Students noisily filing into school buildings, locker doors slamming, bells ringing; the sounds of a typical school day have gone silent across our nation. While school buildings may be closed, the business of learning has continued for teachers and students in a new format. Since the COVID-19 pandemic has shut down our schools, teachers have had to adapt quickly to the world of online instruction. For many, this is the first experience with online teaching and learning.

What looked like an impossible challenge just weeks ago has become a success story at the Northgate School District.

We are proud to announce that our very own Mrs. Karen Klicker will receive the Carnegie Science Center Elementary Educator Award. “I cannot think of anyone more deserving of this recognition than Karen Klicker. She means so much more to our community than being a great teacher,” said Avalon Elementary School Principal Dr. Joseph J. Peacock Jr.

We are pleased to announce that our Welcome to our 2020 Kindergarten Registration has been rescheduled for Monday, June 8 from 5-8 pm. We are excited to spend Monday evening with you and your child.

The health and well-being of our Northgate family is our highest priority. The district will maintain frequent communication in the coming weeks as this ongoing situation evolves.

We recognize that this closure is a disruption to our students, staff and families. This is a challenging time, and we thank you for your patience, understanding, and flexibility as we make responsible decisions to keep our community safe and limit the spread of COVID-19.

Based on their performance at last week’s WPIAL Championship, several Northgate/Avonworth swimmers will be competing at the PIAA Championship on March 13-14 at Bucknell University.

Swimmers qualifying for the Girls PIAA Championship in individual events include Sophomore Anna Neiss who will be seeded 11th in the 50 Freestyle and 26th in the 100 Freestyle. Neiss will also be participating in 2 relay events, the 16th seeded 200 Medley

Northgate has added new programming for next year! We are adding several electives to both our middle school and high school schedules. These new course include Economics , Anthropology, Entrepreneurship, Intro to Piano, Personal Finance, Special Science Topics, and a new Innovation and Design program.

The Innovation and Design courses will start with a middle school engineering elective.
