Dear North Pines Families,

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! We are excited to welcome both new and returning families to North Pines Middle School. Every new school year brings fresh opportunities to learn, grow, and build meaningful relationships, and we can't wait to see all that our Cubs accomplish this year.

At North Pines, our mission is simple and powerful: To ensure all students learn at grade-level or higher. Everything we do—from high-quality instruction and intervention to extracurricular activities and student supports—is centered on helping every student reach their full potential. We believe all students can achieve at high levels when they are challenged, supported, and surrounded by adults who believe in them.

Our school community is guided by three expectations: Take Care of Yourself, Take Care of Each Other, and Take Care of This Place. These expectations shape how we learn, solve problems, and build a positive culture where every student feels safe, respected, and valued.

Our motto, Growing Greatness, reminds us that greatness isn't about being perfect—it's about making progress every day. Whether students are strengthening their academic skills, discovering a new passion, showing kindness to a classmate, or overcoming a challenge, we celebrate the growth that happens along the way.

Thank you for partnering with us in your student's education. Your support and involvement make a tremendous difference, and we look forward to working together to make this a successful and memorable school year.

Here's to another year of Growing Greatness!
