Officer Cline's Corner
Welcome to a new school year!
Whether you’re new or returning we are glad to see you and your student(s).
My name is Officer Charles Cline Jr. I am your campus officer. Like you, I have children going to school within our district (High School, Middle School and Elementary..my wife and I know your pain) Should you need to contact me I can be reached by simply calling the main office number at 210-397-4900 and ask for Officer Cline. It is my sincere desire that you and your student(s) have a great year!
- Did you know? Northside ISD Police Officers are state licensed (commissioned) Peace Officers. They can issue citations and arrest offenders both on and off campus. (yes, we’re real cops)
- The map shown above is how we would like the traffic to flow during morning drop off and afternoon pick up.
- Please ensure that students are dropped off on the curbside (right side or left side). We respectfully request that you DO NOT allow your student to get out between cars and move through the traffic. IT’S ALL ABOUT SAFETY FOR OUR KIDS.
- During the day please do not park in the fire lanes. (even if you’re just dropping something off) We have a parking lot that has plenty of parking.
- Please plan ahead and give yourself time. Last year it was taking approximately 45 minutes to an hour to get out of the parking lot. By the end of the year we had it down to 20 minutes. This year by day 2 we had all afternoon traffic cleared in 15 minutes! Thank you to all the drivers that were kind and patient. It works great when we all work together.
In closing, thank you for entrusting your most precious asset(s) to us. Every effort is made to ensure that OUR kids will be safe. Have a great school year and don’t be afraid to say hi, we’re here for you.
LUNCH TIME!
$$ School Cafeteria Account: My School Bucks
Lunch Drop-Off Procedures:
Lunch deliveries can only be made by the parent/guardian of the student. No Uber Eats, Door dash or similar deliveries will be permitted.
Student safety is our highest priority and delivery companies are impossible to monitor.
Please make arrangements with your child prior to the school day so they can meet you in the front foyer to receive their lunch items. If you are unable to wait for them, please leave the lunch in the front office. Label the lunch with your child's name and grade level. Students will be able to pick up their lunch once they are release from class.
