Hello Northwood Family and Friends.
The district implemented a temporary mask mandate that began today.
Part of this mandate requires spectators to be masked during sporting events. There is not a limit on the number of spectators per athlete at this time. We are requiring that each spectator wear a mask and physical distance a minimum of 3 feet between spectators unless they are direct family. Please bring your own mask.
The Scholastic Book Fair is OPEN today through Friday, Nov. 12. Again, the book fair will only be open to students to shop with their classes. Please contact your child's teacher about their shopping day.
