Smile! Borough Elementary Schools’ Franklin building will have its picture day Sept. 24. Students were given forms to order.

All students will have their photo taken, even if not being purchased.

***

Each Northampton Area High School student should have been sent an electronic copy of his or her ID. Please check for school email address and search for Christmas City Studios.

When scanning in or out of the building, your ID will be needed. Have it out and ready to scan. Also make sure your phone is as bright as it will go.

Last year’s IDs will also work until you receive your new ID.

Students with no IDs must still sign in at the office when coming into the building. If you come through and don’t scan in, you will being marked absent. If you don’t have an ID, be sure to see a secretary.

New this year is the Northampton Area School District app. This will allow parents, guardians and students to access documents, events, news updates and even emergency notifications.
