Started in 2018, Care Teams are designated NSD staff who nominate students in need for financial help. Most Care Team Liaisons are school staff members who have direct contact with students, such as counselors, nurses, and other support personnel. Because of our Care Team Liaisons, we can continue removing barriers in education for Northshore students! LEARN MORE ABOUT CARE TEAMS |
