SEPTEMBER 6, 2023 - NEWSLETTER
Hello Northpoint Families!
It was so great to see all of our students coming through the doors yesterday for the first day of school. The smiling faces, fist bumps, high fives and hugs have been all over Northpoint! It’s been fun to get into the classrooms and see all the strong relationships being built from day one!
Please make note in today’s newsletter of the Student Behavior and Attendance Expectations we’re asking you to review and acknowledge in Campus Parent Portal. Please take a few minutes within the next week to review these expectations together with your student(s).
Attendance is critical as we build relationships and begin a new year of learning together. Thank you for the role you play in getting your student to school each day, on time and ready to learn. We monitor student attendance and will partner with our families to support regular attendance at Northpoint. We also have high expectations for student behavior. Reviewing these expectations together sets the tone for a great start to the year.
It feels great to get the school year underway! Please let us know in the office if you have any questions as the year progresses!

Principal
Complete your review of student behavior and attendance expectations
Each year, we ask students and families to review student behavior and attendance expectations. After reviewing together, we ask families to acknowledge they have done so. This process helps set the tone for students as they begin the year and clarifies for students how we all expect them to conduct themselves each day at school.
Please take five minutes to log into Campus Parent Portal and review these expectations with your student.
- Log in to Campus with your district username and password.
- Select your student in the upper right corner.
- On the main menu click on DOCUMENT.
- Locate the Parent Documents section.
- Click on the 2023-2024 Behavior and Attendance Agreement.
- Review the document with your student.
- Sign and submit.
- Repeat these steps if you have more than one student in the district.
You can also expect to receive a message directly from Campus reminding you to review and sign this document. Please review at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about these expectations, reach out to your school principal.

Live on 65: 7,000 Miles to Broadway
Road trips in the yellow station wagon with the car radio blasting the tunes of the time have become the soundtrack to J. Robert Spencer’s life. His entertaining biographical show, “7,000 Miles to Broadway,” kicks off the new season of the Live on 65 performance series Saturday, October 7, 2023 at 7 p.m. in the Spring Lake Park High School Fine Arts Center.
Thanks to continued generous sponsorship from the Spring Lake Park Lion's Club, tickets are priced for the whole family to attend. Purchase tickets online or day-off at the box office.
We recently caught up with J. Robert Spencer at his home in Oregon to learn more about the show, his background in theater, television, film and voice work and what audiences can expect to experience at “7,000 Miles of Broadway.” Learn more about the show.
