North Elementary School

Good afternoon! We are excited to see everyone at Open House tonight which is from 5:00-6:30. We do have a bit of unexpected maintenance construction happening in the 2nd grade main hallway. Due to this, we are asking that you enter the building closest to your child's classroom. Preschool: No Open House Kindergarten/First Grade: use door labeled 2 which is the K/1 door (the same door as the one you will use in the morning) or door 1 which is the main office entrance if your child typically rides the bus 2nd Grade (all classes except for Mrs. Schaeff): use door 1 which is the main office entrance (the same door as the one you will use in the morning) 2nd Grade Mrs. Schaeff ONLY: use door labeled 5 which is the 3rd/4th entrance for the drop off/pick up area 3rd/4th Grade: use door labeled 5 which is the 3rd/4th entrance for the drop off/pick up area We still want everyone to enjoy the Health & Wellness Fair which will be going on in the cafeteria. For our classrooms located down the 4th grade/Mrs. Schaeff/3rd Grade hallway, you can still get to the cafeteria by exiting out the playground doors, and entering the fair at the cafeteria doors like the kids use for recess time. We are working hard to finish our construction project prior to the kids returning for the school year. Please keep your children with you during Open House. Thank you for your flexibility and help tonight! Mrs. Paquette
