MARCH 6, 2024 - NEWSLETTER
Hello Northpoint Families!
Tomorrow marks the end of the second trimester of the school year and the start of spring break! Another reminder, even though the end of the trimester is here, there is not an end to the learning, just a pause. We will pick right up where we left off when we return back from spring break on March 19.
During the upcoming days, teachers will be working on student progress reporting and getting report cards ready to go home. Report cards will be sent home with students on March 25.
Remember there is no school for students March 8-18. We’ll see students back at school at 9:20 a.m. on Tuesday, March 19. Hopefully, spring break provides you and your family a time to rest and rejuvenate, while enjoying some warm weather and fun outdoor activities!

Northpoint Principal

The power of morning meetings
In Brooke Esselman’s classroom every Friday morning, you’ll find a group of energetic and barefoot first graders in a circle around an assortment of shoes. As part of their Morning Meeting, the class is preparing for the shoe greeting. They put one of their shoes in the center of the circle and hide the other behind their back. The goal? Take turns guessing whose shoe belongs to who as they greet another member of the class.
Students in grades PreK-6 start each day with a morning meeting to create community in the classroom. Students greet each other, spend time sharing and often discuss a specific topic like kindness, teamwork, or empathy. This time each day helps create a sense of belonging and sets the tone for the day of learning.
Through intentional planning, teachers create a climate of trust, community, respect and engagement, allowing students to feel valued and supported while honing essential life skills. Teachers tailor each meeting specific to the needs and interests within their classroom.
