Please note that beginning in the 2025-26 school year, Northwest Community Schools will transition from a trimester schedule to a semester schedule. This change is being made to enhance academic continuity and improve financial efficiency while maintaining the integrity of all of our programs.
As always, please contact us at nw.media@nwschools.org, or submit an inquiry HERE with any questions or concerns you may have regarding this change for the 25/26 school year. More information and updates regarding the 25/26 school calendar will be published to the district's website.
