Dr. Pamela Stark

It is my privilege to welcome you and your child to Northside Primary School. We proudly serve K and 1st grade students for Palestine ISD. Northside Primary is your child’s first step in the Wildcat journey! We are humbled and honored you chose us to begin the academic foundations that will serve as the core to our greater Wildcat mission: to educate our students in a variety of disciplines to prepare them for life after high school graduation. We strive everyday to help nurture and support these precious early learners to explore through play and age appropriate learning experiences. All of our teachers and paraprofessionals are dedicated to the learning needs of your child. Our students are supported by multiple teams of inhouse support including bilingual and special education teachers.

As a school that is part of PISD’s District of Innovation, we are constantly striving for excellence. We measure excellence through student growth, community and family involvement, and facility and staff morale. For the 2025-2026 academic year we are excited to announce a few new initiatives to support our students’ holistic growth:

  • A Diverse, Inclusive and Teacher-led, Student-Focused Leadership Team

  • WATCH D. O. G. S Program

  • Four Learning Labs

    • STEM Lab

    • Career Lab

    • Reading Lab

    • Multi-Media/Sensory Lab

  • Co-Teaching Model in Each Classroom

  • WIN/RTI Intervention Each Day

Thank you for trusting us with this precious time in your child’s educational development. I encourage all families to keep a positive mindset and a commitment to their child’s growth. Remember that every challenge presents an opportunity for growth, and our dedicated teachers and staff are here to support all students every step of the way. 

We encourage every Wildcat family to connect with PISD to help build and maintain our strong community. Our young Wildcats today are tomorrow’s community leaders! 

Go Wildcats!
