February 21, 2024 - NEWSLETTER
Hello Northpoint Families!
I hope everyone had a restful and rejuvenating long weekend. It was great to see so many families in for conferences on Thursday evening and Friday. If you were unable to attend a conference but would like to connect with a teacher, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Panthers for a Purpose Week of Giving has arrived! There are ways for everyone to get involved. You can participate in the fun spirit days, make a few bids in the online auction or grab dinner through the dining to donate opportunities. I hope you and your family find a way that works for you to participate. This is the Panther Foundation’s largest fundraising event of the year and the money raised directly benefits our schools and students.
Tomorrow, our next pulse check from Possip will be sent out. Thank you in advance for sharing your experiences. We review every single comment. It’s always fun to share praise comments with staff, and questions and concerns help us in our next actions at school.
Have a great rest of the week.
Tyler Nelson
Principal
It's time to make some updates
- iPad Update REQUIRED for State Testing: According to Apple and our state testing platforms, all iPads must be updated to the latest version of iPadOS (17.3.1) in order to fix some known bugs on iPads with our state testing apps. Please ensure that your student’s iPads are updated by going to Settings>General>Software Update. If you require any assistance, please contact Technology Services by emailing techsupport@district16.org or call 763-600-5555.
- Update your SLP App: The Spring Lake Park Schools mobile app has been updated to the latest version. With a newly enhanced home screen, intuitive user experience and a fresh take on news feeds, you'll be able to find everything you want, all in one place. To see this newest version of the app, please make sure your app is updated. Don't have the SLP mobile app? Learn more and find directions on how to download our free app.

Football fun in math!
Football season has come and gone, but while it was still underway, Multiage 3/4 Math made fantasy football teams and used stats to figure out who they were choosing to win the big game and then used those stats to figure out points.
The pod also played football math games, had a dance party in the pod, did graphing, read about the big game, made predictions, and finished off with a house challenge.
Breakfast Station Donations
Thank you to all of the Northpoint parents who generously made donations for the Teacher & Staff Breakfast Station during Winter Conferences! Please know how much your kindness and support is appreciated. Thank you again!
