left here at school.
The annual Maryland School Assessment (MSA) program will begin on April 1st and run through April 10th, with students in grades 3, 4 and 5 being tested in the areas of reading and mathematics. During this testing window students in those grades will have two days of testing in both reading and math. The MSA will be given in the morning, so please avoid scheduling medical appointments during these times. Also, talking to your child “how the testing go?” each day will let the students know that these assessments are valued by you as well. Please feel free to contact the office if you have any questions about these assessments. You can also check out this MD State website: http://www.mdk12.org/parents/index.html to get more information about the testing. This website is a rich resource for parents and students
A FEW REMINDERS:
Students are not permitted to go to class until the 8:45 bell. If you drop your child off at school or they walk to school - please time their arrival for no earlier than 8:45 AM.
During afternoon dismissal, if your child(ren) will be a car rider please follow our pick-up procedure by staying in your car and pulling as far forward as possible. Also, please be patient and wait until the car in front of you pulls away before you do. Adults on duty during dismissal will guide you through this process.
For our bus rider students. . . . .please encourage your child(ren) to follow the bus rules. Students are to sit promptly after boarding the bus and are to stay in their seats until they are asked to exit the bus. Also, it is very important that boys and girls are using indoor voices – not yelling or screaming on the bus. Of course it is essential that they follow the bus driver’s directions immediately and the first time they are given.
With your help from home and our vigilance, we will continue to keep all of our students safe.
As always, please contact us here at school if you have any questions or concerns and thank you for your ongoing support!
– Mr. Benner
