North News

Dear North Families,

Last week was another successful week of distance learning for our students and staff. Many of the technological bugs we experienced in week one have been fixed. The digital learning platform, Schoology, performed much more reliably during week two and we observed higher rates of participation by our students. By the end of the second week of distance learning, all but six North students were logged-in and using Schoology! This is a huge feat in and of itself. Our students have been great at taking every new change in-stride as we experience new ways of learning each day. In many respects, our students have been more adaptable to distance learning than many staff members and family members have. This is a testament to our students’ resiliency and resourcefulness. I am so proud to be their principal!

I also want to take time to thank all North Families for your efforts to assist your children during distance learning. I have four school-aged children at home doing their own distance learning each day and IT IS DIFFICULT. I can’t thank you all enough for the time you are able to spend each day reinforcing the importance of your child staying connected to school and continuing to learn each day. Through our collective efforts as families, staff, and the greater North Community, our students will continue to learn and thrive. THANK YOU!
 

Soar Eagles!

 

Respectfully,

 

Principal Brian Nutter                          Assistant Principal Heather Ebnet

St. Cloud Area School District has expanded locations and delivery for meal distribution during this period of school closure. Grab and Go sites are located at Discovery, Madison and Talahi Elementary Schools, meals are also being delivered by school bus to neighborhood stops surrounding all our area schools, including Clearview and Kennedy. Meals are free to all District 742 students and distributed Monday – Friday. Grab and Go pick up is 11 AM – 1 PM. The bus delivery schedule follows. We encourage families to continue to be proactive in reducing the risk of COVID-19 by practicing social distancing and not congregating at the school site once meals have been distributed.
