Contact Information:
Please email our Registrar with any contact information updates (email, phone, address, emergency contacts) to ensure all communications are delivered to the correct locations.

Address Changes:  
Please submit the Change of Address Form with required proof of residence to our Registrar as soon as possible to ensure all communications are delivered to the correct locations and your student's bus transportation record is updated.

If a student moves to a new address, even if it is within the Northshore Middle School boundary area  (boundary map), proof of residency will need to be submitted to our Registrar.

To determine your child's attendance area, which is based on address, enter your student's grade and address into VersaTrans eLink Opens a New Window. or call the Transportation Department at 425.408.7900. 

If a parent who does not live with the student moves to a new location, proof of residency is not required and the parent can email the Registrar with the new information.

Please note:  Student and parent address changes cannot be processed through ParentVue.

Find out more about Volunteering.

We invite parents and community members to be involved in Northshore Middle School's academic, athletic and activity programs. Middle school is not the time to stop volunteering in your student's school. The students of parents who stay involved in school make better academic progress and have more overall school success than the students of parents who do not. Parents may also help as chaperones on field trips and at dances. Call today and become a Northshore Middle School volunteer!
 
The Northshore Middle School Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) is a liaison between parents, students, educators, and the community. Our PTSA is committed to responding to the needs of the Northshore Middle School community through PTSA sponsored programs and activities that complement the academic curriculum. The PTSA welcomes and encourages you to become involved and to participate in any of the many fine programs offered. We provide parent information/education programs, grants for special classroom projects and staff appreciation activities. The PTSA is working hard to maintain an unbroken circle of learning and growing for our students and their families. Please join us. Please visit PTSA website .

To support learning, safety, and well-being, our District is implementing a new technology procedure (Board Policy 3245P) that limits personal device use at school. This follows guidance from the Washington OSPI and is supported by research and expert recommendations.

What Devices are Impacted?

Personal mobile devices include, but are not limited to, mobile cellular phones, smartwatches, wireless headphones (including wireless earbuds), smart glasses or goggles, laptops, tablets, reading tablets, portable gaming devices, digital cameras, music players, and GPS trackers with communication capabilities.

What’s Changing? 

Starting this year, NSD students in grades PreK-8 are encouraged to leave personal devices at home. If devices are brought to school, students must follow these guidelines: 

• Devices must be turned off and stored in a locker - not on the student or in their pockets. 

• Use is not allowed during school, including during lunch and passing periods.

• Devices may not be used before school; after-school use is at the discretion of supervising staff. 

• On buses, device use will follow the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook and bus staff direction. 

• The District is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal devices. 

• By bringing a device to school or events, students and families consent to searches if there is reasonable suspicion of a rule or law violation. Content violating laws will be referred to law enforcement. 

District-Provided Devices

All students will continue to use district-issued Chromebooks for learning. Northshore Middle School will provide wired headphones when necessary for use with Chromebooks, but students may bring their plug-in headphones if preferred. Plug-in headphones are the only personal tech items students may access during the school day.

Exceptions & Accommodations

We are committed to working with families to ensure students maintain access to all documented accommodations supporting their health and learning. We have been very successful finding ways for students to access accommodations without use of a personal device and are committed to working with families to create a plan to best support your child. If you have questions about how this new policy impacts an educational support plan for your student, please reach out to the following school staff: 

• Emergency Care Plans → Madison Lindahl

• English Language Learning Plans → Leah Wisler

• 504 Plans → School Counselor

• IEPs → Case Manager

Communication During the School Day

Students can use classroom or office phones to contact home during the school day. Please ensure that your student has important phone numbers memorized or written down. You may wish to program several school phone numbers into your phone so you know if your child is trying to reach you during the school day:

• Student Phone in the Office: (425) 408-6716 

• Nurse’s Office Phone: (425) 408-6706

Please note: All NSD phone numbers begin with “(425) 408-”. If you see a call from a number that begins this way, it may be from your student or a school staff member. 

If you need to reach your child during school hours, please call the Northshore School Main Office at: (425) 408-6701. In the event of an emergency, the District will use its official communication platform to keep families informed. 

What Happens if a Student Breaks the Rules? 

If a student is seen in possession of a personal device (even if it is not in use), the device will be confiscated and held in the Main Office for parent/guardian pickup. Possession or use of prohibited devices may also result in disciplinary consequences, including, but not limited to: detention, Saturday school, and suspension. 

We believe this policy will help students stay focused, reduce distractions, and build healthy habits around technology use. Thank you for your support in creating a positive and productive learning environment for all students. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 

PARENTS: Please review our cell phone expectations with your child. Be aware, repeated failures to meet cell phone expectations will result in a parent or guardian collecting the student’s
phone from our office.  Please avoid texting time-sensitive information to your student during the school day. Please call the main office if you need to share important information with your student. We appreciate your partnership on upholding the school's technology use policy.

NSD’s School Board Procedure 2022P is in place to foster the idea of digital citizenship.
Parents should annually review the RUP and the district assumes that families agree with the outlined procedures.
