Principal's Message

Dear Northcott Prairie School Community,

On behalf of our school community, we want to welcome you to the 2023-2024 school year. We are excited to start this year. Our mission and founding principles, based upon our shared vision, will still be focused on student learning.

We are excited about the learning opportunities we have planned for this year. Our focus remains on literacy, numeracy as well as understanding and appreciating the world around us. Our staff will be learning and working together to collaboratively implement research informed practices around strong pedagogy.  We have a fabulous team of teachers and support staff who are committed to learning and growing each day!

All members of our herd: students, staff, families, and community, will work together to be a school where passion, energy and commitment collide because together we face the storm!

Run with the herd!
