You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Norris School District''' is an elementary school district in [[Bakersfield, California]].

Norris School District was established in 1880, when farmer, Robert Norris, donated land to the Norris School District in Northwest [[Bakersfield]].((r|Kern Co Origins))  The school district has grown in size since then, but its philosophies are much the same.  There are currently four elementary schools: Norris Elementary, Olive Drive Elementary, William B. Bimat Elementary, and Veterans Elementary (opened in fall 2007).<ref>((cite web|url=https://norris.k12.ca.us/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=670039&type=d|title= Norris School District - About Us| access-date=2019-04-12))</ref> There is only one middle school, Norris Middle School, but the district has plans to build two new elementaries and one new middle school within the next ten years, depending on housing growth in the area.

In the 90s Norris School District received a Golden Bell Award for their library program.

==Schools==
With the growth of the school district, there have been three new schools built in the past decade.

===Norris Elementary School===

At first the Norris School was taught in a house of a local woman in 1880, however the Norris School was built in 1882 near Rosedale on land donated by Robert Norris, a local farmer. For 32 years, students in grades eight through one (at that time, children actually progressed from the highest to lowest grades) learned the three R's here. They also received moral and religious teachings through methods that relied heavily on rote and recitation. A teacher of a one-room school was expected to teach all eight grades as well as to serve as custodian, nurse, and disciplinarian, all for relatively little pay. The teachers at Norris School were fortunate in that one of the trustees of the district provided wood for the stove. In 1915, the school was rebuilt and it was much larger. Again in the 1950s it was reconstructed and again for the final time in 1980. In 2005 the school was moved to a new location for the middle school to have more room for more students. (In 2005 there were at least 3 students new to the Middle School every week.) Current principal is Erin Hudson. The school's mascot is the Squire.

=== Norris Middle School ===
Norris Middle School was established in 1959 on part of the elementary school's property.  In 1983 a new addition to the campus separated the middle school from the elementary. Both schools continued growing and in 2005 Norris Elementary said goodbye to its historical campus and was moved out to Old Farm Road, leaving the entire campus to the Middle School (with the exception of one wing which still houses the District Offices). There is a new library named the Mary Louise Robinson Library. 
The band director is Jared Dalgleish, and the vocal music teacher is LeAnn Thomas. As of the 2021-2022 school year, Norris Middle's principal is Ryan Carr.
This school is the district's only middle school, and its mascot is the Knight.

===Olive Drive Elementary===
Olive Drive Elementary was built in 1988 and opened in 1989. Due to growth within the District, nine additional classrooms were added in 2003. A new library was completed in 2014, named the "Richard P. Pierucci Library" in honor of the past superintendent that served in the district for 36 years. This school teaches grades Kindergarten through Grade 6, and the current principal is Brandy Rosander.  The school mascot is the Trail Blazer.

===William B. Bimat Elementary===
William B. Bimat is an [[elementary school]] in the Norris School District, which teaches classes K-6.  This school was opened in 2001-2002 school year, and the current principal is Jodi Mudryk. The school mascot is the Bulldog.

=== Veterans Elementary ===
Veterans elementary is the district's newest school. It opened on August 20, 2007. The school's current principal is Paula Mara. The school colors are red, white, and blue. The school is very patriotic and supports the veterans and does a lot of things to help the community and support their veterans. The school now has a pledge to vow to always support their troops and never take them for granted. The school mascot is the Eagle.
