About Our School

Northview Elementary provides a positive academic learning experience in a respectful, nurturing environment. Our talented teachers design high-quality differentiated instruction based on the individual, diverse needs of our students. Our families and community are warmly welcomed into our school, forming a strong collaborative partnership. Our award-winning PTA organizes fund-raisers, hosts grade-level fun nights, provides supplemental funding for many programs and hosts a winter carnival for families each year. Students have many opportunities to expand their academic, social and leadership skills through special programs offered throughout the year. We are proud recipients of the Minnesota School of Excellence 2006-07 award from the Minnesota Elementary School Principals Association.
