Inspiring Tomorrow's Innovators, Today!
November 1, 2020
Notes from our Director
Hello DATA community,
It's November and Fall weather is here! Be sure to join in with the virtual college week. Details are pictured below. There will be lots of great information to support future steps. This week will be our homecoming week with spirit days and a homecoming game to cap off the week. There will NOT be a homecoming dance at this time.
Tuesday, November 3 is Election Day, as well as a school holiday for both students and employees. While schools will be closed for classes, nearly half of the NEISD facilities will be open for voting. Having the campuses closed allows for us to keep students and staff safe from the outside visitors as well as make parking spaces available for voters.
After reviewing grades from the first nine weeks, many teachers are reaching out with some recovery efforts to help students make some gains. In addition, I will be sending out probationary status notices this week as we want to support as well as hold our students to high standards. We encourage all students to continue to join their teachers for blended learning and tutoring during the 9 - 9:50am and 3:30 - 4:30pm times. Thank you for ensuring that all students are completing daily assignments for all classes.
Thank you to everyone who has already ordered their yard sign for this year. The custom signs that have been ordered should arrive this week and the other signs are already in. Contacts are being made to get them distributed to all who ordered them. It is not too late, you can still order a sign and support the DATA Alliance.
If you are a DATA student and still have not picked up your new DATA t-shirt, please be sure to reach out Ms. Tiller, atille2@neisd.net to schedule a time to pick yours up. If you are on campus, be sure to stop by the DATA office and get yours. We will continue to make Thursday our DATA shirt day. Thanks to all who wore your DATA shirt again this past week.
Thank you for reviewing the many details included below and please continue to stay safe. If you have specific questions, please feel free to reach out.
Stay well,
Lori Murach
PSAT for 9th and 10th graders plus another chance for 11th graders
On January 26, 2021, there will be an opportunity for every 9th and 10th grader to take the PSAT on campus at 10am. This is a paper and pencil test, there is no online version currently. It is very important that all 9th and 10th graders who are interested in taking the PSAT be sure to sign up on the Google Form from November 1-13, 2020. This is a "real numbers" order so that means we will only order enough tests based on who signed up on the Google Form. The form will open at 8am on November 1 and close at 11:59pm on November 13. All 9th and 10th graders must use this form: https://forms.gle/MuTMxYqcrAumKc7G6.
In addition, any 11th grader who did not take the PSAT on October 29, can make it up on this date as well. Please do not sign up if you took it on October 29, we will have to remove anyone from the order who took it already this school year. The 11th graders wishing to make up the test will also need to make sure they sign up between November 1st-November 13th so we can order enough materials. The form will open from 8am November 1st and close at 11:59pm on Nov. 13th. They will need to sign up on this form: https://forms.gle/GY2RdA1Sf8cgWuFT8
Please remember to use your grade level that is listed in Skyward for reference. You must be logged into the student's NEISD/school account to sign up, not a private email such as Gmail or Yahoo. You can only fill out the form once. If there was a mistake on your form, please email ktaylo3@neisd.net.

Here is a link to the Community Service Form that you can submit to Ms. Tiller to keep track of your hours. Be sure to keep filling up the page before submitting. You don't need to submit the sheet with just one entry each time. You can also log your hours in the Skyward system under the Volunteer Tile and then just take a "snapshot" or print out of those accumulated hours and send those to Ms. Tiller. atille2@neisd.net
