πNorthwood Courtyard
π΄ Join the Northwood community for Walk + Bike to School Day! We encourage students to walk or bike to school with their families.
The Northwood Courtyard is open on Walk + Bike to School Day for breakfast snacks, drinks, and coffee (for the grown-ups!). No matter how students arrive at school, they will all receive a sticker and participate in the activities!
Families can arrive to Northwood as early as 8:45 AM.
βοΈ - Where can I park my bike during the day? There are bike racks outside both entrances to the school. We recommend bringing a bike lock, as the school cannot be responsible for stolen bicycles.
βοΈ - Can’t walk or bike to school that day? Bus riders and carpoolers are also making a good choice because they are reducing emissions by taking the bus rather than driving individually.
For more information, please contact president@northwoodowlspta.org
