School-to-home communication is key, no matter the grade. Northfield provides effective, consistent and unified messages through the use of a variety of internal and external communication platforms, including phone calls, email, text, the school’s website, Schoology and social media. A comprehensive approach to overall communication helps ensure greater impact.
All Northfield emails come from ‘noreply@dpsk.org;’ text messages come from 98900; and phone calls from 720-423-3000 or Northfield’s office phone number (720-423-8001). Email Northfield’s Communications Specialist, April Slater, or call 720-423-8016, with any questions related to school communications.
In case of an emergency, messages may be left for students at 720-423-8000. Please do not call student cell phones. There is absolutely no paging of a student during school hours.
Parents/Guardians who wish to make an appointment to see an administrator, counselor, or student support staff, should contact the Main Office at 720-423-8000. If the meeting is regarding a class assignment or grade, then parents/guardians need to contact the teacher first to discuss the issue prior to contacting the alpha administrator. Oftentimes, administrators are not available, as they are in classroom observations, meetings on-site, or out of the building. It is always best to set an appointment before arriving at the school. You may not be seen that day by an administrator without an appointment. Parents/Guardians who want to make an appointment with the teacher can contact them directly via email or phone call. It is important that parents/guardians communicate with the teacher on any classroom concern prior to contacting administration.
Parents/Guardians and students can have immediate access to student records through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. To gain access, a parent/guardians must sign up for an account. Attendance history, current class grades, health records, student schedules, and standardized test scores are all available through this portal. Northfield utilizes Schoology for real-time grades. Parents/Guardians can create a Schoology account through the Apps Section of the Parent Portal.
School-wide parent/guardian teacher conferences are scheduled in the Fall and Spring. If you would like to meet with the teacher prior to or after conferences, please contact the teacher directly to set up an appointment. Contact information for all teachers is found within the Staff Directory.
Parents/Guardians may request to visit their student’s classroom through the school counselor or individual teacher.
