Thank you for visiting our web page. Northwest Elementary is a Fourth Grade Attendance Center for the district. It also is the site of two neighborhood Kindergarten classes. Northwest Elementary houses 9 sections of regular education. We support the needs of our individual students through our special education classes, Title One Program, ESL, Speech, and OT/PT. Our elite staff includes Mrs. Nancy Kleinschmidt, counselor. She offers individual, small and whole class guidance and counseling. She is a wonderful resource for students and a talented individual. Our caring Kindergarten teachers are Jeanne Parkhurst and Suzann Hayes. These are two wonderful ladies who nurture students successfully through their first year of school. Our Kindergarten experience for students is an all day program. Fourth grade teachers at Northwest Elementary are trained in the eMINTS model. Leading experts have collaborated to produce a program that · inspires educators to use instructional strategies powered by technology · engages students in the excitement of learning · enriches teaching to dramatically improve student performance In addition, Northwest teachers implement a program called "Earthworks", which is geared to emphasize the importance of taking care of the planet in which we all live. Our treasured and committed staff members are dedicated to providing a quality education for our youth. Our successful school discipline is based on the Ozanam B.I.S.T. model. “We accept all children where they are and want them to have a safe learning environment. It is O.K. for a child to have a problem, but it is not O.K. for the child to stay stuck there. We will help the child to own responsibility for the problem, and to develop a plan to take responsibility for his/her actions and solve the problem.” Northwest Elementary Principal   Please visit the Elementary Calendar to view all our scheduled building activities.
