We are holding a special transition event for students who will be entering Kindergarten at Northside in August of 2026 and their families. April 14, 2:30-3:00pm join us at Northside for a casual drop in event. We will have school staff available to talk with you about the upcoming Kindergarten year and help you with setting up Parent Portal or adding a student. You can visit a Kindergarten classroom, and new Kindergarteners will receive a “Kindergarten in a bag” take away, with items that will help them prepare. We look forward to meeting you!
