WORD OF THE MONTH

• MAY• HONESTY

BEING TRUTHFUL AND SINCERE

Northridge Middle School has been in the planning process necessary to begin a Title I school wide program. A school wide program is a

comprehensive reform strategy designed to upgrade the entire educational program in a Title I school. Northridge’s mission

statement has been revised based on feedback about the purpose and goals of our school. The information collected from parent and teacher surveys as well as Parent Involvement Committee meetings

was synthesized into our new mission statement.
