Registration
Registration will begin on August 23rd and run throughout the week. All grades will be split alphabetically to try to balance the numbers during the day. If you cannot make it during your time slot, please feel free to come when you are able. Registration will include getting a copy of class schedules, the opportunity to talk to a counselor, taking a school picture and picking up text books. Students will also be able to pick up the 20-21 yearbook if it was ordered last year. The schedule for yearbook handout is below. Due to construction, students will not have the opportunity to go to lockers or tour the building.
Registration will start in the breezeway that connects B-Building with the cafeteria. Enter the breezeway where the balloons are located.
Students who are unable to attend during registration week will need to register on the first day of school, starting at 7:30am outside of the main office.
You must complete pre-registration online before coming to registration next week!

North's Fall Play Audition Information
A Toby Show
A Toby Show brings back to the stage an American folk character of Toby, a country bumpkin who through naiveté, honesty and homespun humor outwits the city slickers. This farce melodrama recreates traditional situations and stock characters through jokes and stage business. Starring in Cinderella, Toby enacts a comic variation of the fairy godmother. With music and specialty numbers, the production excitingly evokes the joy of experiencing an authentic example of American folk theatre.

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Norsemen Athletes~
We hope you had a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable summer with your family, friends, and loved ones. It’s hard to believe it’s time to begin another school year. We are looking forward to a successful, healthy and “more normal” school and sports year.
North has been quite busy with “home improvements”. Construction has been ongoing with many new site renovations, our new track being one of them. Our secondary office (that was once in the back of the building in the counselor’s center) will now be located up front, much closer to the main athletic office. These are just a few of the changes you’ll see the next time you stop in to say “hello”.
