Northview HS Newsletter

Attendance Matters!

Northview’s average daily attendance for the week of 2/18/25 to 2/21/25 was 97.8%.-- a 4.6% increase 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.

Parent Meetings:

We are hosting two parent meetings this week. Our first meeting is an incoming 9th grade parent meeting that will take place on Tuesday, February 25 at 5:30pm. We are then hosting an AVID parent meeting immediately after at 6:00pm. Please join us.

Meet Anthony Silva, our campus supervisor, resident sports guru, globe-trotter, and Northwoods Inn Restaurant superfan! With 10 years of coaching football at Northview, he’s been mentoring young athletes with the same energy he brings to his side hustles and sports bets. When he’s not on the field or traveling the world, you can bet he’s enjoying a hearty meal at Northwoods—his favorite spot to unwind after a busy day. Anthony’s passion for youth sports, love of adventure, and dedication to good food make him a true MVP. Just don’t bet against him (or challenge him to a Northwoods Inn salad and bread race)!
