Lost & Found
Our lost and found is growing. Please encourage your child to look through items hanging in the cafeteria to ensure they have collected any missing items. We are seeing jackets, lunchboxes, and water bottles. In order to help us identify items when they are found, we encourage you to write your child's name somewhere on the item.
Richland Two Choice & Magnets
North Springs is proud to offer the STEMS magnet program as a unique learning opportunity for elementary students. There are also several magnet programs available at the middle school level for our fifth graders to consider.

Who's Who at NSE
There are advantages for children when families become involved, namely, increased motivation for learning, improved behavior, more regular attendance, and a more positive attitude about school in general. Research shows that the more families and schools share relevant information with each other about a student, the better equipped both will be to help that student achieve school success. In addition to your student’s teacher there are lots of other support staff here at NSE to support both you and your student. You may work with some of us during your time at NSE. Let’s check out Who’s Who!
