Week of September 9th 2024

Hello Wonderful Northridge Elementary folks,

This week, we will have an assembly addressing our NR BEE Mission: Empowering All Students To Reach Their Fullest Potential and Viking Values: Trust, Leadership, Communication, Collaboration, Accountability, Integrity & Respect.

Thank you for updating FINAL FORMS with emergency contact information on your child. We are almost complete....we have 41 children we are needing to update NOW. :) We emailed you if we are missing your file or signature. Thank you for your attention to this important matter. We have field trips planned and need to also be prepared when we take kids off campus.

We hope everyone is enjoying our yummy LUNCH and BREAKFAST program.Thank you, Mrs. Lewis and staff for providing such fun, yummy lunches to enjoy! Last week many kids loved the stromboli and cheesy broccoli!! Thank you!!! Great brain power!!

We have folks wanting to volunteer in our school or perhaps attend upcoming field trips. Please complete these forms as part of our security process formality. Please complete both. Once we get the form back approved, we will get everyone board approved. :) All for the safety of our children.

BIG, BIG, BIG, HUGE reminders for everyone:

-Please remember to supervise children at BUS STOPS to keep everyone SAFE! We have to have someone at the BUS STOP for the little ones please.

-Please always check into the office, when visiting school. We do this for security purposes. Have your ID ready please for check in! We have everyone doing this.

-Please follow the TRAFFIC rules when on campus. Watch for our children and families. Please drive 20 mph at the most. Watch for our children and families.

-Please DO NOT allow children to hang out car/van windows when dropping off children OR leaving school, as we are so concerned about safety. We do not want anyone to get hurt. We are concerned they may fall out.

-Please do keep a keen ear on your children during on-line game playing. Some games are very dangerous for children and children are bringing their disappointing results/losses into school and the conflict resolution is tough. We are asking for family help with this.

Are you concerned about the many issues surrounding your

child’s use of smartphones, tablets, computers, video games

and other screens in your home? Do you wonder how much

screen time is appropriate and what types of guidelines to

establish for your child? Are you aware that screen-time

issues are quite different for children of different ages?

with children of different ages. Parents may attend any or all

of the following programs – just please register at least four
