Hello Northpoint families:
We’re nearing the end of second trimester. As usual, our school year is flying by! As a school community we are enjoying being able to come together again as a result of some eased COVID-19 precautions. We have celebrated with two all-school meetings.
Yesterday, we donned our house colors and kicked off “I Love to Read” month with houses engaging in some friendly competition. I’m personally a bit proud as my house, “the Red Amicus” won as house of the month for February! Please review the calendar in the Need to Know section for daily festivities celebrating our collective love of reading at Northpoint. There are a number of fun events planned.
Spring break is almost here. There is no school Friday, March 11-Monday, March 21. School resumes Tuesday, March 22 with the beginning of the third trimester. Please look for report cards to be available in Campus parent portal on March 24. More details to come!
Have a wonderful week,
Judi Kahoun
