Principal's message
Greetings Team!
I hope you had an amazing first week back! We certainly hit the ground running and have several exciting events just around the corner. From Beckopoply, House Sorting, and the Father/Daughter dance, there is a lot of excitement on campus. Please make sure to check the YAG and make sure that we have strong grade-level representation at our PTA sponsored events.
Thanks for being amazing!
Always True Blue,
S. Conklin

Campus/District Goals
Campus Goal:
Mastery performance for each grade-level cohort as measured by STAAR will increase by 15%-20% in grades 3-5; K-2 mastery performance will be measured by the EOy goal in DRA2 for ELA . Mastery performance for campus developed EOY math inventory will be at 50% in grades K-2.
Problem of Practice:
Student achievement will improve when learning experiences are routinely differentiated to meet each student's unique needs.

2. Masters Level Performance: NISD will develop specific target goals for each STAAR/SOC assessment that places an emphasis on students reaching the "Masters" level distinction.
3. College, Career, and Life Readiness: NISD will ensure that every student is progressing toward achieving CCR status, experiencing personalized learning opportunities, and developing social-emotional skills in order to attain their definition of personal success.
