Hello Nighthawk Families, 

I am excited for another great year at the NEST. Over the last six years I have had the opportunity to work with your community and look forward to continuing this journey. At Northern, we take pride in being an amazing public school filled with dedicated teachers, supportive families, and, most of all, outstanding students. 

As we move into a new school year, I will strive to continue to be your teammate. Raising and educating students is no easy feat, but together we can do it! As a fellow parent, I understand the trust you put in your students' school, and I do not take that lightly. My goal is to keep your child safe, give them an outstanding education, and provide them with social experiences to meet the needs of the whole child. 

As I have shared with you all in previous years, my vision is to continue to foster a school community where adults empower students and others to realize and become their full potential. I believe in being student-centered, working together, being accessible, and inclusive to all. It is my hope that this is visible through not only my words, but also my actions. 

Northern Elementary is a magical school full of traditions, dedicated teachers, and a supportive community. I look forward to continuing this great work. 

As always, if you need to reach out to me, please feel free to call the school or email me at weeksn@gcsnc.com. 

Together we will make the 2024-2025 school year a great success!

Mrs. Weeks

Family Life: 

As a child I moved around quite a bit- New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois, Toronto, and finally North Carolina. After graduating from Elon, I moved back to Greensboro and never left. My husband, Neil, and I have a daughter, Nora, who is 5 years old.  We also have two energetic French Bulldogs-Luna and Hermione. Yes, we love Harry Potter! As a family, we enjoy taking walks, watching movies, and just spending time together. Personally, I love gardening, reading, crafting, and home renovation projects around our house.
