🧠✨ NEW THIS YEAR at Northview! ✨🧠

We are honored to have a Brain Health Retreat Room available for our students this school year!

This safe, quiet, judgment-free space provides students and staff with an opportunity to decompress, manage stress, and practice emotional regulation skills when they need a moment to reset.

Sometimes, a little time to breathe, regroup, and recharge is exactly what we need to be ready to return to class and continue learning. 🌿💭

We’re excited to support the whole student—mind, body, and brain! 🧠

🐾 Help Us Stock the JAG Store! 🎉

Northview Middle School is excited to launch our JAG Store as part of our PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) system!

Throughout the school year, students will earn tickets from teachers and staff for showing positive behavior, making good choices, being responsible, and being a great JAG! Students will then be able to use their tickets to shop at the JAG Store.

We are looking for donations to help fill our store with fun rewards for our students!

If you would like to donate, please check out our Sign-Up Genius below. This is the same link we will use all year, so feel free to check back throughout the school year and help us keep the JAG Store stocked!
