North Ward Elementary School

Good Morning. There has been some confusion about a teacher institute in February. On the approved calendar, February 13 is an approved teacher's institute day. This date was missed when the summarized calendar was typed. February 13, 2026, is a teacher institute day, and there is NO student attendance on that day.

What a great start to the school year!

Unfortunately, at 10:07 a.m. today, I received a DocuSign email from an address that was impersonating Mindy Fowler's email address. THIS DID NOT come from Mindy. Please do not open the DocuSign and delete the email. Since this email did not originate from the school's account, we do not have a list of all contacts that may have received the fraudulent email. We are currently investigating with our security company.

Reminder for transportation at North Ward:

Starting this year, the large front circle will be used for car drop off and pick up. This will result in the buses utilizing the small circle lot (south door). Please do not enter the bus lot moving forward.
