Jag News
Week of 4/15 - 19, 2023-24
Message from the Principal
Reminder that EOC STAAR testing continues this week. Information is being sent to students by email regarding each test day. For this week we have Biology EOC on Tuesday, 4/16, and US History EOC on Thursday, 4/18.
The first 3 week Progress Report is available in Family Access Skyward. Please be sure to keep up with assignments and attendance during this time of the year. As we go to the end of the year, attendance and keeping up with your grades is very important! There are only 3 Saturday School opportunities left to make up attendance.
Students, it is that time of year when everyone needs to consider the decisions they make and the ramifications of bad decisions. Seniors have 29 days of school left and underclassmen have 33 days left. As you finish the 23-24 school year, be careful in what you do and choices you make. We want all of our Jags to be safe and well this spring!
Please be sure to read the information below regarding semester exam exemptions and semester exam schedules. Be sure read all of the information below and continue to check your NEISD student email periodically for information.
We are looking forward to a great year for our Jags!
Sincerely,
Gary Comalander - Principal

This law includes nicotine vape pens or any components of a vaping device.
