Ithaca Schools is working to implement an online payment method for one-stop payments. This includes adding money to your child's lunch account.
At this time, the old system is no longer available and the new system is in the process of implementation. We apologize for the delay and are working to expedite the process with the company. At this time, please send lunch money with your child or bring it in to the school. Thank you!

The kids are already hard at work at "Camp Summer School"! They have been working on counting money in math, reading a story in Language Arts, and building their own tent in STEM class. There is room for more "campers". If you are interested in having your 3rd/4th (this year) child attend "Camp Summer School", please call the office at 989-875-3047 or you may bring them in the morning. The Library doors will be open at 8:45 a.m. We are looking forward to a great summer school "camping" experience!
North Elementary will conduct (2) two week summer school programs. 3rd & 4th grades will be the week of June 27th and July 5th through July 11th. 5th & 6th grade will be the week of July 18th and the week of July 29th. The school day will run from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
The focus of the two week program will be on the core fundamental skills that our students need to be successful. Classes will be taught by North Elementary Certified teachers and paraprofessionals at North Elementary. Classes will include, but will not be limited to Reading, Writing and Math. Other activities will be planned as well.
The number of participants will be limited due to the number of available staff and the need to concentrate on core fundamental skills. The invitation is for students who were in 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grades this school year.
Since there are a limited number of students that we can accommodate, we will need to have information back quickly to guarantee your student’s spot. We will build a waiting list in the event that an enrolled student is not able to attend.
Please contact the North Office to register or if you have any further questions concerning summer school at (989) 875-3047 or email Mr. Palmer at bpalmer@ithacaschools.net.
The North Elementary Student council sold mostly pre packaged baked goods/snacks during the lunch hour at school to raise money for new PE equipment. Mr. Rayburn is looking forward to purchasing new equipment for the North Elementary PE classes. The student council raised a little over $400. Way to go Student Council!!
