VERY IMPORTANT--College Visits
From the NISD Student/Parent Handbook:
In NISD, one of the goals of our secondary schools is to create a college going culture. To
this end, NISD high schools allow students in their junior and senior years to go on college
visits. As long as these visits are given prior approval, documented and do not exceed two
(2) school days per school year, college visits are considered excused absences. Any days
missed for college visits in excess of two (2) per school year will not be excused.
For seniors who wish to be exempt from spring semester exams, up to two (2) days of
college visit can be taken in the spring semester with prior approval and documentation.
These two (2) days would not count toward the maximum of three (3) absences to be eligible
for exam exemptions. Any days in excess of two (2) for college visits would count toward the
senior exam exemption total. If a senior takes two (2) college visit days in the spring these
will count as the two (2) per year mention in paragraph one above.
To obtain prior approval, please pick up the pink College Visitation Form from Ms. Garcia in the front office. This form should be filled out ahead of time by you and your parent and then needs to be signed by all of your teachers. During your visit, you will receive documentation that you were there. Bring this and the pink form to Mrs. Ramos in the front office in order to get your attendance updated.
