Dear Northville Public Schools' Families, Staff and Community Members,
We invite you to peruse this latest issue of Northville Connections and enjoy the many extraordinary examples of creativity, ingenuity, compassion, collaboration and connection that are reflected in the work of our students, our staff, and our community as we continue to navigate these challenging times. You’ll also find several important reminders, along with a host of upcoming opportunities to connect with Northville Public Schools to learn more, share feedback and/or contribute to our vibrant learning community.
We continue to closely monitor COVID-19 cases within Northville Public Schools, and across our community as a third wave of the Coronavirus pandemic grips our region, state, and nation. Our current in-person scenarios across Northville Public Schools maximize the high priority school mitigation measures that the CDC has identified as necessary during high transmission, including universal and correct use of masks and distancing. These measures have limited the spread of COVID-19 at school, and the number of resulting quarantines when there is a positive case. That said, we remain concerned about the gatherings outside of school and relaxing of protocols at a time when community spread is dangerously high.
Northville Public Schools will once again host COVID-19 Testing at NHS on Sunday April 18, 2021 and Sunday, April 25, 2021, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. Pre-registration at the link above is strongly recommended.
With diligence on everyone’s part, we can get past this alarming uptick in cases while keeping our students in school for the balance of the school year. We are grateful to everyone who remains vigilant in following safety protocols both within and outside of school, and in being mindful of the health and safety of our school community.
There are still a few days left to experience the inspiring and thought-provoking Northville Public Schools IB Art Exhibition and Visual Art Exhibition on display at Northville Art House in-person or virtually at the Northville Art House website through April 14, 2021. The exhibitions feature the work of our International Baccalaureate Diploma Program students, along with the work of students whose submissions to the PTA Reflections contest were selected for state and national level competition. Using a variety of mediums from writing, photography, music and drawings, our students portray their unique perspectives of the world around them. We are grateful for the support of Northville Art House, and Northville Council of PTAs for the opportunity to showcase the work of our students.
Lastly, I would like to encourage each of our school district residents to vote in the May 4, 2021 election. Northville Public Schools has a critical Operating Millage Renewal proposal on the ballot to renew the current operating millage on all non-homestead property for five years, 2022 to 2026. This millage applies only to non-homestead property such as businesses, rental properties, and second homes. This millage renewal will impose no new taxes. This millage generates about $10 million annually for Northville schools, representing 16% of the district's overall operating revenues. Learn more about the Non-Homestead Operating Millage Renewal on the District website, or please join me, district administrators and members of the Board of Education at one of the upcoming informational meetings that will be held via zoom on Thursday, April 15 from 4-5 p.m. and Monday, April 19 from 6-7 p.m.
We are also in the midst of in-depth planning for a full return in Fall 2021 and continue to be encouraged by the research on effective COVID-19 mitigation measures, along with broader access to vaccines and the ongoing research being conducted on vaccines for those under the age of 16. Fall 2021 registration for incoming kindergartners and new families is underway!
We hope you enjoy this edition of Northville Connections, and are inspired by the work of our students, staff and families, and the fine examples of a community coming together to celebrate learning and growth, support one another during times of challenge, and exercise compassion, patience, resilience and fortitude.
Sincerely,

March 23 – April 14: Northville High School IB Art Exhibition
The Northville High School IB Art Exhibition is a culmination of the annual International Baccalaureate Art program at Northville High School. In the program, students explore skills, techniques, processes, and vocabulary which they use to pursue an in-depth investigation of art and this self-curated group exhibition. In the exhibition, 19 students will present a selection of their best work and communicate their purpose in a written rationale at the Northville Art House.
Monika Miller, Lead Instructor of the IB Art program at Northville High School, shares, “The IB Art students showed a passion for art throughout and despite this pandemic. I am so proud of their commitment to create artwork that is meaningful and personal. These pieces have a connection not only to the artist, but hopefully to all who view them. We thank the Art House for their generous donation of the time and space to house this special and unique exhibition.”
March 23 – April 14: Northville Public Schools Virtual Art Exhibition
First held in 1999, the exhibition is held annually to promote the appreciation and importance of arts education. This year the Art House celebrates the spirit of creativity through the work of students in Grades 6-12 from Northville Public Schools.
This year the exhibition will be presented online with enhanced gallery labels discussing the artwork. A few works will be available for purchase.
Michigan PTA Reflections Winners Announced
The Reflections program is the National PTA’s cornerstone art program. It was founded in 1969 by Colorado PTA president Mary Lou Anderson. Since its founding, millions of students have participated in the program. The goal of the program is participation in and appreciation for the arts.

Drive-Thru COVID-19 Testing
Sunday, April 18, 2021 & Sunday, April 25, 2021
Northville High School Parking Lot
11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Pre-registration Encouraged at http://honumg.info/NorthvilleHS to register time slots to help reduce wait times.
In partnership with the State of Michigan and MDHHS, Northville Schools will host drive-thru COVID-19 testing opportunities in the Northville High School parking lot (45700 Six Mile Rd, Northville, MI.)
The drive-thru testing event is open to all Northville residents and the public and will be taking place on Sunday, April 18, 2021 and Sunday, April 25, 2021, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Pre-registration is strongly encouraged at http://honumg.info/NorthvilleHS or by scanning the QR code in the above graphic with your smart device camera.
During the drive-thru testing event, participants will receive a rapid test and receive results within 15 minutes. Individuals who receive positive rapid test results will be given the opportunity to receive a follow-up PCR test, receiving those results within 24-48 hours.
We encourage the community to take advantage of this free opportunity. Actions taken by our school and local community members to limit the spread of the coronavirus will allow Northville Public Schools to continue with our commitment for a full return in 2021-22.
May 4, 2021 Election
Northville Public Schools Non-Homestead Operating Millage Renewal
Non-Homestead Operating Millage Renewal Informational Meetings:
Thursday, April 15 from 4-5 p.m.
Monday, April 19 from 6-7 p.m.
On May 4, 2021, all registered voters in the Northville Public School District will have the opportunity to vote on an Operating Millage proposal that would renew the current millage rate of 19.2383 mills on all non-homestead property for five years, 2022 to 2026. This millage applies only to non-homestead property such as businesses, rental properties, and second homes. Even though owners of primary residences are not affected, state law requires a district-wide election to approve the Operating Millage.
This millage renewal will impose no new taxes.
This millage generates about $10 million annually for Northville schools, representing 16% of the district's overall operating revenues. The money received from the Operating Millage supports the District’s day-to-day operations, including payment of salaries and benefits, classroom supplies and materials, and student transportation and building maintenance. Failure to pass the millage renewal would result in a significant loss in operating revenue for the school district beginning in 2022.
This is not a new tax. This millage was last approved by voters in November 2011, when voters approved a millage rate of 20.9100 mills. That millage has been reduced to 19.2383 through subsequent Headlee Amendment adjustments, and the District is seeking to renew the reduced rate of 19.2383 mills.
Additionally, this millage is vital to ensuring the District receives the full per pupil allocation from the state. In order to receive this full allocation, school districts must levy the statutory maximum operating millage of 18 mills. Although the current ballot proposal requests 19.2383 mills, the District cannot levy more than 18 mills, just as occurring today. The remaining 1.2383 mills would serve as a hedge against future Headlee adjustments, thereby ensuring the District can continue to levy 18 mills and receive the full per pupil allocation from the state.
In summary, this millage maintains the current school tax for business owners, is not levied on primary residential property -- but represents a significant source of operating revenue for the District.
Contact nps@northvilleschools.org or call Mike Zopf, Assistant Superintendent of Finance & Operations on 248-344-3511 if you have any questions about the Operating Millage.
Thornton Creek provides CARE packages for families in need during annual C.A.R.E.S Month
Thornton Creek students participated in the annual C.A.R.E (Cooperate, Appreciate, Respect and Empathize) School-wide Service Project during the month of February. Every grade level helped collect items for C.A.R.E packages for all essential workers at area hospitals, the Novi Police Department and the Northville Fire Department. Students also made cards for each of these essential workers to show that they are real-life heroes.
Led by teachers Daniel Spitzley & Nicole Wesley, Thornton Creek delivered CARE packages to hospitals and fire departments in the area. The school received the following letter from the Providence Hospital & UofM Health Systems-Ronald McDonald House:
Dear Daniel and Michael, and especially the kids and families of Northville's Thornton Creek Elementary School,
I can't wait to take all those amazing items to the Ronald McDonald House!
The families who stay at the Ronald McDonald House are doing so because a kid in the family is hospitalized and in delicate condition.
The family usually comes from quite a distance just so as to be able to get the superb care Mott Children's Hospital provides.
They leave everything behind to be near the patient in the family, and to nurture him or her.
The coffee and munchies and activities and books and cards you sent along for them will undoubtedly cheer them up tremendously!
It took a team! Thank you to Daniel for organizing this, to Michael for bringing them to the hospital and doing the heavy lifting, and also - unexpectedly - to Heather Meyer, his wife (who knew?? Both passionate about kids) for getting a more suitable cart, and pushing it with all the boxes, to the Volunteer Services Office - then taking the emptied cart back to Mott.
I'll make plans with The Ronald McDonald House to deliver everything a.s.a.p. Wish I could capture the smiles of delight which will no doubt light up the faces of the recipients, who are likely under a lot of stress, and exhausted.
You folks are all a blessing! Thank you!!!

NEF Innovative Grant funding provides third graders out of this world engineering & problem solving experience
Markus Hartnett’s third grade students at Amerman Elementary are participating in the City X Project through a grant from the Northville Educational Foundation. Utilizing the Stanford design process for engineering, students are solving intergalactic problems on an imaginary planet being colonized and creating a host of problems to be solved by student designers and engineers. The third graders are tasked with development, testing, prototyping and the reinvention of solutions for problems such as not enough sunlight to grow food, nowhere to put the trash, and no clean water to name a few. Northville students used Stanford University's Design Thinking Process to empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test and share their inventions. A 3D printer brings the creations and solutions to life.
Mr. Hartnett previously taught the City X project in Illinois. He says of the experience, “This is a project that needs to make its way into elementary classrooms. Design thinking is a skill that every 21st century learner needs.”
Although the City X Project is a free experiment, the Northville Educational Foundation Innovative Grant provided the funds to purchase the 3D printer and materials to print. “NEF’s goal is to fund projects that are unique and that ignite curiosity in our kids,” said Christa Howley, Executive Director of the NEF. “Mr. Hartnett’s project challenges his students to think differently, to be inquisitive and to solve problems. These are all skills that will benefit our students now and in the future. It was an easy decision to fund Project City X because it will help create the inventors and innovators of tomorrow.”
About Northville Educational Foundation Innovative Grants
These competitive teaching grants enhance classroom learning through projects that are creative and innovative but require extra funding. This past year we distributed $35,000 to over 30 projects across the district. Since 2010, NEF has awarded nearly $230,000 in Innovative Grant funding to NPS teachers.
About City X Project
The City X Workshop introduces key 21st century skills, including emotional literacy, empathy, design thinking, creative problem solving, and social literacy using hands-on engagement with 3D printing and modeling technologies. By embedding these learning objectives in the context of a story with elements of gaming, we are able to playfully walk young students through the process of invention. By the end, children ideate, prototype and test to turn their ideas for solving real-world problems into real, physical objects in a matter of days. The City X Project toolkit is the most educationally relevant introductory 3D printing and design thinking curriculum available for 8 to 12 year-olds.
