It’s hard to believe we’ve already reached Quarter 2! I continue to feel so grateful for our students, staff, and families who make North Pines such a special place to learn and grow. The start of this school year has been full of energy, learning, and connection—and our Cubs are truly Growing Greatness every day.

As we move into the second quarter, our focus remains on academic growth, strong attendance, and belonging. Teachers are working in their PLC teams to analyze data, plan next steps for instruction, and ensure every student has the support they need to succeed. Families play a huge role in this partnership—thank you for encouraging your student to be at school every day, ready to learn.

At North Pines, we continue to live out our school expectations: Take Care of Yourself, Take Care of Each Other, and Take Care of This Place. These simple but powerful commitments guide how we learn, lead, and treat one another—whether in the classroom, the hallway, or out in our community.

We’re also continuing to celebrate our Strong, Kind, Committed culture across the building. From classroom celebrations to Cub recognition events, our students are leading with kindness and pride in what it means to be a North Pines Cub.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we’re Growing Greatness!
