Hello Warhawks!
Welcome back to full days of live instruction on April 5 for both our in-person and remote groups! We will move to our full day nine period schedule and students will have all of their classes each day. You should have received a letter on Wednesday, March 24, that has all of the information about your student's group, in-person or remote. You can also find videos with the details for each group below. These videos were also emailed to your students so they understand the schedule, expectations, and safety protocols as well.
Please never hesitate to ask for help. Our teachers, social workers, nurse, staff, and administration are here to help. Give our office a call at 815-338-4900 and we will get you connected. Warhawks take care of each other and we are here to work together and support each other.
Hope all of our Northwood families have had a wonderful Spring Break. Have a GROOVY week, Warhawks!
