Northside Mission Statement
The mission of the Northside Elementary community is to educate all students by fostering high academic standards, developing positive relationships, and encouraging social responsibility in a safe, supportive, culturally diverse environment, leading to students who are successful lifelong learners.

Food Allergy Information
Due to a number of life-threatening nut allergies among students, Northside School has been designated a "no nut" school. This means that school-provided breakfasts and lunches do not contain nuts (including peanuts, almonds, walnuts, pine nuts, or others), and student lunches, snacks, and bake sale and potluck items should not contain nuts. When bringing food to school, please read ingredient labels carefully and select items that do not contain nuts, including nut oils. For sandwich ideas, see the Top 9 Substitutes for Peanut Butter.

Some students have other food allergies which may or may not be made public. Please be considerate of these when sending snacks for sharing in the classroom. Help teach kids five simple steps they can take to keep their classmates safe. For more information about food allergies, visit The Food Allergy and Anaphylactic Network.

Northside Happenings!

Bagel Friday's

 Bagel Friday's have been a long standing tradition at Northside Elementary School for about fifteen years. The tradition was begun by Ms. Julie Lutz and the money raised goes directly to help fund Northside's spring fifth grade camp trip. Bagels are 1.00 - 1.25 with cream cheese. Bagels are sold on Friday mornings in the A.M. There is also coffee for adults and juice for everyone. Drop by and chat with some friends or meet some new ones and also help send our wonderful fifth graders to camp!

Northside Elementary School has been a green school for the last three years and has been since the 2009-2010 school year. We are currently Emerald status and are working hard to earn the top award of evergreen. Things we do to be a green school, turning off lights when leaving rooms not in use, bird house habitat, composting and recycling in the lunchroom and classrooms. Wehave earned the evergreen level!
