Congratulations to Mrs. Melow on her retirement! We were so lucky to have her! She will be missed!
Meet up and Eat up
We’re so proud of our amazing 6th graders as they take their next big step towards Ithaca Junior High!
Your time at North Elementary has been filled with growth, laughter, friendships, and unforgettable memories. You’ve shown leadership, kindness, and Yellowjacket Pride every step of the way.
Though we’ll miss you, we know you’re ready to soar to new heights! #SwarmTogether
Two of North’s finest are retiring!
Join us in celebrating Mr. Showers, our RTC Coordinator, and Mrs. Della Allen, one of our beloved Paraprofessionals.
They’ve supported, guided, and cared for countless students over the years—and now it’s time for them to enjoy some well-earned rest and relaxation!
We’ll miss seeing their smiling faces every day, but we’re so excited for what’s ahead in their next adventure.
Congratulations and thank you for everything!
Market Day was a success for 4th graders! Most "businesses" sold out of products and all made a profit! Thank you to all of the parents who donated supplies and the shoppers who helped make this such a positive experience for our kids!
Despite the rainy weather, our Field Day was full of smiles, laughter, and nonstop fun! Students enjoyed a variety of exciting games and activities. Thanks to all of the high school students who helped run the activities. A big thank you to Mr. Rayburn for organizing such a memorable day for our students!
Ithaca Public Schools will be participating in Meet Up and Eat Up again this year. 7 Day packs can be picked up by parents or guardians starting June 10th between 7:30 am and 9:30 am.

In an attempt to make sure we have enough packs available for the entire community we are asking that you email ahanna@ithacaschools.net to get on the list for pick-ups. This is a first come first serve distribution and being on the list does not guarantee that we will not run out of food before you get here. Thank you for helping us try to serve the entire community. We plan on having 225 packs available on June 10th. See you there.
The 4th graders had an amazing time visiting the Silver Lake Sand Dunes! They even got to experience a Mac Wood's Dune Ride! What a day!
Our 5th and 6th grades will be going to Leisure Lake Family Campground tomorrow, June 3rd. If your child plans on swimming, please make sure to bring a swimsuit and towel. Sunscreen and water is highly recommended! Please make sure your child has a bag to carry their stuff in.
We had a beautiful day at Reed Park for our 3rd/4th grade end of the year celebration!
As we wrap up an incredible school year, we’re thrilled to recognize our May Students of the Month who have truly shined by demonstrating:
Enthusiasm – Bringing energy and excitement to everything they do!
Leadership – Guiding others with confidence, kindness, and integrity.
Other People Mindset – Always thinking beyond themselves and lifting others up.
Spiral Review – Living out all 24 Positivity Project character strengths we've focused on this year!
These students are amazing examples of what it means to be positive, kind, and full of Yellowjacket Pride! #SwarmTogether
We are thrilled to invite parents and family members to our 6th grade graduation on June 6th at 10 AM. This milestone event will take place outdoors, so please bring lawn chairs for seating. In case of rain, we will relocate to the gym. Join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our students!
Our 3rd and 4th grades will be going to Reed Park tomorrow, June 2nd. You must have a life jacket in order to swim. Please remember to bring a towel and swimsuit to change into!
Thank you to our amazing PTO for helping fund our 5th grade Greenfield Village field trip and T-shirts for the entire grade!! We had a great time!
Last week, 4th graders were able to go to Bay City State Park. Nature Awaits completely funds field trips to state parks for 4th graders around the state! Even though it was cold and rainy, our students and chaperones had a great time along the shores of Lake Huron learning about native species as well as invasive species, and finding cool critters in the marsh!
The Greenfield Village field trip is tomorrow! The Fifth Grade Teachers look forward to seeing students and their adult chaperones tomorrow, May 29, no later than 6:30 AM in their classrooms.
After checking in with teachers, chaperones will be free to return to their vehicle and start the trip! Students will ride the bus to the Village.
Tickets will be given to chaperones when the bus arrives at the Village.
Students riding the bus to Ithaca from the Village will be BACK at North School's gym lot around 6 PM. Parents need to pick up those children at North school at 6 PM.
Please help students remember to bring food, sweatshirt, umbrella, cell phone, or other supplies you think may be needed for a day spent mostly outdoors, walking!
Thank you!
Our 6th graders are participating in the "Too Good for Drugs" program, gaining valuable insights into the effects of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. This program is offered by Child Advocacy. We’re empowering our students to make smart choices for a brighter future!
5th graders had an excellent field trip to the community fire house to learn more about the community!
We LOVE our Heroes in the Hive! 🐝. Thank you for another amazing year?
ACES Day! 🏃♂️🏃♀️
Today our 6th graders participated in ACES Day (All Children Exercising Simultaneously) and had an awesome time!
We walked for 30 minutes around the high school track, enjoying the fresh air, some movement, and best of all—time with our friends from North Elementary! 💙💛
It was so great to see our students laughing, talking, and staying active together. What a fun way to celebrate health and community!
