West Weekly
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.
