NWEE STEM needs your junk!
Reverse engineering is definitely one of the BEST things we do in the STEM Lab at NWEE! Most of these kids have never used tools or seen the inside of electronics, so the excitement level is super high!
I want to continue this project, but we are in need of MANY more old or broken electronics to make that happen! Please send them to NWEE with your student or drop off at the front office.

NWEL Staff Spotlight
Lisa Brant, 5th Grade Teacher.
“I truly enjoy working at Northwest and our entire school community. I appreciate the collaborative approach Northwest takes to support students' academic and social emotional needs. My students bring a smile to my face daily. They challenge, support and inspire one another daily. I am extremely proud of their kindness towards others, their understanding that everyone works at a different pace and their willingness to keep trying in the classroom even when things are challenging.I love being part of a school community that fosters a positive climate and culture for our students daily!
Go Mounties!”

Snow Fest Dance - 2/5/21
Seniors and parents of Seniors,
Graduation is getting so close, a little over 4 months and that time will fly by! A few things to know:
- ALL caps, gowns, hoods and tassels will be delivered to the school and distributed at graduation practice. Graduation practice is tentatively scheduled for Monday, May 23. Plan accordingly for pictures.
- All graduation gowns purchased through Herff Jones are RENTALS so they must be returned right after graduation. Seniors get to keep their cap, tassel and hood. Again, plan accordingly for pictures.
- Additional items ordered will either be delivered to your home or to the school. If they come to the school we will let you know when they are available for pick up.
- If you have not ordered your cap and gown yet please do that ASAP. Here is the link to order: https://bit.ly/3ll02Tz As of today they had not raised the price yet. That price was set to go up as of January 1st so it could go up at any time.
If there are any other questions about graduation or Herff Jones orders you can call or email Kim Rogers - kim.rogers@nwschools.org - 517-817-4839. We will be sending out the important dates and times for seniors soon. Graduation is scheduled for Thursday, May 26.
