District Wide IReady In Person Testing Cancelled! In an effort to continue to keep everyone safe, with the current COVID-19 cases locally, at this point in time in person testing next week will not take place. However, students will be tested remotely. Parents please continue to encourage your children to complete all their school assignments, as well as, their online IReady assignments. We thank the Warren County School District for making safety a continued priority.

Northside K-8 School welcomes the 2021 New Year in! We know it will be a successful and productive school year. Our students, parents, teachers, administrators, school district, and community will be all working collaboratively to ensure our students make growth (academically, socially, and emotionally) in this new year. We enter this new year with a spirit of determination to leave the old year behind and embrace the new year. A new year filled with hope, gratitude and student record breaking academic success! What a great year this is going to be! Just a reminder, there are only a few more days left for your child to complete the Study Island "Winter Intervention Opportunity" assignments, due on January 4, 2021. Your child's teacher should have already shared this school wide opportunity for all students to improve their grade. Information was also posted on our website prior to the holiday break. Virtual classes will start back up again on January 5, 2021. Student in person IReady testing will start on January 11, 2021. Letters with more information will be mailed out on Monday, January 4, 2021. Detailed IReady testing information was also posted on our website prior to the holiday break.

Winter Intervention Study Island Opportunity: All Northside K-8 students will have an opportunity to improve their grades by completing lessons in Study Island over the winter break. Please contact your child's teacher directly, if they have not shared this opportunity with you already, and how it will help your child. All students can access Study Island on the District website click where it says : "STUDENTS: Warren County Student Login" The winter break is also a time in which many students complete any missing assignments to ensure that they will get good grades for the next report card. All grades will be finalized on January 4, 2021, when teachers return back to school for a mandatory teacher workday. Report cards will go out on January 12, 2021. Here at Northside K-8 we believe in creating pathways to ensure that your child is successful, but students must also do their part. Thank you parents for your continued support. We also value our remarkable staff members and all their efforts this year. Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays! Northside will have a holiday meal drive through pick up tomorrow between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. All students, parents and staff members are invited to partake in this delicious meal.

Northside K-8 School the main building will be closed today. The Town of Norlina will be conducting electrical work during this time. Therefore, the power will be out. All teachers will continue to provide students with quality instruction remotely as usual. Progress reports have been mailed out along with any awards day certificates that were not picked up. Teachers did an outstanding job attaching to the progress reports or noting any missing assignments. Parents please have your child complete any missing assignments as soon as possible, to ensure your child receives passing grades on the next report card. Just a reminder, to parents that gym is a required class that all students must pass in order to meet promotion guidelines. Mrs. Henderson Physical Education Teacher sent out a large number of progress reports where students were failing, only because they were not in attendance. According to the new promotion guidelines, all students must past gym. Remote learning guidelines and promotion standards are posted on the school website under the "Menu" tab. If you need to speak with Mrs. Henderson please let us know at the main office, and we will provide you with her contact information. We are so proud of our Northside K-8 students, and encourage them to stay focus, and it will pay off in the end. We thank our parents for all their support at home during this COVID19 pandemic. Last but never least, I thank the outstanding staff members here at Northside for doing a fantastic job in providing students with a quality education.

We would like to wish our Northside families a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Just a reminder, that there is no school today. Please continue to be safe during this holiday season.

Once the water, and the bathroom facilities are up working again we will return. Since we are in the middle of the COVID19 pandemic access to running water and operational bathroom facilities are a must. All are phone lines have been forwarded, so that we can still provide support to our Northside families.

A delicious Thanksgiving meal to go will be served tomorrow November 19 between the hours of 11:00 am through 1:00 p.m. at Northside. We look forward to seeing our parents and students tomorrow.
