Pick Up Policy

NBMS PTSA understands that you will make arrangements to pick up your child when the event ends at 8pm.

However, if your child leaves earlier, for the safety of your child, we require that a parent/adult escort sign the

student out of the Ice rink. Parents are expected to arrive at Cabin John Ice Rink promptly at 8pm to pick up all

students. To ensure the safety of all students, NBMS parent’s volunteers wait until the last student goes home.

Students not picked up promptly at 8pm will be discouraged from purchasing a ticket to the next scheduled

PTSA event. Should a student be picked up late, parents will be informed of this consequence. Thank You!

NBMS PTSA LOYALTY CARDS

2017-2018

North Bethesda Middle School has the opportunity to earn thousands of dollars through supermarket loyalty card programs. Below are instructions for you to link your cards with our school. 

Giant A+ School Rewards:  If you need a Giant loyalty card, please stop by the store’s customer service counter or apply online for a card at https://giantfood.com/ (click the blue REGISTER button on the top right of the screen).  If you already have a Giant loyalty card, you must sign into your online account at https://giantfood.com/ (click the blue SIGN IN button on the top right of the screen – please note, if you have not created an online Giant Food account, you will first have to REGISTER).  Then click the “Rewards & Savings” tab, go the A+ School link, and either choose North Bethesda Middle School from the drop down menu or enter NBMS’s group code, which is 03709.  You do not have to re-link your card if you linked it to NBMS last year.  Please note that you must go online and link your card through your online account.  Giant no longer allows the Loyalty Card Coordinator to register other people’s cards.

Harris Teeter Together In Education Program:  If you need a Harris Teeter VIC card, please stop by the store’s customer service counter. You can link your card to NBMS yourself online at https://www.harristeeter.com/together-in-education using the “Link Your School Today” tab or, the next time you shop at Harris Teeter, simply give the cashier your VIC card and NBMS’s code, 1095, and the cashier will link your card to NBMS for the entire school year.  You must re-link your Harris Teeter card yearly.  If you would like the PTSA to link your Harris Teeter VIC card, please email Marci Norton at marcibnorton@gmail.com with the first 11 digits on your VIC card (beginning with the number 4), your last name, and the 10-digit phone number associated with your Harris Teeter account.  Please note that the money provided to schools by Harris Teeter is a percentage of Harris Teeter brand products purchased.

The North Bethesda Middle School (NBMS) Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) Board is looking forward to a great 2017-2018 school year! One of the best decisions you can make early in the school year is to join the PTSA! Be among the first 125 parents to sign up for a family membership to the NBMS PTSA and you will receive the NBMS Phoenix car magnet! Act now, as we expect to run out. Those who have paid by Thursday at 5 p.m. and are among the first 125 will be able to pick up their magnets at tomorrow night's Back-to-School Night: http://www.nbms-ptsa.org/membership

• Family memberships cost $45 for up to two parents and all NBMS students. In addition to the magnet, you will receive the school directory once it is printed.
• Only want an individual membership ($25 for one parent)? You will still receive the school directory.
• In addition, all families giving $25 or more to our direct donation campaign by October 31, 2017 will be entered into a drawing to win a $100 Amazon gift card.
• If you prefer to pay by check, please use this form.

Becoming a member of the NBMS PTSA is the best way to support your child's education.  Your dues allow us to cover basic operational costs (such as insurance for meetings and programs and publication of the student directory), sponsor events and activities (March Madness basketball tournament, cupcake wars and others), contribute to departments and programs (such as the media center, student assemblies, and the Science Olympiad), and purchase tools and supplies to enhance classroom learning.  Membership also helps you to connect to NBMS teachers and administrators, other parents, and valuable resources so that you can have a voice in your child's education and stay informed and advocate for issues affecting your child.  Only PTSA members receive a free NBMS directory.

Please remember to join and make your direct donation TODAY!

Here's some information from the Principal's Letter and back-to-school packet. (It is available at http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/northbethesdams/ and has important information such as bus routes and bell schedules.)

Back-to-School Night is Thursday, September 7, from 6:25 p.m.-8:39 p.m. There are additional meetings for parents of students in Special Education (5:45 in the gym) and ESOL (6:00 in the media center).

Parents will begin the evening in their students' homeroom classrooms (posted now at http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/schools/northbethesdams/news/news.aspx?id=549977)  at 6:25 p.m., then rotate through a much-shortened version of the school day, from first through seventh periods (ending at 8:39 p.m.), using their students' own schedules. Teachers for each class will introduce themselves and discuss curriculum and expectations. 

This evening is intended for adults only. Parking is limited, so it is helpful when parents who live nearby choose to walk.

Welcome to the new school year!  Please read the Principal's Welcome Letter  It is a resource for the whole school year which includes School Supply Lists, New Student Orientation, Bus Routes, Back to School Night information, Bell Schedules, and much much more!  Save this document and refer to it throughout the school year.
