2020-2021 Yearbook – Northview Middle School
The theme of the Northview Middle School 2020-21 yearbook is “Virtual Reality.” The yearbook club is working hard to gather images and interviews so that we can look back on this incredibly different school year.

Would you like to help the yearbook club by providing images from the school year? We need your help! Students…watch Google Classroom for announcements on opportunities to participate. If you are a parent and you have images from sporting/extracurricular events, feel free to email them to mike.radue@ankenyschools.org.
FUTURE READY WEEK INFORMATION 2021-2022
The 2nd Annual Ankeny Future Ready “Night” begins on February 8th and will run through February 19th. This year our “NIGHT” has turned into a website with all of the information that parents/guardians and students will need in order to select courses for the 2021-2022 school year.
Within the website, you will have the opportunity to learn about a variety of programs, resources and opportunities available to our students. Last year parents were only able to choose up to four different sessions to attend, but this year all of these sessions are available via the website. Each of these sessions will provide you with tools to help your student select courses that align with their post-secondary plan.

Northview Middle School Early Out Monday, February 1
Shortly after 10 a.m. Northview Middle School experienced a water main break under the building leading to the water needing to be shut off until it can be repaired. As a result, Northview Middle School needs to close early today, Monday, February 1. All other Ankeny Schools will be in session on their regular schedules.
Please make plans to pick up your students as soon as you are able, today, Monday, February 1. This message has gone out to emergency contacts as well to assist you in coordinating the pickup of your child(ren).
When you pick up your child(ren), please go to the west coming from NW 18th St. or the north side of the building.
