A Note from the Principal

You have awesome Kids!  Today was not a typical day at the schoolhouse.  Throughout the morning as we waited for power to be restored, your students moved about their daily schedule as usual.  The students were respectful and well behaved.  As I went from class to class checking in with students and staff, it was evident that the students and staff practiced flexibility and adjusted to the situation at hand.  After all, isn't that what life is about: adjusting to curve balls that get thrown our way.  I do appreciate your patience. Our office staff worked tirelessly this morning answering the many phone calls that came in to ask pertinent and important questions.  All students received lunch.  District maintenance crews checked classrooms to monitor heat levels.  Power was restored around 11:20 AM.  I observed many students learning, collaborating, and enjoying some time connecting with their peers and teachers.  Please let me know if you have questions, and, again, thank you for your continued support.

5/4/09 Information on Swine Flu/Prevention Tips

Please check your children each morning to make sure they are well enough to attend school. Symptoms of swine flu include fever, sore throat, cough, body aches, headaches, chills, and fatigue. If you or your child has these symptoms, stay home, and, if needed, contact your health-care provider or consult with your school nurse.

Northshore schools are working closely with public health officials to plan for and prevent a swine flu outbreak. We will continue to provide regular updates for parents and staff members.  SchoolCenter Picture
