Get ready for an educational adventure as Northville Public Schools introduces a Young 5's Program, launching in Fall 2024! Geared towards ensuring kindergarten readiness for our little learners, this tuition-free program is designed to boost academic, social, language, and fine motor skills. It will be a five-day-a-week program that serves as a bridge between preschool and typical kindergarten. These classrooms will be for students born between July 1, 2019-December 1, 2019.

Enrollment for our new Young 5's Program will open January 2024. We have posted several helpful documents on our Young 5's website including Frequently Asked Questions, Early Learners Program Comparison, and Kindergarten Readiness.

Please complete our Interest Survey if you would like to receive additional information in the spring and instructions for enrollment.

Check out the video below to experience our excitement!

Tickets are limited to 200 people on a first come, first served basis. Current Moraine students FREE (ticket still required)! Click here to purchase.

For any questions, please contact ptamoraine@gmail.com.

Unsure what to give your selected staff members for the holidays? GiftCrowd is a great solution! Simply submit your desired spending amount in a staff member's "profile", and at the end of the campaign, (s)he gets to pick whatever gift cards (s)he wants! It is a win-win :)

The Moraine 2023-24 Yearbook order site is now open. Cost is $20 per yearbook and can be ordered at yearbookordercenter.com, using code 12969 or use the QR code in the attached flyer. Yearbook orders are due March 31, 2024.

Moraine Penguins! All are invited to participate in the Yearbook Cover Contest! Please see details attached for your entry. Question can be submitted to moraineyearbook@gmail.com

We are asking for all parent participation on photo collection this year! If you have a moment, we ask that you please use the following links to upload photos to be used in this year’s yearbook*.

- 5th Grade Capitol Trip: CLICK HERE

- Heritage/Victorian Festival: CLICK HERE

- Fall Fling: CLICK HERE

*Please note that all photos used in the yearbook will be double-checked for students who cannot be printed in our yearbook via parent requests submitted through Moraine.

Please note that as of Monday, November 27, we will be extending the "No Pets on Campus" policy to arrival and dismissal. With this being a high traffic time of day, adding animals that may overly excite or scare children can create a safety issue.

While our pets are well-loved by many, our first priority is a safe and efficient arrival/dismissal of our 400+ students. For those that have pets they would like to walk to school, you may choose to have your child meet you off campus, such as the sidewalk path in NBW or in the cul de sac behind the school.

Thank you for partnering with us!

For the 2023-2024 school year, Northville Public Schools is applying to receive grant funding through the State School Aid Act. This funding is designated for activities, services, or products necessary to improve or maintain the mental health of students and staff and/or improve student safety.

We are seeking input and feedback from district stakeholder groups, including students, parents and staff members, as we begin to develop a plan for the most appropriate use of the funds to support the mental health and safety needs of students, within the parameters of the grant.

Your input is valued greatly and we hope you take a few minutes and participate in this brief survey. We look forward to learning about your thoughts, ideas and priorities for use of these funds to support mental health and improve student safety.

Questions or comments may be directed to nps@northvilleschools.org.
