It is Northside Elementary's School Community Organization.  Here at Northside, your children are part of a school community made up of students, parents, guardians, a principal, teachers, counselors and other key staff members.  Each member is important to the success and health of the entire community.  The SCO was established to help support this community. 

This means that the SCO is a support network made up of volunteers interested in helping the Northside School Community.  These volunteers help out in many ways 1) as an information resource for parents and families, 2) by volunteering their time and ideas both in school and for special events, and 3) as a fund raising group.
 

What does SCO do?

School Support: Organizing volunteers, promote the health and safety of all children, work with teachers and staff to improve the school-wide environment.

Family Support: Social events for students and their families, Northside Beautification, and encouraging school connectedness.

Public Relations: Inform all members of the community about achievements and needs within the school, publish the yearbook, and organize the student directory.

Finance: Fund raise in ways that are respectful of families resources and benefit all our students, fulfill Teacher Grant requests, and assist with selecting and purchasing equipment and supplies that enhance the school environment.
