Thank You For Your Involvement!

Because of you, we experienced an outstanding Open House this semester. We enjoyed meeting moms, dads, grandparents, and other relatives. It was great sharing with our families about the Montessori program. Please help us spread the word about our new magnet focus. To show our enthusiasm for learning and working together as a community at Northglade, students and staff sing our Montessori jingle at the beginning of each day. Please take a moment to sing this great jingle with your child (to the tune of “A Tisket, A Tasket”):

Amazing, amazing

Our school is so amazing
