Thank you to every family who donated to the canned food drive, organized by Mrs. McGregor. Anderson Interfaith Ministries picked up 350 cans brought in by our students! Wow!

You are such a giving community!

Please see the link below for online ordering of North Pointe items. The deadline for ordering is December 6th. This gives the company time to place the order and deliver before the winter break. We will disperse to your child upon arrival or you can pick up in the office.

We are closely monitoring our morning drop off and number of tardies.

There are a few things that you can do to help us with the congested traffic between 7:45-7:55 daily.

• Arrive between 7:15 and 7:45! Traffic moves very smoothly between this time each morning. At 7:45, our 4K program drop off begins and parents crossing the driveway causes backup at times.

• Ride the Bus! We have a very low percentage of students who ride the bus to school in the mornings.

• Carpool! Many of our families live in the same neighborhoods. Carpooling is helpful to everyone!

• Do not walk your child in to school unless you are late. Those who park in the front and walk in cause traffic backup in the car line. This can be prevented if you will drop off in the right lane.

I sincerely appreciate your help with our growing pains!

Due to graduation planning for TL Hanna and Westside, the schedules for the last week of school have changed. Please be aware of the following:

Monday, June 1: 11:00 Dismissal

Tuesday, June 2: Full Day of School

Wednesday, June 3: 11:00 Dismissal

Thursday, June 4: 11:00 Dismissal (Last Day of School for Students)

Because of this change to the schedule, we have to move our Awards Day for 1st and 2nd Grades to Thursday, May 28th. 1st and 2nd are the only grade-levels affected by this change. We will announce times closer to the date.

North Pointe is schedule for a Skate Night with CountyBank Holiday Ice on December 19th! Students 7 and up will pay $5 while those 6 and under pay $3.

Students sign in at the table there. This is where we get our count. Skate aids are available for $3 each. Skate rental is included in admission.

Hope to see you all there!
