📢 Important Reminder: School Immunizations Due by October 1st 📢 All students must have their required immunizations completed by October 1, 2025, to continue attending school.
✅ What’s different this year?
In the past, families could provide proof of a scheduled appointment after the deadline, and exceptions were made. This year, no exceptions will be accepted.
🚫 Students who are not up to date on immunizations by the October 1 deadline will not be allowed to return to school until their records are complete.
We encourage families to schedule appointments as soon as possible at your local pharmacy or primary care provider to avoid any disruptions to your child’s learning. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our schools safe and healthy! ❤️

This simple step helps us move the line quicker and keeps everything running smoothly for everyone. 💙
Thank you for helping carline flow!

Heads up, parents and guardians ‼ All offices in our district will be CLOSED TOMORROW due to an internal, district-wide event for our staff members. Offices will reopen on Thursday, August 7th. Thank you!

It’s time to start thinking about Northside’s Kindergarten Independence Day! ✨
On Monday, August 18th, we’ll celebrate a big milestone for our kindergarten students as they begin walking to class all on their own. This special day marks the beginning of a new level of independence and confidence for our little learners.
While it can be a big step for both kids and parents, please know that our caring staff will be stationed throughout the building, ready to guide, encourage, and support each student along the way. 💛
We’re so excited to cheer them on as they take this important step—because we know just how capable and brave they are! 💪🎉

🚗📚 With a new school year right around the corner, that means... school traffic is back! (We know—it’s not the most fun part of the day.) But we’re here to make it as smooth as possible!
Please take a moment to check out the traffic flow flyers below and get familiar with our procedures for drop-off and pick-up.
⏰ One important heads-up: it will take time for everyone to adjust to the routine. During the first few days, delays of up to an hour are possible. Things will speed up as everyone learns the flow—promise!
We truly appreciate your patience, understanding, and kindness toward our staff and each other as we all get back into the swing of things!

Don’t forget to check off “Back to School Forms” on your 2025-26 to-do list before Open Houses! Completing the online paperwork ahead of time means less hassle and stress during that busy first week of school—because no one wants to deal with last-minute paperwork when the school year is just getting started. Get everything ready early for a smooth start! #PantherNation

🚸 Hey incoming Northside Families! 🚸 Yes, we know—it’s just the beginning of July...BUT we've got a little homework for you (for the kids, we promise 😉). The sooner you start practicing, the smoother things will go in August! 🐾Here are the TOP 3 things we’d love for you to start practicing with your soon-to-be Pre-K or Kindergarten Panther:
1️⃣ Buckling and unbuckling their seatbelt in your car! (If you plan on your child being a car rider )
2️⃣ Staying focused in a loud environment and listening for their name.
3️⃣ Using their fine motor skills and opening various food/beverage products they might encounter during breakfast/lunch times.
