Northview HS Newsletter

Attendance Matters!

Northview’s average daily attendance for the week of 2/24/25 to 2/28/25 was 96.9%.-- a 0.9% decrease from last week. Let’s keep striving for even better attendance!

WASC Visit (March 3 through March 5):

The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) ensures educational quality through accreditation. This process helps our school reflect, improve, and enhance student success.

Throughout the last 18 months, we conducted a self-study, gathering input from students, staff, and families to assess programs, student support, and school culture. From this, we developed an Action Plan for growth and identified three key areas of growth.

From March 3rd through March 5, a WASC visiting committee will review our findings, meet with community partners, and provide valuable feedback. This process will strengthen our school, ensuring continuous improvement and high-quality learning. Thank you to our school community for your commitment to excellence. Please see our WASC video below.

Junior SAT Day

All Northview Juniors get the opportunity to take the SAT on March 19, 2025 during the school day for free! Please keep an eye out for practice tests and information via Parent Square.

At the event, students will have the chance to meet industry professionals and explore career paths in building trades, healthcare, first responders, arts and media, more! This is a unique opportunity for students to learn about hands-on careers that don’t require a traditional four-year degree but still offer stability, great pay, and long-term growth.

We can’t wait to bring the Trades to the forefront at Northview High! See you there!
