PTA Announcements

Northfield Elementary PTA has several sponsorship levels that allow businesses to invest in our school’s educational programs and activities that enrich the lives & education of our students. Our PTA directly supports community-building events, educational support in the classroom, student enrichment opportunities, staff support, hospitality, and extracurricular events. 

HCPSS Pre-K Program: The HCPSS Pre-K Program is accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year! The Pre-K Program is offered at no cost to families that qualify and is made available to eligible children in all attendance areas. Children must be four years old on or before September 1, 2025, to be considered for fall 2025 enrollment and must also meet the eligibility criteria. Families who are interested in applying should submit their completed application along with the required documentation to hcpss_pk@hcpss.org or to their local elementary school.

Locations with available LTP programs may vary each year.

Brownie Troop 4217 is collecting plastic pens, plastic markers, and plastic pencils. As you’re going thru your supplies (both in school and at home) at the end of this school year, don’t throw out your plastic writing supplies! We have conveniently placed bins through the school as well as a big bin at the entrance. We will be collecting supplies through the end of the school year. Last day to drop off supplies will be June 18. If you don’t get a chance to drop off your supplies, don’t worry. This project will resume next school year! Thanks for help us keep plastic out of the landfill!

Northfield has a thriving Girl Scout community and we would love for you to be a part of it! Girl Scouts at Northfield is more than just an activity — it’s a place where girls build lifelong friendships, grow in confidence, explore the outdoors, and develop skills that last a lifetime.
Now is the perfect time to sign up for the October 2025–2026 Scout year! Over the summer, we’ll be placing new scouts at all levels into existing troops and forming new troops for Kindergarten and 1st grade students.

Even though we are all on different walks of life, we are still in the same community. Every year, Howard County releases a guide of resources for parents. You can find it at this link: https://www.howardcountymd.gov/sites/default/files/2024-01/OCF.ParentsGuide1-29-24.pdf

Need to get a staff member a gift and don't know where to start? Our staff have filled out a form of their favorite things, allergies, and classroom wishlists and it's all at your fingertips in a convenient spreadsheet. This spreadsheet will be updated with new entries, so check back to see your specific staff member responses. This is a great resource for all those appreciation days.
