Heritage Intermediate School students are seen in some candid moments from earlier this week. Learning can be fun and friendships are important in the lives of our students!



NMS in-district and all out-of-district 8th grade families -- please mark this on your calendar!!


Today, we are taking a moment to celebrate the absolute unsung heroes of our school! 🦸♂️🦸♀️
Our incredible maintenance team does so much behind the scenes that goes unnoticed. Every single day, they are working hard to ensure our school runs efficiently and, most importantly, safely for all of our students and staff.
From fixing the things we don't even realize are broken, to putting in the physical labor to keep our campus and grounds looking beautiful, we truly couldn't do it without them. 🌳🏫✨
If you see a member of our maintenance team today, please join us in giving them a massive THANK YOU for everything they do! 👏💙



Our 4th-grade students at Heritage Intermediate School took a trip back in time last week for their first annual Pioneer Day! Ten classes rotated through hands-on stations to experience what life was like on the frontier.
Our young pioneers stayed busy:
Churning fresh butter and sewing quilt squares.
Testing their skills at marbles and masterfully square dancing.
Crafting covered wagons to prepare for the trail.
Practicing communication and trade through a bartering simulation between Native Americans and European settlers.
It wasn’t just a lesson—it was an experience! History really comes to life when you’re living it.











Last week, our Heritage Intermediate School Science Club had an incredible time getting hands-on with biology!
A HUGE shoutout to the amazing members of the Northridge High School Science Olympiad team who stopped by to mentor our students and help them extract actual DNA! 🔬🍓
There is nothing quite like seeing that "wow" moment when a complex concept becomes something you can see and hold. We love seeing our high schoolers step up as leaders to inspire the next generation of scientists.
Thank you, Northridge Science Olympiad, for your time, expertise, and for making science so much fun! 👏🌟












Oakley Cox, a third-grade student at Orchard View Elementary, has shown truly inspiring growth over the past several years. Oakley began his journey in Miss Schrock’s kindergarten classroom, where he faced significant academic and behavioral challenges and was mostly non-verbal. With the support of Mrs. Gaskill and a paraprofessional during first grade, Oakley began learning how to regulate his behavior and made meaningful academic progress. At the start of second grade, he transitioned into the Mixed Abilities program, where his growth continued.
Now in third grade—his second year in the Mixed Abilities classroom with Mrs. Miller—Oakley’s progress has been remarkable. He has emerged as a leader among his peers, consistently demonstrates empathy toward others, and has experienced accelerated academic growth. Oakley is now reading, communicating confidently with peers and adults, and has not had a single behavioral incident resulting in an office referral this school year. He has also developed a positive and playful rapport with Mr. Martin.
Principal Martin shared, “Oakley’s success is a true testament to the collective efforts of the Orchard View Elementary team, including Miss Schrock, Mrs. Gaskill, Mrs. Nay, Mrs. Nesbitt, Mrs. Palmer, the Mixed Abilities support team, and Mrs. Miller. We also want to recognize Oakley’s parents, Kirk and Kira, for trusting the process and remaining committed—even during the challenges that persisted throughout kindergarten and first grade. A special recognition goes to Ms. Khing, Oakley’s biggest supporter, whose passion, dedication, and unwavering support have played a critical role in his success.”
Oakley’s journey has not been easy, but it has been incredibly rewarding.
Congratulations, Oakley—we are so proud of you!

This dedicated group of students meets during recess to expand their skills and share their love of art. It is a selective group, requiring an application process to join, and their passion really shined through last night as they guided the board members through the creative process.
Thank you to our young artists for sharing your talents and bringing some color to the meeting! 🖍️✨
