Reflections Reception Mark your calendars for Saturday, January 24th from 3:30–6:00! We’ll be gathering at the North Creek High School Commons for our Reflections Reception—a colorful showcase of student creativity. All submitted artwork will be on display, and we’ll feature the videos, music, and dance pieces our talented students have created. It’s a wonderful chance to celebrate their imagination and hard work. Everyone is invited, so please spread the word to your Reflections students and school community
​
If students didn't turn in their physical artwork but would like their artwork included in the Reflections Reception, there’s still time!

They can:

• Bring the artwork directly to the reception, and we’ll be happy to display it.
• Drop the artwork off at my porch—have the families email reflections@northshorecouncilptsa.org to arrange a drop-off.

The following Parent Education Night and Resources for NSD's Special Education PTSA are listed on our website under NEWS... https://northcreekptsa.com/Home

Hello parents/guardians of NCHS students,

The NCHS counseling center is expanding our Career Month, and we’d like your help! Our students are interested in learning about different careers and pathways post high school and we’d love to partner with community members.

We are planning for Spring quarter 2026. This could be a one-on-one conversation, multiple students, or you could be partnering with other similar professionals in a panel.

If you are interested in participating, please fill out this google form. Once you have completed the google form, we will follow up with you.
