Northside K-8 School Virtual Spring Curriculum Night for elementary students will be on April 15, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. Parents, if you did not receive the link for tomorrow night’s meeting, please contact your child's teacher. Teachers will be sharing presentations with important information such as the academic skills your child needs to be able to do independently in order to go on to the next grade level, EOG testing information, student challenging academic areas, and what parents can do to help their children academically at home. Of course, Kindergarten will have their Spring Curriculum Night at another time, due to the second round of Kindergarten registration. The date for the Middle School Spring Curriculum Night will be announced on Friday, April 16, 2021. Krispy Kreme Doughnut School Fundraiser Sale Ends Friday, April 16, 2021. Special thank you to our Bulldog families who have participated in this wonderful event. The winners will be announced, and parents will be notified when the doughnut certificates have arrived at school. Parents teachers have given the students receipts for any money received. If you did not receive your receipt, please follow up with your child or the classroom teacher. Special thank you to parents who are picking up their children when it is dismissal time. In an effort to keep everyone safe, we are asking parents not to jump the line. Enter and exit slowing when arriving and exiting off campus. Early student pick-ups we know may occur from time to time, but we are discouraging repeated early student picks. A formal letter will be going out to all parents regarding early student pick ups and procedures that will be put in place moving forward. Thank you so much and we are excited about see our elementary school parents virtually for Spring Curriculum Night.

Northside K-8 Parents: Today was our first day merging all our in-person instruction elementary students. It was overall a huge success we had 175 students which includes our A group middle school students who attended school in person today. The rest of our students did a great job signing in online for remote instruction. Northside K-8 School we will be hosting a Spring Virtual Curriculum Night for Northside Elementary students on April 15, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. Kindergarten students will have a separate day, because their teachers will be conducting Kindergarten registration on that day. Northside Middle School's Spring Curriculum Night is still to be determined. More information will be coming out regarding when that event will take place. The Krispy Kreme doughnut fundraiser has been extended until April 16, 2021. Thank you so much to the students who have started turning in their money. Top seller prizes range from bikes to money gift cards. Just a reminder, no teacher led classes remote or in-person are conducted on Wednesdays.

Northside Bulldog Parents: We have been receiving calls that bus drivers are not picking up Elementary School students who are on B day. I do apologize, because an announcement went out last week in the Warren Record, by the Elementary Principals and District Office. The announcement stated that there is no in-person A and B schedule. Both in person groups for the elementary school are now combined. However, middle school students who receive in person instruction will still be on an A and B day schedule. I have contacted Mr. Alston, Transportation Director, and informed him of this issue this morning. Students will receive credit for today, but will need to log in remotely. Parent Reminder: No students can be dropped off without clearing CDC COVID19 morning check which starts at 7:45 a.m. The school day ends at 3:00 pm. If there is a pattern and these guidelines are not followed, students will be placed on remote instruction.

Happy Easter Bulldog Family! Spring Break ends on April 6, 2021 and all in person elementary leveled registered students will now be coming to school on the same days (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday). On Wednesdays there is no in person instruction or teacher led remote instruction. There will be no more A/B days for elementary students. However, middle school in person instruction registered students will continue attending school on the A or B day schedule. Information about merging elementary in person students posted in the Warren Record last Wednesday. Remote students will remain remote for the rest of the school year, and continue to receive the same quality instruction online. Parents if you have any further questions please contact your child's teacher. Teachers were already made aware of this major change.
