Mission and Beliefs: 

 The North Tonawanda City School District is committed to helping all children achieve their highest potential in a safe, nurturing environment where goal setting, striving for excellence, and displaying respect for others are high priorities.  It is the purpose of North Tonawanda Intermediate to:   

  • ensure the safety and welfare of students and staff in an enjoyable learning environment 

  • encourage students to take responsibility and to be accountable for their learning and their actions 

  • foster a climate of kindness, friendship, and inclusiveness among the entire student body 

  • strive to develop competent students who are able to make meaningful contributions to their community and to society 

  • provide staff members who are trained, equipped, and prepared to intervene appropriately in the event of behavioral misconduct 

  • provide quality academic programs in keeping with the New York State Standards for Learning 

We further believe that this can be accomplished through a collaborative effort of home, school, and community.  Therefore, we ask that parents and guardians:   

  • ensure that students attend school regularly 

  • support students in their efforts to achieve academic and behavioral standards 

  • ensure that their child(ren) arrive to school on time after having had adequate sleep and breakfast 

  • ensure that students are dressed appropriately for school, including consideration for the weather 

  • provide students with an appropriate lunch and/or snack 

  • contact the school with updates to emergency information 

  • pick up and drop off students in a timely fashion in the designated safe areas
