Hello Warhawks!
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! Thank you to our entire NMS staff for their dedication, perseverance, and care for our students. The Northwood staff is an amazing group of educators that I feel very luck to work with. Thank you to the NMS PTO for their donation to help Mr. Baier and me make the week special for our staff. We would love to hear from our students and families too. If you would like to share a thank you, please click the link below to share a shout out or a quick video from your student or your family. We will put them together to share with our staff to celebrate. Thank you for your support of our teachers!
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.
Have a GROOVY week, Warhawks!
