My dear North Hi Mount families:
There are no words to describe the happiness that I feel with the events in the last 2 weeks of school. Award ceremonies went as planned, Walk-a-ton was a big success, and our Carnival was incredible! It brightens my day to see so many families united in our school, having fun, children smiling, and adults getting to know each other. Thank you for all the effort from our PTA, organizers, volunteers, and families. We are growing together.
I have been seeing more and more tardy students. I am concerned about this situation, and I want to let you know that if you are facing a challenge with your student coming on time to school, just talk to us. Being on time at school is as important as being there at all, as both impact the performance and routines of the student. Let us know how we can help.
Always yours,
Mandi Murphy

Drop-off procedures
Thank you for all your support during the morning drop-off. We have observed an increased number of cars dropping off by Dorothy Lane. Remember, this is our bus line, and even after the buses have left, we need this street clear. If cars stop in this lane, it creates traffic all the way to the crosswalks on Dorothy and 7th avenue, creating a problem for our car line too. Please don't drop off there unless is after 7:50 am (tardy)
Additionally, please don't drop off your students by the playground stairs (unless the student is going to Clayton before 7:30 am). All the students must enter by the entrance at 7th or by Dorothy Lane's door. This is for their safety.
By 7:30 AM NO CAR should stop at 7th St. since this is our car line drop off.
Welcome Mrs. Natalie Chavez!
We still need volunteers to help in the cafeteria, look for the information below. Dr. Schetz has sent information by mail as well.
Ms. Houston is our incredible dyslexia teacher. Many students on our campus benefit from her experience and dedication. She is sharing some resources with us in order to raise awareness. Thank you so much Ms. Houston for all you do!
Attached is a digital copy of Ms. Houston's favorite book to explain the different levels of dyslexia. It is from Nessy which is a website with amazing resources. The book is an easy read in a child-friendly format, with a wealth of information. Please take your time to read it, it is really cute!
Additionally here is the link for Nessy if you are looking for more information and resources. As always, we are open to any concerns that you could have about your student. Teachers are the first contact if you think your student needs any educational support.
Do you know that North Hi Mount is a Blue Zone School?
This means that we teach our students to live healthier and happier lives!
Healthy children learn better!
To achieve this, we implemented policies and provide food options that encourage healthy eating in our school. Some examples of our efforts are:
- Sharing healthy tips during morning announcements
- Promoting healthy snacks
As parents, you can help us with this effort by:
- Sending healthy lunches and snacks for your students. Avoid sugary drinks and sodas
- Reviewing the list of healthy snacks that are Blue Zone approved
- If you want to celebrate your student’s birthday in the classroom, please coordinate with your child’s teacher
Remember that you cannot bring sugary snacks, cupcakes or cookies in the classroom
Being a Blue Zone School means a way of living!
