You’re Invited! Our annual art show and food truck night is a great opportunity for you to see Birch in person and start to get connected to the Birch Community!
Kindergarten Open House and Welcome Packet Pickup:
May 2, 2024 3:00-4:00pm Come see our Kindergarten rooms after school between 3:00-4:00pm on May 2nd. This event will be kid-focused as opposed to the virtual parent orientation hosted on April 16th. Please bring your kiddo and stop by Birch to meet the Kindergarten team in person, see the classrooms, and pick up a fun Welcome Packet! This is an open-house style event, but we will have a read aloud and craft direction presentation repeated at 3:00, 3:20, and 3:45. We hope to see you and your incoming Kindergartner there! (Kindergarten entrance located near the gazebo. Look for signs outside on May 2nd!) RSVP here to let us know if you will make it! |
Can't make it to the open house?
Kindergarten teachers and tours of the school will not be available during these times, but you can pick up the Welcome Packet May 3-22 in the Birch office during school hours (8:00-3:00). Missed the packet pickup or just enrolled? Check out the virtual packet here! (link coming soon) |
Kindergarten Open House: Join us during "Meet the Teacher"
TBA 3:00-3:30 Come see the Kindergarten Rooms and Kindergarten Team again before the school year officially begins! This will be an opportunity to see the classrooms and teachers, which can help kids and families ease some first day jitters. 1st-5th grade students will get to meet their teachers in their classrooms during this time as well. As a reminder- you won't find out who your child will have for Kindergarten until after our Welcome Days on August 16th!

Past Events
Birch Elementary asks for a school supply fee per elementary student instead of students buying individual school supplies in the fall. We believe this plan is beneficial to families, saving both time and money. Instead of families trying to go to 3-4 stores to find the “right” school supplies that teachers have requested, or the best price, we are asking for a $50 donation for school supplies per elementary student. Partial and full scholarships are available for those who qualify. Grade level teachers will be able to capitalize on the school districts volume discounts and tax exemption to maximize the funds for classroom supplies. Teachers can purchase the exact type of supplies they need in the amounts they need. It will add flexibility for teachers to re-order supplies as needed throughout the year instead of asking for students to re-supply midyear.
If school supply shopping is a tradition that your family treasures, please continue to make it a special time to pick out a new back pack, lunch bag, new clothes and shoes. It is also important to have some school supplies at home to use for homework and study time if your child still really wants to get some school supplies.
Please visit RevTrak to pay for school supplies:
Link will be available after July 1, 2024
Don't forget to click on the Kindergarten supply link and then include your child's name!
*In addition to the school supply fee we request that all students have a regular sized backpack and a pair of headphones that we will use in class each week. If you need assistance with purchasing a backpack please contact the Birch Office for more information about our free backpacks!
