Northwestern Families,
The Free/Reduced Meal Applications for the 2025-2026 school year are now available online through our Payschools link (https://www.payschoolscentral.com). If you are new to Payschools, you will need to choose Northwestern LS - Clark Co as the school and you will need your student's ID number. Families must complete a new application each year. To ensure that your child starts back to school with an updated meal qualification, please complete your application before August 19, 2025. Paper applications will be available at the start of school. However, online applications will determine your qualification immediately. Remember to sign the application when prompted to complete the process.
Thank you,
Northwestern Food Service Dept.

Please complete your back-to-school forms ASAP! Our transportation department is hard at work building the 2025-2026 bus routes. If your child does not have their forms complete, they can not be routed! Thank you!
Our secondary staff has been working to bring more hands-on learning opportunities to students through Problem Based Learning (PBL). Over the past three summers, staff have attended PBL World, hosted by the Buck Institute, to learn about and create lessons that offer numerous benefits for both staff and students including: fostering collaboration, communication, and creativity, while connecting learning to real-world applications. PBL is proven to improve knowledge retention and promote a deeper understanding of the subject matter for all learners.
We are excited to engage students in a variety of real world problems this year and expand the relevance to what they are learning while answering this common question, "Why do I need to know this?".

Congratulations to incoming 7th grade student, Chloe Walsh, for being selected to attend SPARCL-ER Camp. This exclusive and competitive camp is for students age 12-14. Only 12 students in the nation were selected to attend this overnight week long camp in Florida!
Chloe was the head coder on her team while there and even got to experience using the largest telescope in Florida to look at all kinds of amazing things in space!

Dear Northwestern families,
On June 1st, we will roll out FinalForms to the district. This platform will replace OneView and be used to complete online registration and the annual back-to-school forms.
To begin, every family will receive an account confirmation email from the FinalForms Mailman. When you open the email, you will click the link, set your password, and confirm your account.
Next, you will register your students and complete their annual back-to-school forms. Instructions are attached and can be found on the website and Facebook page. All forms MUST be completed by August 1st.
We currently use FinalForms for our athletics, so some of you will already be familiar with this! If you have any questions, please contact 937-964-1318 ext. 3500.
Thank you!

Here's an opportunity for the lady warriors!
Good afternoon NWES Parents and Guardians. If you reside in the Honey Creek Mobile Home Park, your students will arrive home approximately 20-25 minutes later than usual. This is a result of bus driver shortage. Drop off time tomorrow, 5.23.25, will be at the expected time. Thank you, and Go Warriors!
Beginning the 2025-2026 school year, Northwestern Local Schools will be switching entirely to the FinalForms platform for ALL of our online forms. We currently use FinalForms for athletics. Students will receive more information with their grade cards. On June 1st, all families will receive an account confirmation email. More information to come!
