Northview Public Schools values feedback from all stakeholders. Please take a few minutes to take our School Climate Survey

This survey will obtain parent perceptions of our schools climate within the following five subscales: teaching and learning, school safety, interpersonal relationships, institutional environment, and parent involvement. The survey is brief, reliable, and valid for assessing perceived school climate from the family perspective. The survey will be open for your participation until June 1. Thank you for partnering with Northview Public Schools.

• Stay in your car

• Please pull into a parking spot to buckle up your student(s) or if you are walking to parent pick up

• “Parent Pick Up” is located at the end of the sidewalk and labeled

*SHOES: All students should wear closed toed shoes to protect their feet during the variety of games and activities throughout the day. Please no flip-flops or sandals.

*CLOTHING: Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for approximately three hours of outside time. The students will be participating in water activities. An extra dry t-shirt and/or towel may be desired. Hats may also be worn outdoors.

*WATER BOTTLE: Water bottles are encouraged. A water station will be available outside as well.

*SUNSCREEN: If you would like your child to wear sunscreen please apply it at home prior to coming to school.

*PARTICIPANTS: Field Day is a day of fun centered around our students. As much as we all would like to share in their fun we ask that parents and guardians do not attend field day. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

We are looking forward to a great day of games and teamwork with our little wildcats!

Your child must attend a screening time for DK/K placement.

We look forward to meeting your child.

ALL BOOKS NEED TO BE RETURNED TO THE LIBRARY!

Thank you for your help with this. Have a great summer and HAPPY READING!!!

We have a limited supply of extra yearbooks if you did not purchase one. They are $10, cash only. These are first come, first serve.

Student Absences

Just a reminder if your student will be absent or late please email westoffice@nvps.net or call 616.361.3470 the day of the absence.

Student Tardy

Students are marked tardy if they arrive to class after the 8:25 bell. Please make sure to sign them in on the Chromebook located in our lobby if you drop off students after this time.

Student Pick Up

Please contact the office before 2:00 pm with any pick up or end of day changes. This helps the office make sure the students will get the message in time.

*If your student is attending an appointment of any kind please provide the office with a doctor's note.

We are at the point where truancy/attendance letters are being sent out and want to make sure we are working together to have your student in school as often as possible. Please know that this reporting is mandatory by the state of Michigan and is something we are required to do.

• The end of the school year is quickly approaching! Per Northview school policy, we cannot
  keep medication at school over the summer, this includes inhalers, emergency medications
  including Epi-pens. Please remember to pick up your child’s medication(s) on or before the last day of the school.

• If your child becomes ill at school, we will contact you to pick him/her up. We have no accommodations for sick children at school. Please help us by keeping your child at home in the morning if they are ill or have a contagious condition. Students should remain home until they have been fever free (fever: 100.4F or greater) without medication for 24 hours.
  
• Medication Forms are required for dispensing any medications, both over the counter and prescribed. All prescription medications require a physician signature. Parents must personally bring in medications and they may not be sent in with students.
• It is a great idea to keep an extra pair of underwear and pants in a ziploc bag in the bottom of your child's backpack (accidents happen).
• Remember, if your child has a fever, they must be fever free for 24 hours without medication before returning to school.
• It is important to make sure proper hand washing is happening. Especially after using the bathroom and before eating. Also making sure clothes are laundered often; including outerwear: coats, hats and mittens.

Please take a quick minute to fill out this Volunteer Consent Form. This is required for anyone who wants to attend a field trip, help with popping popcorn, working at the school store etc. Once the form is filled out it does take 5-7 business days to process, so make sure to fill it out at least a 7 business days in advance.
