North Parents & Guardians,
This is just a reminder that toys from home are not to be brought to school unless a teacher reaches out to you to give permission for an activity. This is stated in our handbook that items should not be brought from home. We have had an increase in items such as: trading cards, fake money, toy cars, dolls, etc. These create distractions, issues if lost or stolen and occasionally discipline issues.
If you are wanting to look at our student handbook please follow these steps:
1. Go to www.warsawk12.org
2. Click "Schools" then click "North Elementary"
3. Click "Menu" then under the tab titled "For Parents" click "Handbook"
Respectfully,
Raini Ward, Principal

Today, Superintendent Mr. Gemes and Assistant Superintendent Mrs. Deckard spent the day proudly representing our district alongside the Missouri Association of School Administrators (MASA) to advocate for the needs of rural schools.
They met with both of our state representatives and our state senator, ensuring that our voices are heard on critical education issues. They also sat through the House vote on open enrollment and listened to the Senate discussion on school protection officersāboth key topics that impact our students, teachers, and communities.
We appreciate their dedication to making sure rural schools like ours have the support we need to thrive! šš #WildcatExcellence #AdvocatingForEducation #RuralSchoolsMatter #MASA #MissouriEducation
