The Importance of Family Time.....
Spending quality time with your family and loved ones is the most important thing you can do! Children grow up so fast and time with them is valuable!
October Family Challenge:
1. Choose one night per week that is for family ONLY!
2. Plan an activity, game, movie, dinner or something that the family can do together.
3. Put all electronic devices (maybe not the TV if it is movie night) on silent and put them up!
4. Enjoy each other's company!!!!!!
Not only will this produce great memories for you, it will also increase your children's social skills, communication, respect, responsibility, value of relationships and even more........
Reminders from North Side Office Staff:
Picture Re-Take Day is Wednesday, October 9th. Please return your original pictures if you wish to receive new pictures.
Bus Change Requests
If you need to change your bus location, please go to the North Side website, https://www.eastnoble.net/o/north-side-elementary, and follow these directions:
Click on the "Menu" at the top of the home page. Click the “For Families” tab and then the "Transportation" tab. When the dropdown menu appears, you will see a link called “Transportation Change Request.” When you click that link, you will be taken to a form that you can fill out and submit electronically. It will notify transportation via email that a request has been submitted and they will begin working on fulfilling the request. Once arrangements have been made and confirmed with drivers, transportation will communicate the arrangements to parents.

STUDENT ATTENDANCE:
State law says that students should miss no more than seven days of school in a school year. This means that students would be in attendance for 96% of the school year. October 8th will be day 38/180, this means we are 21% of the way through our 2019-2020 school year. Please take a moment to reflect on your child's attendance thus far! We understand that illness happens and students must miss school for vomiting, diarrhea and fever. Please remember that it is important to gather doctor's notes for the school, if this is the case. Research shows that when children are in attendance at school, they grow and achieve at higher rates. Help us instill the importance of school attendance in your child at an early age!
Below you will find a very short article regarding the relationship between school attendance and student achievement.
SCHOOL SAFETY:
North Side continues to focus on school safety. We will continue to practice monthly fire drills, periodic lock downs, an earthquake drill, tornado drills and we will also have a relocation drill. This drill is focused on leaving the building and moving to a secure location so that students may be reunited with family. Again, all of these drills are so that students and staff are ALWAYS prepared for the unexpected! Drills are not announced so they resemble real life situations. YOUR CHILDREN ARE SAFE HERE AT NORTH SIDE!
