For continuous improvement and as a response to family requests, the Northwood School District has created two new general email accounts. We are asking that all families please use these new email contacts for reporting absences and any changes to bus plans. For attendance please include the reason for your child's absence. As you know, the weather in northern Wisconsin causes challenges for travel so letting us know early when your child will not be riding the bus can help our district tremendously. We also have a lot of respect for our drivers so having them travel extra distances or wait at stops when children are not riding is very frustrating. There is also a county-wide shortage of bus drivers so if you have any interest in becoming a driver, please contact the school district, so we can help you with this process. If you student is going to be absent, you only need to email the attendance email account and we will notify the drivers. Thanks for your help and cooperation.
