Update from Norwin School District
Superintendent Dr. Jeff Taylor
April 8, 2020
"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."

Many Harry Potter fans out there may recall this famous quote from Dumbledore, the wise headmaster of the school in which Harry Potter attends. I was reminded of this quote today when I watched a video that was created by our senior class officers. I would like to offer my sincere thanks to our senior class officers for using their collective voice in an inspirational and meaningful way.
 
I invite you to click the link below and watch our amazing students share their message of hope and positivity during these "dark" times.
Special thanks to our Senior Class officers:
 
President: Kylie Arnold
Vice-President: Angelina Baker
Treasurer: Derek Lust
Recording Secretary: Raegan Gouker
Corresponding Secretary: Logan Huss
 
Please stay safe, healthy and #NorwinStrong!
 
Best regards,
 
Dr. Jeff Taylor

Preparing for Online Instruction
NEW Norwin School District Daily Attendance Form
  • Beginning on March 30, 2020, and continuing each day during online instruction, families will be asked to complete a daily attendance form for each child in the family. The link to the attendance form will be included on the STREAM on each Google Classroom and can also be found here. We appreciate your assistance in completing this form for each child one time daily so that attendance can be entered and maintained into Skyward.

Norwin Lunches for Students in the Free and Reduced Lunch Program
  • Every Monday and Wednesday through the shutdown, the District will serve a bagged lunch from 11am - 1pm from the Norwin High School Auditorium doors (Door No. 6). The lunch program on Mondays will supply enough food for Monday and Tuesday, and the lunch program on Wednesdays will supply enough food for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
