We are excited to continue to offer all students free, healthy meals during the upcoming school year.

2024-2025 school year is right around the corner and supply lists have been on everyone's minds so here they are!!! Check them out! We can’t wait to see you all soon!
We ended summer school this year with an engaging field trip to the MSU Planetarium!
North Elementary would like to send a huge thank you to the Ithaca PTO for helping our summer school kids enjoy the MSU Planetarium!!
Summer school is in full swing! Our theme this summer is Outer Space. Students have been learning a lot and having a little bit of fun!🤩
School’s out for summer, but that doesn’t mean learning has to stop. Summer break is the perfect time for families to incorporate lessons into daily activities—even vacations—to keep kids engaged and their minds active. These fun, brain-friendly activities are a great place to start.
Last Thursday was our last day; we had a beautiful day for our 6th grade graduation. Mr. Impemba and the sixth grade band did an outstanding job . We would like to thank all of the many parents, family members, and our school secretary that helped organize sixth grade graduation as well. It's tradition for all staff to wave good-bye to the students and wish them a happy summer break--see you in August!
Congratulations to our 6th graders as they move onto the Junior/Senior High School next year! We will miss you and best of luck as you begin a new journey in a new school!
