Dear Northside Elementary Families,

I am your new principal, Dr. Kenya K. Grant. As we prepare to welcome our students back for the first day of school tomorrow, our hearts are filled with excitement and anticipation. This year holds the promise of growth, learning, and new opportunities for everyone. As the new principal of Northside Elementary, I am thrilled to embark on this journey with you and your scholars.

As we implement some new procedures and practices, we kindly ask for your patience and understanding. These changes are designed to enhance the school experience for all students, and your support is invaluable to our success.

Please make sure your scholar is well-rested and prepared for their new journey this year. Together, we can make this school year exceptional!

Thank you for being an integral part of the Northside family. Have the most amazing evening, and we can’t wait to see you all tomorrow!

Warm regards,

Dr. Kenya K. Grant

"I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It's my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized.”
