Students failing all four core contents will be retained in their current grade. Please contact me if you have any questions about your student so we can work together!

Free meals for children 18 years and under
Northside ISD knows that hunger doesn’t take a break during the summer months, so the District is providing free breakfast and lunch to children 18 years and younger at 59 participating schools during the summer.
Meals will be served in-cafeteria setting as we transition to a traditional style of meal service. Children who are 18 years and younger may eat in the cafeteria regardless if they attend NISD schools or live in the District. Grab-n-Go Meals will also be available for children not eating in the cafeteria. (No curbside service is available.)
Dates, times, and additional details can be found here.

Pizza Kits will be delivered directly to your/their home by FedEx, so send the link to your out of state family and friends, too. You can even post our link on your social media pages.
