Rich in Diversity, Committed to Excellence!
The NBMS Marquee Sign is down for repairs.
Parents,
We apologize for the inconvenience. The marquee sign's door is being repaired. The marquee will be empty until further notice. We will continue to send Monday Morning Messages as well as Thrill Share communications.
All students must strive for at least 90% attendance!
Parents,
Please keep in mind that absences include excused absences, vacations, medical appointments, etc. Our goal is to have all students in front of their teachers at least 90% of the time. If a student's absences are all excused, but this student is present less than 90% of the time, the loss of instructional time becomes detrimental.
Regarding SNOW DAYS, all students are expected to log into virtual learning. Failure to log-in results in an absence.
Dear Parents: We need your feedback!
We are in the process of creating strategic actions for the 2026-2027 school year. Your input is important. These plans act as a guide to how we identify priority areas that we will focus on during the next school year. This survey is one step in a process of continuing improvement to ensure we are creating goals, planning professional learning, and have resources that are aligned with our vision and mission and meeting the needs for all our students.

All students must be accompanied by an adult when attending sporting events.
This policy is in place to ensure student safety.
Immediately following the conclusion of each event, all spectators—including students—are required to exit the building promptly. Given the possibility of below-freezing temperatures, it is not safe for students to wait outside for transportation. We strongly encourage families to plan for students to depart from North Campus with a parent, guardian, or supervising adult immediately after games.
A message from our PBIS Team: Building a Positive, Supportive School Community
We’ve seen great participation in our weekly and monthly incentives, where students are recognized for meeting behavior expectations, showing kindness, and demonstrating responsibility. Staff have been using PBIS tickets, Holly, Jolly and Bob the elves make their daily appearance with positive riddles, door decorating contest, bus incentive, candy box, Fun Fridays and the PBIS cart to reinforce the great behavior in classrooms and hallways. Our restorative circles on Mondays continue to help students build relationships, strengthen communication, and develop problem-solving skills.
Overall, PBIS is creating a more positive atmosphere in our building—one where students feel valued, expectations are clear, and good choices are celebrated. We are excited to continue building on this momentum throughout the school year.
Friday Snack Window!!
Snack window open on Fridays during lunches! All snacks are $1 or $2.

North's new electronic hall pass system!
NBMS has transitioned from paper hall passes to SmartPass! SmartPass is an electronic hall pass system that allows for staff to document students' hall pass frequency, patterns, common times, or preferred destinations. Parents may inquire about their child's pass usage during conferences or simply via email. Administration may reduce interactions of conflicting students by setting certain alerts. Our counselors & nurse may send ePasses to students when needed for appointments.
SmartPass has been a huge success at North! We will continue to adapt SmartPass to our students' specific needs.
Rally Bus Status App!
Parents can stay up to date on all CASD Transportation alerts! This includes any changes or delays. Bus Status App Information is available in the link below.
