ISD 279 Winter Job Fair

HR will be hosting our 2023 ISD 279 Winter Job Fair on Saturday, February 25th from 10 am - 12:30 pm at Edinbrook Elementary. This will be the second year for our winter job fair!


The goal of our job fair is to recruit for our jobs. We will invite job seekers to come to meet and network with our teams to learn about the jobs and career opportunities that we have. There will be laptops available for job seekers to apply onsite. We will also explore onsite interview opportunities. We look forward to having you join us and/or help us convey information about this event.

In Case You Missed it!

November and December were very eventful at North View Middle School. We hosted an honor roll breakfast and partnered with the Three Rivers District organization to provide outdoor adventures for our students. We have included a few highlights below in case you missed them.

Honor Roll Breakfast

NVMS always recognizes its students’ great work, encouraging them to keep on doing their best! We did this in January by hosting a special breakfast for our students who are on the Honor Roll to celebrate their success and great academic achievements.


The celebration was intended for students who had either all A’s or A’s and B’s on their report cards during the first and second quarters. We believe that academic achievement and keep up the good work in classes have to be rewarded, as those students set an exceptional example for other students to look up to!

Reading Resources

If you are interested in supporting your child's reading growth consider accessing the Reading Resources site found here.

The purpose of these opportunities is to provide students with physical and outdoor activities that they may not have experienced before.

These opportunities began in January and will continue throughout the year on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. If you or your family are interested in experiences like these, click here to be taken to events that may interest you.
