Dear North Families,
October is here, and we have a busy and exciting month ahead at North! Our Bobcats continue to work hard, grow as leaders, and make us proud each day. We have so many opportunities this month to learn, celebrate, and make memories together!

There is a LOT going on this month! We’ll kick things off with Western Days, followed by our Leadership Night & Fall Fest on October 8. We’ll enjoy a well-deserved Fall Break October 12–16, and then wrap up the month with Red Ribbon Week October 26–30—plus plenty more in between! Be sure to check the newsletter for all the details. 

Attendance Matters! Our campus goal continues to be 96% attendance each day. Every day at school is an opportunity for our Bobcats to learn, grow, and connect with their teachers and classmates. Last month, 4th grade came out on top in our attendance challenge! Way to go, 4th grade! Now the challenge is on—which grade level will take the lead in October? Let’s see how much higher we can climb!

Thank you for continuing to partner with us and for making North such a special place for our students. October is going to be packed with learning, leadership, and lots of Bobcat fun. Let’s make it a great month!
