What's Happening at DATA
I already took the SAT, why should I take the ACT?
Here are a few reasons why your student should take the ACT even if they took the SAT and are okay with their score.
The ACT allows a calculator!
The highest level math on the ACT is Algebra II!
You have an alternative choice to send to the college or university you are applying to.
It's free!
These are just a few. Check out the flyer below for more reasons why.
Rider Readiness Night
College Career Military Ready!
Below are some opportunities to help our students get these designations:
Roosevelt 9th – 11th grade students will be taking the PSAT on Tuesday, Oct 17th. For more information, including how to prepare for the test, please see this letter from NEISD: https://bit.ly/PostSecondaryTesting

Skyward Family Portal
North East ISD is constantly working to improve its services to you--our parents and community. The Family Access Portal is an example of this commitment. The portal will get you access to the following resources:
- Grades
- Attendance
- Schedules
- Graduation Plans
But that's not all.
- Paperless report cards. Grade reporting is now paperless. This just doesn’t save trees, it saves you time with instant access to grades.
- Email Alerts. Get alerted for specific events for academics.
Transportation
That information should be accessible early next week. Please be patient with transportation once school starts; it takes a week or so to fix any kinks in the schedule.
The last Tuesday of each month is an early release day. For those days, students will not go to ICSI or CTEC. They will need to report to the campus designated location which will be announced closer to that date.
