Please let us know you are coming by completing the Google Form: Grandparents Day RSVP Everyone will be required to present a picture ID and receive a visitor's badge through the Raptor system on the day of the event.

We are happy to be able to celebrate our grandparents in this way! | Future Brahma Game Our Future MacArthur Brahma Football game is this Friday, September 2! There will be a contest to see which school in the Mac Cluster has the most spirit, so wear a Northwood Shirt to show your Northwood pride. Let's try to keep the trophy that we won last year! Added bonus....The Northwood Choir will be singing The National Anthem at the beginning of the game. There will also be a pre-game "tail gate party" with an inflatable slide/obstacle course, face painting, paletas and Mac PALS to help the Future Brahmas run through the Bull before kickoff. It will be a great time, you won't want to miss it! | School Absences Our goal is for all of our students to maintain outstanding attendance (95%). The best way to learn is by being present at school. If you child needs to be absent due to illness, please be sure to send a note to school the day they return explaining the reason for the absence. Absences for illness and medical appointments will be excused with a written note. |
