Northside Elementary School - Back to School Edition 2021
Safety Remains our Top Priority
One thing that we know is on everyone's mind is whether or not your child will have to wear a mask at school. As of today (July 21st, 2021), masks are encouraged, but not mandated while at school. All bus riders, however, must wear a mask on the bus.

Morning Arrival
Middle and High School students will not be allowed to wait for a bus at Northside in the mornings.
If you plan to walk your child to class on the first day, you must park in the back parking lot. You may arrive at anytime between 7:30 AM and 8:00 AM, but we ask that you stay no longer than 10 minutes. This will help us to limit the number of people who are in the building and classrooms at one time. Once the bell rings at 8:00 AM, we will ask all parents to exit the classrooms and building so that the day may begin.
Afternoon Dismissal
Pre-K, Kindergarten, First Grade, and Fifth Grade Car Riders will load cars in the back parking lot. Second - Fourth Grade Car Riders will load cars in the front parking lot. All students will receive a SafeDismissal number card at Orientation. This is used for the car rider line and is essential to helping us to ensure a safe and efficient car rider dismissal. Please put it in a safe place. If you are picking up your child in the car rider line in the afternoon, you will place the number card on your passenger side dash. One of our staff members will come by your car during afternoon dismissal and put your child's number into the SafeDismissal program. When dismissal begins, the program will alert the teacher to send your student to the car loading zone to go home. All parents who do not have their number card with them will be sent to an alternative area so that we may check their ID and then call students once all of the other cars have been loaded.
