APEX Virtual is Coming!!!!
Our major fundraiser with Apex Leadership Co. is coming from March 16 to March 25! We’re going Virtual so ALL students can continue to participate. Apex is a local company that promotes leadership habits, good character, and combines a fitness-focused event to help our school raise money. Our students will be challenged to get pledges for the fitness moves they will complete on the Virtual Event Day. Funds raised from this event will go towards Intervention Materials for all grade levels. Some of our families may not be able to donate, and that’s OK! If you can, no donation is too small. More information about the Apex program is to come. #ApexLeadershipCo #ApexVirtualSA #ApexMIGHTYSA @ApexFunRunSA
Please continue to be aware of social distancing
Many students, especially the young ones, are mentioning to their teachers the events of the weekend. They share that they are attending birthday parties, going to sleepovers, and meeting friends and family all unmasked. This is extremely dangerous right now. All the precautions we are taking at school won't help if children are not being safe at home. Please refrain from allowing your children to attend such events. Remember to wear your masks and keep social distancing. The precautions will keep us ALL safe at school AND at home.
ONLINE means On Camera
NISD is asking for parents/guardians to help reinforce a very important message for their children: when participating in virtual instruction, all students should be fully engaged and have their video cameras turned on. Teachers will be sharing this same request with students.
In order to maximize the experience that students have in their online classes, it is important that they actively participate, and the first step is to have their camera turned on. Doing so allows teachers to better monitor a student’s level of engagement, as well as their level of understanding.
If your child’s device does not have a video camera or if it is not working, please reach out to their school for assistance in securing a district device.
Child Nutrition Info
Child Nutrition Services continues to offer free meals to all students (18 years old and younger) whether they are in-person or virtual learners. This includes free breakfast and lunch to all NISD students, free “Grab-n-Go” curbside meals for any child 18 years and younger at any of 51 approved campuses (regardless if enrolled in NISD or not), and free supper program at 56 approved campuses with enrichment programs. The free meals program runs until June 30.

2021 - 2022 School Calendar
The NISD Board of Trustees approved the District calendar for the 2021-2022 school year. Northside ISD traditionally approves school calendars two years ahead to provide parents and students ample lead time. Given the COVID disruption along with significant changes to instructional delivery that necessitated changing the current year calendar, the typical two-year lead time couldn't be accomplished.
Multiple options for the calendar were shared and discussed with Cabinet, the Northside Educational Improvement Council (NEIC), and the Academics Committee of the Board.
Teacher planning dates/early dismissal dates will be added later. Click here to view the calendar.
