NB WELCOMES BACK STUDENTS ON WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 18TH

Superintendent’s Message

Dear Community Members, Parents, Students and Staff;

We in North Baltimore are blessed with a supportive community, caring parents and highly competent and skilled teachers, support staff, and administrators. We are proud of the many accomplishments of our students in the classrooms, on the playing fields, in the arts and sciences, and in the many co and extra-curricular activities that are provided.

It is the desire of the Board of Education, administration and staff of the North Baltimore School District to continue to lead our students down the road to success in partnership with our parents and community. While we take pride in our many accomplishments and past successes, we cannot remain static. We must progress. We must constantly examine what we are doing and hold ourselves to increasingly higher standards. This is where our partnership with the home and community is so critical. We want our parents and community members to be active participants in the educational process. We want your support. We want your suggestions. We need your assistance.

In the year ahead, as in the past, I ask all shareholders – school, home and community – to resolve to strengthen our partnership for the ultimate benefit of our community’s most precious resources – our children. Together we can continue to lead our students down the road to success and in doing so build a stronger community. I promise I will do everything I can to make this your child’s best school year of their young lives.

Our buildings are ready, the excitement is growing, and we are anxious to welcome all our students back…those returning, those entering for the first time, and those new to our district. Everything is in place, and we are looking forward with anticipation to all the successes and good things that we know will take place this year at NBLS.

Let’s GO TIGERS!!
