Northwood Hills Elementary School

Parents of 2nd – 6th graders: Join us tonight, Tuesday, January 15 at 6:30 p.m. for Family Fun Facts! This fun evening is for parents only and will give you lots of ideas to help your children memorize their math facts. You will take home several tools to help (8 sided dice, cards, etc.) your children have fun learning their math facts.

Congratulations to 4th grader, Grace R. for winning the NHE Spelling Bee! Grace will be representing our school at the RISD Spelling Bee soon. Quinn C. was first runner-up! We are so proud of both of these students!
Beginning last week, 1st grade and 5th grade have switched lunch times. This was done to improve the time allotted to instruction. The only changes are as follows:
11:15-11:45 p.m. 5 Ms. Young
11:20-11:50 p.m 5 Ms. Pailes
     
11:25-11:55 a.m. 1 Ms. Thomson
11:30-12:00 p.m. 1 Ms. White
11:35-12:05 a.m. 1 Ms. Lewis
  

Hopefully, students have begun working on their Science Fair Projects.
