Hopes and Dreams
We had a great first full week here at North! Thank you to everyone who joined us for Back to School Night! We loved the opportunity to speak with you and tell you more about our school and your child's classroom. Throughout the first few weeks, students have been setting goals for themselves (like the Hopes and Dreams of Mrs. Kilroy's 1st grade class pictured here) and you may have been asked to let us know your own hopes and dreams for your child. Students have been doing a great job starting with their beginning of the year assessments, which you can expect to continue into the coming weeks. This will allow us to get to know them as learners so that we can best help them to grow over the course of this year.
