Educational services will be suspended, however we will be providing meals for pickup (Breakfast and Lunch) from 9:30-10:30am both days at North Elementary. We anticipate reopening on Monday, March 10th and will provide further updates as needed.

Dear North Elementary Families,

Due to an unforeseen water issue, North Elementary is closed effective immediately for today, March 5, 2025.

Students are currently being transported to Larson Heights Elementary (700 Lindberg Lane) via district transportation. Parents/guardians must pick up their children from Larson Heights as soon as possible. If you are unable to pick your child up, they will remain at Larson Heights for the remainder of the day and bus riders will be transported via district transportation to their regular bus stop. Students that walk home from North will be bussed back to North to walk home on their normal route at the end of the day.
​
We understand this may be an inconvenience and appreciate your prompt attention to this matter.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact Larson Heights Elementary at (509) 766-2655.
