Martinsburg North Middle Welcome Toolkit

Welcome to Our School

Dear Parents and Students,

This school year will be filled with excitement and learning for all students. The staff at North Middle has prepared themselves to provide a high standard of daily instruction in all subject areas to maximize student learning and development.

Academic achievement and student success is a priority at North. Students are supported and encouraged to meet a high standard of academic excellence as they learn valuable skills. Our students will participate in a variety of learning opportunities in and outside of the classroom to enhance the curriculum.

The staff at North want to help each child shine in the classroom and we want to partner with parents throughout the school year to accomplish this important task. You can participate in your child’s education by overseeing homework, discussing graded class assignments, registering for a parent Schoology account,  reviewing report cards with your child, and attending school events and activities.

Communication between home and school is essential.

Thank you in advance for your help in making this school year a success for your child and our school.

Sincerely,

Kevin Pittsnogle, Principal

Where to Take Your Questions & Concerns

Berkeley County Schools values open and respectful communication to ensure questions and concerns are addressed quickly and effectively.

Safety concerns should always be reported immediately to the school principal or law enforcement. Staff, families, and community members are also welcome to share concerns with the Board of Education; these concerns will first be directed to the appropriate staff member, department, or the Superintendent for resolution. We believe the most effective communication happens directly—by phone or email—rather than on social media. To connect with the right person as quickly as possible, please use the staff directory or the chatbot feature on our website.
