I hope everyone had a good winter break and that you are beginning the new year refreshed and ready to go. For those who have made resolutions…you’ve got this!

This week we will be focusing on re-establishing relationships, routines, and expectations across Northpoint. This is important time, well spent, as we head into 2023 and make the most of our time together. Along with helping our kids settle back into school, here a few reminders for our families as well:

• Please call the attendance line at 763-600-5709 any time your child is absent. If there is no communication with school, students are marked “absent unexcused."
  
• For parent drop off in the morning, students should arrive no earlier than 9 a.m. They may enter the building at 9:10 a.m. (breakfast eaters may enter at 9 a.m.) and are tardy if arriving after 9:20.
  
• Parents may walk up or enter the car line if your child is a parent pick-up. If your child isn’t able to get into their car without adult assistance, please walk up instead of using the car line. In addition, please always drive forward as far as possible in the car line and avoid stopping in the designated crosswalk.
  

Thanks for helping us get a great start on this new year. Tomorrow (Thursday) you can kick off the year with some great live music. “Live on 65” welcomes Miss Myra and Moonshiners to the Fine Arts Center at Spring Lake Park High School. Tickets are $5 for students/kids and $12 for adults.

Happy January!

Our lost and found at Northpoint is quickly accumulating. Please be sure to label all of your student's items so they can be returned if they are found.

Michael Kreun has resigned from the school board as he begins his service in the Minnesota Senate. John Stroebel, former board member, has been appointed to replace him until the next election.

This fall, Michael was elected to the Minnesota Senate. Before he is sworn in, he is required to resign his school board duties. His board resignation was effective December 31, 2022.

John Stroebel served on the Spring Lake Park Schools board for 16 years, including as board chairperson from 2013 to 2018. His board service ended in 2021. His new appointment will begin January 13, 2023.

Multiage 1-2 students spent time reading a variety of Cinderella stories from Wit and Wisdom during reading. To celebrate finishing up this module, they had a "royal ball" where students dressed like the character they liked best from all seven books they read. Students learned dances from two of the countries in our texts during their time in Performing Arts. Students had a chance to perform the dances, make a wand craft, and have refreshments during their ball!

There is still time to get your tickets for Miss Myra & The Moonshiners who will take the Live on 65 stage at the Fine Arts Center tomorrow, Thursday, January 5 at 7 p.m.
