About us
Address
With a focus on transforming teaching and learning in order to make the academic standards accessible for all students, North Star has become known for its dedication to teacher collaboration and professional development. Teachers share student work and assessments and engage in conversations and classroom observations to ensure that students are truly moving forward in their knowledge and skills, K-5.
We strive to keep our expectations high for all students, while still recognizing it’s important to meet each learner where they are and provide the support they need to reach their potential. After just one year, we saw an increase in our students’ academic growth and are motivated to continue the pursuit of increased achievement.

Practice responsibility
Always safe
Willing to learn
Stay kind
Our mascot is the North Star Bear. As part of our school culture we are always practicing to be better citizens. To help our Bears with this work, we use PAWS. The purpose of school-wide behavioral expectations is to create a positive and welcoming learning environment that promotes student success both socially and academically. In order to prevent misbehavior, we teach positive behaviors on a daily basis until students are independently successful.
Scholar Program
We support character development through our Scholar Program. Each month, students are nominated for either their academic growth or by how they are demonstrating PAWS at school. These students are recognized at a special breakfast ceremony at 7:10 am. The Scholar Celebrations are scheduled on the calendar.
Nutritious Opportunities for Students
Through our partnership with Nutrition Services we are able to provide nutritious meals for all students attending North Star. In addition to our lunch program, served daily, students also have another opportunity for free and nutritious food. Students are welcomed each morning with free breakfast.
