Northfield Public Schools Handbook
This handbook has been designed to be helpful in answering questions about Northfield Public Schools' programs, policies, and procedures. This handbook is not an all-inclusive list of rules, but rather an outline of expectations and procedures that assist in the operation of the school.
We welcome and encourage you to communicate with us at school. We look forward to working together with students and parents/guardians to give the students an opportunity to be successful in their education.
