Welcome to Northern Hills!
Home of the Husky Pups!
The Northern Hills Parent Teacher Organization (NH PTO) comprises all parents, grandparents, and legal guardians of Northern Hills students as well as teachers, faculty, and administrators of the school. We are a non-profit organization that has no membership fees or annual dues. We cordially invite you to all of our meetings and events!
Welcome to the NH family! Look around the site to learn more about our school, organization, and how you and your student can be involved!
PTO Hospitality
A BIG THANKS to our PTO Hospitality Committee for all the great spreads they have set up so far this year. Our next hospitality event will be hosted by our Second Grade families in March. More information to come!
If you would like to help our committee with future events, please email president@nothernhillspto.com
Cookie Dough - Pick Up Date Change
Cookie dough orders will be picked up on March 9th from 4:00-6:00 p.m. in the front loop of the school. Please mark your calendars now. We are unable to store orders after this date as we do not have the freezer space.
TLC Gift Card Fundraiser
Northern Hills is partnering with TLC Garden Centers. We are selling $20 gift cards, with a percentage of the proceeds going directly to the school. You can get all your plants in one stop, and there's no limit to how many gift cards you can purchase! Visit https://northernhillspto.square.site to place an order and pay online. Orders must be placed by Friday, March 24. Pick up for gift cards will be on Wednesday, March 29 between 4 and 6 p.m. Just drive up and tell us your name! All gift cards will be distributed to the name on the order form. That person will be responsible for distributing. We cannot break up orders at pick up.
2023-2024 PTO Planning
We are looking for volunteers for next year, for both executive and committee members. If you are interested in serving in some capacity next year, please email president@northernhillspto.com.
Holiday Store
We were sad to not have the Holiday Store this year, but are hopeful we can have one December 2023. This event takes a lot of planning and shopping! We want to be able to hit the ground running this summer, which means we need to start preparing very soon. So if you are interested in being part of this committee to help shop over the summer, please email HolidayStore@northernhillspto.com.

PTO Monday Memo Emails
During the school year, look for a PTO Monday Memo each week with important information on upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, and sign-up links. This is your go-to spot for all the latest info in one place. The emails will come from "Northern Hills Elementary" and are pushed out to all currently enrolled students at the email addresses entered for each student in the Infinite Campus portal; no special sign-up or subscription required.
Text Messaging
Edmond Public Schools has implemented text messaging
service for parents. Text messaging allows EPS to deliver
important information about school closings, safety alerts,
bus announcements and more via SMS text messaging
through the School Messenger system-the same system
currently being used to send automated phone calls. The
process is simple and only takes a few seconds to complete.
To receive these messages, you must OPT-IN to the messaging service. Please text "Opt in" (NO HYPHEN) to 67587. By sending the correct message of “Opt in” (NO HYPHEN) you will get this message back: “You’re registered 4 SchoolMessenger notifications. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help. (etc)”.

Mobile App
The district has launched an official mobile app designed
to enable parents, staff, students and the broader community
to stay informed and up-to-date on important issues,
information and activities underway within the school community.
The free app is available for download in the Apple and Android
app stores by searching for Edmond Public Schools.
