Dear Students and Parents,

Welcome to North Vista Elementary School, home of the Tiger Cubs!  I am excited to be back at North Vista as principal. It is with pleasure that I continue to serve the community in this role. The door at North Vista is always open. I will value your input, thoughts and feedback throughout the year. I look forward to partnering together with the parents, staff, students and the community to best support our children.

North Vista Elementary is a fantastic learning environment for all of our students. We provide a strong academic program designed to meet the needs of all our learners. It is our mission to…”Increase the achievement of all students—Academically, Socially and Emotionally”.

The staff of North Vista has very high levels of expertise. They operate in strong grade level and building teams; working cooperatively to provide students with exceptional instructional experiences. The talents and skills of each student and staff member alike are fostered so that learning is maximized. In addition to the regular classroom instruction, students attend classes in art, music, physical education, and technology. Our special needs program is available for qualifying students as well.

Over the course of the school year there are many opportunities for students to become involved. We have a Beta Club, Drum line, Step Team, Art Club, K-Kids Club, and intramural activities. We also participate in supporting local and world needs such as raising money for the United Way and American Cancer Society, collecting food to be donated to the local food banks and collecting special items for children in Nicaragua (Operation Christmas Child). We are proud of our very active student body. We are also fortunate to have an active PTA and supportive business community.

The North Vista Elementary School is a wonderful place to be a student. We are proud to offer a safe, caring environment, which allows children to experience the joy of learning in a positive place. The North Vista Staff welcomes you and your children to cross the “Threshold of Learning”. I look forward to reconnecting or meeting with you soon and throughout the school year.

Respectfully,

Sharon R. Dixon
