6th, 7th and 8th grade students will be allowed to sign up to take their Chromebooks home starting next week (9/25/23). Sign ups are in alma start. Just go into alma and click on your initials at the top right of the screen (it might be on the bottom if you're using the mobile app). Click on “alma start” and select your student. You should see the link for the netbook take home program 2023-2024 Fill out the online forms and your student can start taking his/her Chromebook home the next day. Please make the check payable to Northwood School. The price is now $30 instead of $35. What a bargain!!!

Ensuring Safety at Dismissal

We understand that the parent pick up line can take quite a while and we appreciate your patience with our process that provides an orderly and safe dismissal from the courtyard. Some parents have expressed concerns regarding safety when students are dismissed as walkers and then walk to a car waiting in the parking lot. The concerns center around both students walking by and between cars in the pick up line as well as cars cutting through the line and going in the opposite direction through the narrow Bow Street entrance. We respectfully ask that parents who are picking up utilize the pick up line and follow our established procedures for dismissal.  Thank you!

Mrs. Magnusson's Class wishes everyone a wonderful weekend!

School & Community Information

Northwood families, did you know that our town is part of the Dolly Parton Imagination Library program? If you have a child ages birth to 5 and are a Northwood resident, you can sign them up. Each month an age appropriate book will mailed to your home to keep and enjoy. Your child’s personal library is generously sponsored by local businesses and individuals that understand the importance of early literacy. Without them none of this would be possible. If interested in being a sponsor please let us know. 

We hope you and your child will enjoy story time resulting in a love of reading that will benefit them for years to come.  Follow this link to sign them up.
