From early reading skills to analyzing complex texts and applying information across subjects, literacy grows alongside our students.
Every grade level helps build the skills students need for school, future careers, and life!
One of the most powerful things we can do is look out for one another. A kind word can help someone feel seen and supported.
During National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month, let’s continue building schools where respect leads the way!
Simple habits like preparing backpacks the night before, choosing clothes ahead of time, setting a consistent bedtime, and allowing enough time for breakfast can help mornings feel more organized and less rushed.
Let’s make every day count! ✅

Northampton County Public Schools Update: At this time, tomorrow, September 24, will operate on a normal school schedule. We are actively monitoring the forecasted weather for our area, and your safety remains our top priority.
We are committed to keeping you informed and reassured. Please continue to check your email, phone, and local media for official announcements and updates, pending worsening weather conditions.
If someone seems quiet, overwhelmed, or not like themselves, take a moment to ask how they’re doing. Listen without judgment and let them know they aren't alone.
Caring for mental health starts with reaching out.
Northampton County Public Schools will dismiss students at our regularly scheduled dismissal time today, and staff, including afternoon employees, will also be released at their regularly scheduled time.
However, due to the potential for increased wind gusts and out of an abundance of caution for the safety of our students and staff, we are canceling all after-school activities and events scheduled for this afternoon and evening.
This includes athletic practices, club meetings, and other after-school activities, including the 21st Century Afterschool program.
We encourage families to make appropriate arrangements for students to be picked up at their regularly scheduled dismissal time and to exercise caution as weather conditions develop.
