Welcome to Mr. Reisetter's North View web page!

Hi; thanks for coming!
On this web site you'll find lots of useful information:

1. the Choir Syllabus/Handbook for the year, which includes concert dates, concert attire (how to dress), grading guidelines, contact information for me, and lots of other Useful Stuff.

2. many links to resources that I also store on the Assignment drive (the I: drive) at North View. These will include worksheets, PowerPoints, links to other websites, activities, and assignments of all descriptions.

Available time will probably not permit me to update this web page on a regular basis (I have to be my own webmaster BESIDES preparing lessons, rehearsals, music, worksheets, acitivities, concerts, grading, grades, etc., etc. for 200+ students). However, students and parents can FIND assignments (as well as lots of other cool stuff) here as resources!

So the calendar on this website may not show when assignments are (were) due. But, students can get that information from me in class daily, and parents/guardians can see due dates for missing work by looking in School View (the parents/guardian access portal to their child's grades).

If you would like to gain access to School View (you must be a custodial parent or legal guardian of the North View student), you'll need to make arrangements to come to North View to get a "key". Please contact the main NVJH office at 763-585-7200.

Email is the best way to contact me with questions/concerns/suggestions, etc.

Again, thanks for coming, and Happy Browsing!

--Mr. Reisetter

P.S. This web page builder doesn't seem to have a spell check function. So if you see typos and they're driving you nuts, please feel free to let me know! I'm new to this, too. :-)
