THANK YOU, NELSD COMMUNITY!
Thank you to our Northeastern Local School District community for voting to renew the 1% earned income tax levy. We are incredibly grateful for your continued commitment to our schools and our students. Your vote allows us to maintain the stable funding needed to provide a strong educational foundation, including support for teachers, staff, classroom resources, and student opportunities.
We want to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and energy on the levy campaign. Your passion and dedication played a key role in this outcome.
This vote of confidence means we can keep focusing on what matters most—teaching, learning, and building a strong future for our children. Together, we’ll keep moving forward to build a stronger NELSD.

✈️ Miss Rayna from Mrs. Reaver's 4th grade at Northeastern is ready to rock the school year! 🎸
She shared her dream of becoming a vet when she grows up!
Exploring the United States through the eyes of Northeastern Elementary School's 5th Grade students!
Fifth grade students at Northeastern worked on their United States map puzzles. Beginning in September, these budding scholars took a deep dive into learning about the nation's five regions and their landforms, waterways, natural resources, products, climate, and rich cultural nuances that make each region unique.
✈️ A Fisher Sighting in Pre-K!🎣🚂
SPOTTED!
We've tracked him down! 
Superintendent Fisher has been caught taking it old-school in Mrs. McKeever's preschool class with the baby Jets of Northeastern Elementary!
It appears he's traded his gold crested wings 
for a pair of wheels 
as he derails from his usual railroad of tasks to blow off some steam with some of our little engines!
Whether he was conducting the class or getting these students sidetracked, we don't know.
All we do know is that we could not be more "freight"ful 
for his loco-motivation to keep our classrooms well-oiled and rolling through the day!

Voting Creativity Shines Through at Northeastern
Northeastern Elementary, Middle, and High sSchool students showed off their creativity and learned voting skills in our recent bookmark-esigning competition! 
Northeastern students grades 1-12 had the opportunity to design a bookmark based on their interests to be voted on by their classmates! Students were able to design anything they wanted and show off their interests. 
Students could participate and vote for their favorite designs to practice their voting skills going into the November elections! 
Winners of the elementary competition received a certificate and goodie bag, and our middle and high school winners received gift cards! Their designs will be in the library 
Congratulations to our winners!
