Weekly Wildcat Newsletter - June 26
Northwestern Middle School News and Notes
Howdy Wildcat Country!
I hope everyone is enjoying their summer break! We have been busy at Northwestern preparing for the upcoming school year. We want to update you on our summer schedule and share some other important information.
While we have staff in the building everyday, we are limiting visitors to the school right now. We will be open from 9:00 am - 2:00 pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday during the summer. Please call before you come to the school. We can most likely assist you over the phone or provide helpful information before your visit.
The Board of Education is meeting on Monday, June 29 for a Called Board Meeting. We are anticipating a recommendation to the Board during this meeting for the school reopening plan. If a decision about school reopening is made, we will communicate that information to our Northwestern staff and families. Please stay tuned.
