APRIL 17, 2024 - NEWSLETTER
Hello Northpoint Families!
Last Friday, we hosted the high school cast of “Beauty and the Beast.” It was fun welcoming the cast to Northpoint (many former students) and you can either take my word for it or ask your child - they put on a great show for our students!! Check out some photos in the newsletter today.
As I’ve mentioned in the last few weeks, the spring is an extremely busy time around the school and in the district. Whether it’s 3/4th grade families joining for music on Thursdays in April, field trips, K in Action Night or the school carnival, there are a lot of exciting things happening.
One new thing we are happy to try this year is a learner showcase. In partnership with the PTO, on the same night as the carnival, as the students are having fun with the games, parents can swing into classrooms and pods and walk the hallways to take a look at some of the great learning that has taken place this year. We’ll have more specific information in the coming weeks!
Spring is always a very fun and rewarding time of year. This is the time of year that we typically see the biggest student growth. We frequently get asked, “What can I do to make sure my child is making growth?” One of the biggest ways you can help is by getting them to school as much as possible. We know there are times where illness or appointments happen, but the more frequently your child is at school, on time, the more growth we will see. Let’s take advantage of every moment!

Mileage Club
Mileage Club is BACK and we are in need of volunteers to help make it a big success! If you're new to the Northpoint community, Mileage Club is a great opportunity for students to burn off energy by walking & running laps during their recess PLUS they earn toe tokens for their efforts! It's a great time to be outside and even better when we can support our amazing SLP students, too! The shifts are short so it's easy to come cheer for your child and their peers. If possible, please download the Run Club app {see below} before your first shift. If you have any questions, please email us at nppto.volunteer@gmail.com.
Please CLICK HERE to sign up for as many recess shifts as you would like. Thank you again for helping us make this memorable school event a success!
Download the app for APPLE or ANDROID here. We will provide the login information at the start of your first recess shift. Thank you!
