Teacher Appreciation Week is May 3-7, 2021 This is a time of recognition for teachers throughout our district and for teachers across the country for the countless hours of hard work and dedication they give to help our students prepare for a successful life. This year more than ever teachers deserve our gratitude, thanks, and support. Please join North Bend School District in showing our gratitude and appreciation to our teaching staff this week. “If you have to put someone on a pedestal, put teachers. They are society’s heroes.” – Guy Kawasaki

To families of secondary students: The North Bend School District is in the process of identifying a quality curriculum for our foreign languages programs, with implementation in the fall of 2021 for grades 6-12. Staff have reviewed a number of options that address French and Spanish standards taught in our current courses. Major factors for decisions include the way concepts and approaches of effective teaching are provided, resources demonstrating a clear priority to prepare students for meeting the adopted state requirements, online resources and materials, accessibility components, and requirements for a path to the next level of language attainment as well as solid foundational skill building. We are inviting you to make contact if you would like to review the proposed curriculum and/or if you have questions/concerns regarding the upcoming adoption. I would welcome you to contact me to set a time to preview the materials and resources. The time frame for input, prior to the May school board meeting on May 6th, 2021, will be from April 15th-May 3rd, 2021.
