Today we had some very special visitors at Northside! 💙

The HS Homecoming Court stopped by to visit classrooms and read to our students. It was the sweetest sight seeing our little ones listening so closely and our high school leaders sharing their love of reading.

Last week, we wrapped up National School Counselors Week by celebrating our very own Mrs. Kristen Griffin-Holbert! 👏 Arisa Health honored Kristen with the 2026 Mental Health Champion Award. Her peers describe her as an exceptional counselor—patient, calm, a safe place for others, and a true team player. We couldn’t agree more! #Limitless

💘 Valentine’s Parties at Northside are almost here!

We're back, baby! 🥳 School will be in session tomorrow, Friday, January 30, with limited rural bus routes. Our Transportation Department will contact families on affected routes directly. We can’t wait to see your smiling faces tomorrow, Panther Nation!

There will be NO SCHOOL tomorrow, Thursday, January 29th. We understand that many main roads are clear and that this decision may be frustrating for some. However, we ask that you consider the back roads where many of our students live, which remain icy and unsafe. At this time, we cannot safely send buses on those roads. Thank you for understanding, Panther Nation.

There will be NO SCHOOL tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28th, due to many back roads still being slick and dangerous. Safety is our top priority—for buses, students, and families—and the roads aren’t quite safe enough yet. Thank you for your understanding ❄️

We are trying to keep things lively with our "No School" posts. 😅 There will be no school tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27, due to inclement winter weather. No angry elves over here, though! Transportation Director Mr. Avery is all smiles 😉—and we’re sure many of our students are, too! Sledding, snow ice cream, hot chocolate, TV time....bring it on snowmageddon!

There will be NO SCHOOL tomorrow, Monday, January 26th, due to winter weather. Stay safe and warm, Panther Nation! ❄️

Heads up, parents ‼️Long 3-day weekend ahead. Our schools will be closed on Monday, January 19th, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

🌟 Shoutout to these 3 students who have joined our growing group of Alphabet Super Stars! Way to go! ⭐📚

Our rescheduled Family Game Night will be Monday, January 26 from 5:00–6:30. Come enjoy fun games with your family!

Way to go, Mrs. Melissa Kennedy’s class! 🎉 They took home the Panther Award at Friday’s Panther Party for hard work! 🐾

What a fun Panther Party today! 🐾 We celebrated working hard as teachers modeled it with a skit and Minute to Win It games, all while students cheered them on. A special visit from Shadow made the celebration even better!

Heads up ❗As the new year progresses, we want to remind families that flu season is ramping up. We highly encourage parents to please do daily checks, and if your child has a fever, keep them home so we can limit the spread. Thank you!

🎄 Holiday Break Reminder 🎄As we head into the festive season, we want to remind our families that Christmas Break begins December 22 and continues through January 6. Students will return to school on Wednesday, January 7.

Please note that all school and district offices will be closed from December 22–January 2. Offices will reopen on Monday, January 5.

We hope you enjoy a safe, restful, and joyful holiday season with your loved ones! ✨
