Supporting North Elementary, it’s students & community—together
Welcome Back, Huskies!
We’re excited to kick off a new school year with fresh energy and a calendar full of fun. From family nights and student activities to staff support and school events, there’s something for everyone.
This year brings some exciting updates: new murals, new sensory pathways, continued progress on the outdoor classroom, and a big announcement — Husky Quest is officially moving to the fall! Get ready to fundraise and celebrate this October.
We’re looking forward to another great year together.
Join the Pack. Make it Yours. 🐾

Connect with other North families! Our optional Student Directory makes it easy to arrange playdates, send invitations, and stay in touch throughout the school year. Add your information online and be part of this year’s directory.
The student directory is out now! Check your email to find your link! Only families who signed up to be included will receive a link to access the directory.
Staff Wish Lists!
At North Elementary, we’re lucky to have such dedicated and inspiring staff! Many have created Amazon Wish Lists to help stock their classrooms with supplies that make learning even better. Click here to see our Staff Wish Lists page!
Fundraising runs October 2–23 with the big Celebration Day on October 23.
This is North’s biggest fundraiser, powering field trips, teacher grants, family nights, and more. Business sponsors cover celebration costs so student donations go directly to programs. We also need VOLUNTEERS for behind-the-scenes roles like prize ordering, volunteer coordination, and publicity.

Husky Quest moved to the Fall!
Lend a Generator for Husky Quest
We’re hoping to borrow generators to power our inflatables and keep costs low so more dollars support our students. Needs: two 6000-watt generators; a third as backup would be helpful. Smaller units may also work. To lend a generator, email d47npto@gmail.com and we’ll arrange pickup and return. Thank you for supporting North Elementary.
One School. One Pack. One Quest.
STAR Reading program is back for the 2025–2026 school year, and we’d love for you to join us.
STAR Reading gives parents and volunteers the chance to spend one-on-one time reading with students — including your own child! It’s a meaningful way to foster a love of reading, support literacy, and connect with our classrooms.
Volunteers can choose a schedule that works best for them — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly — and our team coordinates with teachers to make sure the experience is smooth and rewarding.
STAR Reading is back!
