Communication

  • Keeping our families informed is a top priority at North School and we communicate using the following methods:

    PRINCIPAL MESSAGES

    Blackboard Connect is a web-based program that the principal uses to send out messages containing school messages in between newsletters, emergency information, and time-sensitive information. These are not very frequent and it usually contains important information

    NORTH NEWS and E-BLASTS

    The North News is sent to families twice a month and it contains a principal newsletter, a letter from the Parent Group president, upcoming calendar dates or changes, and updates from various school partners. Please read these very carefully.  E-Blasts are sent out from the same system as the North News and these contain reminders mostly from school partners such as North Parent Group (NPG), Hillsborough Schools Foundation (HSF), and Recreation about school, district, and HSF events. Please read these to stay abreast of date changes and reminders.

    CLASSROOM TEACHER EMAILS

    Teachers will email parents from time to time to inform parents about things that are relevant to the classroom. Please pay close attention to these as they often include information about homework, important dates, and classroom projects.

    READER BOARD

    North School has a reader board that has the school’s weekly events listed and this list is updated every Friday. The reader board is located in the front of the school so please read it upon entering the North traffic circle.

    KONSTELLA

    Room parents use this app for reminders about classroom and school events.
