A Note from the Principal
We were excited that so many of our families were able to spend Field Day with us. The weather was beautiful and the kids were excited to share the day with their friends and family members. We also appreciate those of you that were able to attend Open House this week. Our teachers really enjoyed being able to show off what your children have been learning this year.
We are blessed to have such amazing support from you through our PTO, Watch DOGS, and parent volunteer programs. You are truly appreciated!
I'd also like to thank you for your continued support as we journey through the year. We are so happy that you have chosen us for your child's education. We believe that educating children is a partnership between the school and the families we serve. We value your participation at our school events and also appreciate your input with ideas and suggestions as to how we can improve. We have a comment box in our front office and an anonymous customer service survey form on our North Elementary website, if you would like to give any feedback. We would also be happy to visit with you in person. Your child's success is our most important priority. Thank you for sharing your child with us each day.
