Northpointe Newsflash
February 22 - February 25, 2022
Northpointe Intermediate School
We had a great week at NIS! Both of our Math teams provided fun and engaging lessons that students were excited about, we were able to celebrate Valentines Day, had a great 6th grade Math Field Test, enjoyed a delicious lunch provided by our PTO, and then announced our A+ Teachers and Para of the Year! In addition, our students competed and did awesome at the TISD UIL Competition that took place this past Saturday!
Enjoy this week's edition of the Northpointe Newsflash along with the four day weekend! Hopefully the weather is nice so you are all able to enjoy time outside.
This week we will be focusing on the Great Expectations Life Principle of Patriotism: love for or devotion to one's country. Below is a guide for you to discuss Patriotism with your student at home this week:
- Do you know someone who has served, or is serving in the military? How did they show patriotism?
- How can you show patriotism each day at school?

Be Present for your Future
Attendance Matters: Consistent attendance and being on time is one of the keys to academic success.
Documentation after an Absence
When a student is absent from school, the student—upon arrival or return to school—must bring a doctor note or note signed by the parent that describes the reason for the absence. The note must be turned in within 3 days of the student’s return to school.
If absences become excessive, the student may be required to submit a doctor’s note verifying illness for the absences to be excused.
The campus will document in its attendance records whether the absence is excused or unexcused.
Students please bring your notes to the front office upon your return to school.
