Welcome to Northome School
New CDL Class and ATS truck driving simulator coming to Northome School!
A Commercial Driving License (CDL) Class is coming to Northome School during the 2025-2026 school year! Northome School is really excited to be offering a class called "On the Road to a CDL". The class will be offered to Northome students who will be 17 years of age by December 30th of 2025 and hold either a valid Minnesota Driver's License or Instructional Permit. This class will be a year-long class and will focus on classroom instruction, discussion, guest speakers and hands-on driving experience, using a state of the art ATS Truck Driving Simulator. Northome School will be sending an instructor to a "Train the Trainer" event in June that will be held at Patterson High School in California. A huge benefit of this program will be cost savings for our students and their families. On average, attending a typical Truck Driving School will cost students between $5,000-$7,000 dollars. Over the summer, Northome School will be accepting current Northome Students and also Open Enrolled students who would like to attend this amazing class. (see link button on the left) It will be very similar to the one offered by Patterson High School. If you know of a student that would be interested, please contact Northome School to enroll at 218-897-5275.
As a community member, and Director of the DAC I truly appreciate all the opportunities Northome School gives our clients and staff to participate in their community.
The teachers at Northome School are the most caring people I know. Mr. Schneider the science teacher and track coach is nice and encouraging and always ready to help you become the best you.
Building positive relationships with students and families is a must. Northome School goes above and beyond to make sure that happens.

Information for Families: Head Lice Prevention Tips
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We want to share some helpful information about preventing head lice in school. Head lice are common among children and can be inconvenient, but they do not spread disease and can be managed effectively with simple precautions. Lice spread through close head-to-head contact or by sharing personal items such as hats, brushes, combs, or headphones. They do not spread through classrooms, carpets, or furniture.
To support a healthy learning environment for all students in grades PreK–6, our school uses the following everyday prevention strategies:
• Providing space between desks and chairs to limit shoulder-to-shoulder contact
• Ensuring students hang coats and hats separately, rather than in piles
• Encouraging extra space while students line up, walk in hallways, or transition between classes
• Reducing close-contact games (such as wrestling) during times when cases are more common
• Limiting shared head-gear (earphones, helmets, drama hats/costumes) and vacuuming these items between uses
• Offering age-appropriate reminders to students about not sharing brushes, combs, hats, headbands, or clothing
These same prevention steps are helpful at home as well. Families can support their children by reminding them not to share personal items like brushes, combs, hats, or hair accessories, and by keeping any child currently being treated for lice from close head-to-head play or napping near others.
Our goal is to provide families with clear information—not alarm. Head lice are treatable, manageable, and preventable with consistent habits. If you ever have questions or need guidance, please feel free to contact the school health office.
Thank you for your partnership in keeping our school community healthy.

Practicing gratitude is a powerful part of supporting positive mental health, which is why writing letters of gratitude is included in our mental health unit. Research shows that expressing appreciation can lower stress and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. By writing a meaningful letter to a staff member, students practice emotional awareness, kindness, and reflection.

Nice project Mr. Boser and students. I myself appreciated receiving a letter from Roman! It made my year. Roman is a funny, loud and he is fun to have conversations with. He is a very kind human being.
Our Annual Christmas Concert is next week already! Everyone is welcome to come to the concert and stay for a treat. PLUS, this year the Senior High band and choir will be holding a bake sale right after the concert to help support upcoming music programs and field trips at school. We hope to see you all there!
