Caregivers;
We are heading straight toward Spring Break, and I know we are all looking forward to a bit of time off. On Friday, I had our monthly Roundtables with each grade levels. All 3 groups were amazing and we had some really good conversations about stamina and the noise level in the lunchroom. Our opening question was "What's the best food in a food fight?" , and they had some really fun answers!
Our Reading March Madness is into the semifinals this week. We will know our winner by the end of the week.
Even though we are close to a break, there is still a lot of learning happening this week. Please get your students to school, and if you are going to be gone, communicate with the office.
Attached below is a link for a Youth Baseball Camp being held in April. Players and Coaches from our State Champion Baseball team will be working with the boys. Check it out!
Check out the flyer attached below about our next Parent Literacy night. Mrs. Tag and Mrs. Morse work hard to create a fun and educational evening centered around reading and literacy. Please try to attend; it's always a good time.
Also below is the list of students who received a Cookies and Character coupon in the month of February. They were recognized for showing self-awareness.
We are conducting a parent survey this spring. Please use the link or the QR code below to help us improve. Parent Survey

BUZZ IN SYSTEM
As we strive to make North School as safe as possible, please be aware that we utilize a "Buzz-In" system for all visitors. All people are asked to come to the front door and follow the procedure below:
Please press the button and wait for someone in the office to respond.
If you’re signing out your student, the sign out sheet will be available inside the first set of doors.
If you’re needing to come inside the office for any reason, office staff will buzz you in the second set of doors.
Please note that the front doors will lock at 7:50 am, anyone arriving after that time will have to use the new system.
