Dear North Wildcat Families,
Hello, Warsaw Wildcats! This is Raini Ward, principal at North Elementary. I have loved the students of this school district for my entire career in education, and I’m so thankful for the opportunity to know them all again. I taught special education and third grade before becoming an administrator. I was a special education director and principal at another school district before coming “home” this year. I love every single minute of every single day that I get to spend with the students and staff.
I look forward to getting this school year started! Our staff at North strives to make our school a safe, comfortable, and exciting place to be. We’re excited to meet you, or to see you again, in our halls and classrooms.
At North elementary, we have three basic rules. We expect all students to be safe, respectful, and responsible. We also have three goals for life. “I can make good choices even if I’m mad, sad, frustrated, or upset,” “I can make good choices even when others are not,” “I can make good choices even if I don’t want to or it’s hard.” At North, we want to ensure students are ready for lives as successful adults one day and do our best to instill life values and academic knowledge every day.
We are in the process of moving to a new student information system. Please be patient with us as we learn this new program. Here are some things you need to know before our first day of school:
Open House: Open House is scheduled for Thursday, August 17 from 5:00-7:00pm. At that time you can come in to see our school, find your classrooms, and meet your teachers. You can also drop school supplies off at that time. Our teachers will be unable to meet students early but look forward to Open House!
Arrival & Dismissal: Our school car rider line will begin in the mornings at 7:35am and in the afternoon at 3:20pm. The car rider line begins from Oak Street to Stage Coach to Kosciusko. Please follow the line and do not exit your car, this allows for the line to keep moving. For student safety, parents are not permitted to come into classrooms in the mornings or during the afternoon dismissal.
School begins at 7:50 and ends at 3:27. Students are considered tardy after 8:05. Any late check-in or early check-out affects students' attendance. If you have a transportation change- those need to be clearly communicated to the office prior to 2:00pm each day. Transportation changes will not be accepted after 2:00pm for student safety. We have to get all of them where they need to go.
Breakfast & Lunch: All students in our district receive both free breakfast and lunch. We’re grateful for the grant which provides these meals at no cost to our students. There is no need for sending lunch money with your child.
If you have changes to address or phone number or have further questions, please contact the office beginning August 9 between the hours of 8:00-4:00. It’s going to be a great year!
