Today, we hope you take a moment to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. There is no school today, but we will see our students and staff back in class tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan. 17!

The Board of Education approved calendars for 2023-2024. We will not have Late Start Thursdays; instead, in accordance with the Strategic Plan, we will have several full days off for students while staff participate in professional development. Details: nkcschools.org/calendar

Our amazing Northgate feeder pattern is performing for our kiddos today. Love hearing the orchestra, choir, and band from @NGMSgators #EaglesRise

Our @NGMSgators boys’ basketball team put up a valiant effort in tonight’s tournament game that came down to the wire!

It was an honor presenting with Tammie Smith May at @KCTRes inaugural The Summit event. Sessions on relevant educational topics with powerful speakers and educational leaders throughout the city!

Forever in our ❤️ hearts ❤️ #Pic- Courtesy Coach Kraai- LLJ
