Welcome to Northmead Elementary! We take great pride in taking care of your children and providing them with a learning environment that is safe and nurturing!

Northmead Elementary includes grades K-6  located in Patterson, Ca.; one of five elementary schools in Patterson Joint Unified School District. 

Northmead is a proud member of the No Excuses University Network of schools whose goal is the success of all students through the constant improvement of six exceptional systems.  We focus on creating a positive learning environment, providing students with a quality education that is driven by data and building an individuals' character. 

Northmead Elementary’s motto is “Where Character Counts and College is for Certain.”  We believe that it is important to teach students how to be kind and caring towards others as well as giving them the skills they need to be academically successful. Our goal is to make sure all students are thoroughly prepared for their next level of education. Due to the foundation they build here at Northmead they will be prepared for college and upon graduation choose the path they desire. 

To promote equity and fairness we use our Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports to teach rules and support social and academic needs. At Northmead our school rules are as follows:


        *BE RESPECTFUL     *BE RESPONSIBLE        *BE SAFE       *BE KIND
