Inspiring Tomorrow's Innovators, Today!

Notes from our Director
Hello DATA community,
Remember, no school tomorrow, October 11, for Indigenous Peoples' Day! Enjoy your day off, but please get any missing work completed as the first nine weeks ends this Friday. This week will be Pink Out Spirit week as we gear up for the Pink Out game and Tail Gate party on Saturday, October 16 at Comalander Stadium. See more details below to ensure you don't miss out.
On Wednesday, October 13, we will be giving the PSAT on campus to all 9th, 10th, and 11th graders. Seniors who will be applying for the Alamo Promise will be able to take the TSI on October 13. All other seniors will have late arrival to school that day, reporting at 12 noon.
On Monday, October 11, students will be emailed their classroom assignments for the PSAT testing day, to their school accounts, but they will also be posted on the cafeteria windows the morning of the test.
Our second DATA spirit competition will take place on Saturday this week in conjunction with our Pink Out Tail Gate Party at 5:30pm and our Pink Out Game at 7:00pm at Comalander Stadium on October 16. Students, be sure to wear your pink and check-in with the QR code provided at each of the events. Students can get in FREE to the game by bringing 2 cans of food for the Tackle Hunger 4 NEISD campaign. Parents are invited to join us for both of these events and come out to support the Riders. The Tail Gate is a joint effort sponsored by both the DATA Alliance and ETA Alliance with food, games, and fun for all. See additional details included below.
Please review the many details included below. If you have specific questions, please reach out so we can assist with those items. Have a wonderful week and please continue to stay safe.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month & TR's PinkOut Game is October 16.
Mr. Falcon's Film Production Classes were Creating Masterpieces this week
Reminder - AP exam payment opened October 7
The payment window opened October 7. Students will access the “AP Exams Payment” link via their Skyward STUDENT Access (this link is only in Student Access, not Parent Access – we have asked for it to be accessible to parents, but this is currently not an available option) to either pay for their exam(s) or cancel their exam. Either way, students should access this link so they may indicate their testing choice. This link should be live for families from October 7 until November 3 for credit card payments. Should families opt to pay by cash, they may do so until November 10 with Mrs. Kaylyn Taylor in the Counseling office area/College and Career Center.
FAFSA and TASFA help for Seniors
We have FAFSA and TASFA help if anyone needs assistance completing these important college financial aid forms. Take a look below at the available days coming up:
October 12: from 3:20-4:20pm in the College and Career Center
November 9: from 5-8pm in the Molly Pruitt Library at TR with San Antonio College personnel on-hand to assist.
November 16: from 3:20-420pm in the College and Career Center.
Parents and students are also welcome to make appointments by emailing ktaylo3@neisd.net
Plus, we will be visiting the senior English classes in October to get the students started on their FSA IDs. Parents will also want to create the FSA ID for themselves before coming to one of these dates to make the process faster; it takes 3 days for the ID to get verified. Here are instructions on the FSA ID as well as the FAFSA if anyone would like to work on the FAFSA at home: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1x7S8Utahmq84kFnPeuofRvxe-WBa7lDdgOQggqDzQNw/edit?usp=sharing
If you have any questions regarding FAFSA, TASFA, or FSA IDs, please contact Kaylyn Taylor at ktaylo3@neisd.net
Students are encouraged to get a step ahead for college and career preparation. Check out the opportunities offered each Tuesday in the College and Career Center.
