Welcome Back, Huskies!
A new school year is here, and we couldn't be more excited to welcome both new and returning families to North!
Whether this is your very first year or you've been part of our school community for years, we hope you'll make NPTO part of your North experience. Check out our Meetings page for this year's meeting schedule and come join us. We'd love to see some new faces!
We're already counting down to Husky Quest, our biggest fundraiser of the year, along with so many other events that make North such a special place to be.
There are countless ways to get involved. Join a committee, volunteer in your child's classroom, help at one event, lend a hand behind the scenes, or stay involved all year long. Whether you have one hour or one hundred, there's a place for you here.
However you choose to get involved this year, we're happy you're here, and we can't wait to make this another amazing year at North.
Join the Pack. Make It Yours.
