Nesbit's New Family Pairing Program
For the 2020-21 school year, we are starting a program to help new parents/guardians at Nesbit navigate their child's school experience by pairing them with a returning Nesbit family. The goal is to ease the transition for new students and their families and also provide a connection to our wonderful school Ohana. Seasoned Nesbit families can help by answering questions, providing information, sharing their experience at Nesbit, and being a friendly face as we embark on a remarkable school year. If you are a NEW family and interested in being paired with a returning Nesbit family OR a RETURNING family willing to "mentor" new families please complete this form: https://forms.gle/tFQUnCPB2Q2xqwgM8

Overview
Welcome to the Nesbit PTA - We make Nesbit AWESOME!
The Nesbit School PTA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit parent and teacher organization (Tax ID # 94-6184980) that encourages parent and teacher collaboration working towards delivering an outstanding education for all students. At Nesbit (pre-K to 8th grade school), we are fortunate to have a highly active PTA that focuses on three primary goals: 1) Community Building towards a positive learning environment and connectivity between families; 2) Advocacy for children’s education; and (3) Fundraising to support educational and enrichment programs that benefit the children of Nesbit School.
While this school year is unlike any other, we hope you feel, as we do, that BRSSD is still one of the very best places to educate our children. The high quality of our schools wouldn’t be possible without your contributions to our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and SchoolForce, the Belmont-Redwood Shores Public School Education Foundation.
This fall, all seven school PTAs in our district and SchoolForce have joined together to create the Education Commitment Campaign (ECC) so you can make one donation to cover virtually all of your child’s educational needs. It’s a huge step forward in simplifying the process to support our schools.
State funding is not enough to provide a quality education to our BRSSD students. We receive about $2,000/student below the state average, so we rely on parents, like yourself, to provide high caliber programs and close that gap.
Our goal for the Education Commitment Campaign is 100% participation from all families and we encourage you to donate at whatever level is possible for you. The suggested donation is $1,800 per student - the first $250 per student will go to Nesbit's PTA and the balance will go to SchoolForce.
“Support and donate to ECC! Your contribution directly impacts dynamic learning opportunities for our students. It also supports the professional development of our teachers and abilities to offer rich school-wide programs. ECC helps us continue to make magic happen at each and every BRSSD school. Thank you for donating, giving back, and helping us make a difference!”
