NORTHSIDE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Dear Northside Student and Parent/Guardian,
Welcome back for the 2008–2009 school year at Northside Elementary! The summer is winding down and our August 14th start date is quickly approaching. I am excited to start another year with the Northside family and I have high expectations for this school year. We are committed to continuous improvement at Northside and it is a priority to maintain a positive atmosphere for students, staff, and parents. I believe that we can promote this philosophy by working together as a school community and focusing on doing what is best for our kids.
A “Meet and Greet” event for 1st -5th grades is planned for Thursday, August 7th from 6:00-7:00pm. Incoming Kindergarten students and parents will have a separate meeting on Tuesday, August 5th. This will give you an opportunity to meet your child’s teachers and drop off school supplies. The Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) will be on hand to answer questions and seek your involvement. Please stop by for a visit to check things out.
Please read over the additional information listed below. We look forward to seeing you on August 7th and kicking off another fantastic year at Northside Elementary!
Sincerely,
Ryan Asher, Principal
