SCHOOL SAFETY MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER

An efficient dismissal time requires the cooperation of the entire North Lake School Community. The chief priority is safely transitioning students to their next destination via bus, car, or foot. The District has many new and existing safeguards in place to make this process successful and safe.

All 5 buses must be staged and ready in the back parking lot before students are dismissed to load.
A staff member is stationed as a crossing guard at the three way stop on Park Road to assist student walkers.
DO NOT park on Park Drive or Highway VV. Please park in the parking lot or join the car line.
Students may enter vehicles in the car line on their own; however, parents who park should meet their child at Door A on the sidewalk. Please escort your child to your vehicle.

We are trying to best accommodate the increasing parent transportation issues while keeping kids safe. Thank you for your cooperation on behalf of the children and feel free to share this information with other parents, grandparents, and siblings.

KINDERGARTEN WITH MISS H

My name is McKaelee Hoehnen, but the students call me Miss H. I am so excited to be the long term sub at North Lake in Kindergarten! I love playing with my dog, Willow. She is a 7 month old golden retriever. I just graduated from Marquette University this fall, and I cannot wait to do my favorite thing of all, teaching!

A Note from Ms. Meister

Happy New Year 2025. Welcome back to school!

At this time of year, when many of us make resolutions and set new goals, it is the perfect time to think about setting academic learning goals.

The Literacy Lights the Night event provides an extra opportunity for students interested in reading, writing, listening and speaking. It is a great chance to celebrate the skills and creativity of our North Lake School student authors. Join us on Thursday, February 6th at 5:00pm in the school library.

The Science Fair Club provided an extra opportunity for students to explore fascinating topics, design cool experiments, and solve mysteries. Students will showcase their findings during the Science Fair Club presentations on Saturday the 8th at 9:00am in the MPR. Come to see and listen to all the interesting things they have discovered and learned.
