Huge thanks to real life Meteorologist, Ryan Michaels from News Channel 7. Last Friday he helped our 5th graders preparing for their Science FAST by sharing about weather tools, types of clouds, how to read weather maps, and how they predict the weather.

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!

We'd like to invite everyone to stop by the Center for the Arts downtown to see this amazing show running all month, free and open to the public! Student artists being honored and their families are invited to the opening reception tomorrow and received an email last week with details via Parent Portal. Congratulations!
