From the Assistant Principal

Hello Northwood Families,

Over the next few weeks the staff at NWS will be giving “thankful shout outs” to kids who demonstrate expected behavior. The kids will have their shout-outs read during morning announcements and they will be hung up in the hallway. Below are the kids, or groups of kids, who received shout-outs this week. Great job NWS staff and students!

- Mr. Drolet

News from Kindergarten

We are all in the 2 club!  We have been practicing counting by 2’s from 2-20, and very excited to say we can all recite counting by 2’s independently! 2, 4, 6, 8 counting by 2’s is really great!

Want to Get More Involved?

Volunteers Needed:

Want to help copy things for teachers, chaperone a field trip, or help out with fun events during school hours? If you would like to volunteer in the building/field trips, there are a few steps in order for this to happen. First you will need to fill out a volunteer form. (This form needs to be completed every year.) Once you have returned the completed form to the school, you will need to schedule fingerprinting through the SAU office. After that has cleared (usually 3-4 weeks), we look forward to your help!
