YEARBOOK UPDATE

Good news! Our yearbooks are on their way to Normandale. Once they've arrived and are ready for distribution, we'll send out information about a pick up day. Thanks for your patience!

2022-23 NORMANDALE SCHOOL SUPPLIES

At Normandale, we buy school supplies in bulk for all students. This saves time and money for families, reduces waste, and promotes sharing as part of our school culture. Supplies are purchased over the summer and ready for students in the classroom before the first day of school. We will be collecting field trip fees, classroom party fees, and PTO fees at the same time as school supplies.

Please order as soon as possible so that the PTO has the necessary funds to purchase your supplies!

Ordering Your Supplies

The school supplies order form is available within the Membership Toolkit platform.

In order to access the school supplies form, you must be logged in to Normandale's Membership Toolkit portal. If you have not confirmed your family's data this year, you will need to do that before the system will allow you to access the school supplies form. Once you are logged in, you can find Forms under the My Account menu. The school supplies order form is also available through the Membership Toolkit mobile app. You can find it in the top left menu under My Account > Forms.

Normandale families already have an entry in the directory even if you have never logged in. If you are unsure what email address is associated with your Normandale Membership Toolkit account, or if you have any questions about the school supplies form, please email Sheri Rosen.

Additional Details

School Supplies

This cost varies by grade. Teachers work with the school supply team to ensure they have all the supplies needed for their classrooms. 

French Intern Donation

The largest and most important line item in the PTO fee payment. We ask that you contribute $100 PER STUDENT you have at Normandale to help pay for all the things needed to bring the best interns into our classrooms. The fundraising we do throughout the year covers a large portion of the expenses; PTO family donations make up the rest.

PTO Family Contribution

Each FAMILY is asked to contribute a flat fee of $30 per year. These membership fees are allocated for various school-wide programs, grants, and financial aid.  

Scholarships are Available - Please contact Principal Holden.

FRENCH STORY TIME

French Story Time will be held IN PERSON this year at the Edina Library off of Vernon Ave. It will take place Thursdays from 3:00-3:30pm throughout June and July.

Two of our wonderful Normandale teachers will be reading each week*. One will read to grades K-2 in the large conference room and the other to grades 3-5 in the smaller conference room.

Masks are strongly encouraged but not required. We hope to see you there!

*On June 30, we have one teacher reader. All are welcome to join! No Story Time on July 7.

SAVE THE DATE - NORMANDALE BACK TO SCHOOL

On August 29^th and 30^th Normandale Elementary will be hosting Connect and Assess Days with all Normandale students and families. Please mark your calendars to be in town on these important days.
