As we approach the week before Thanksgiving, I would like to say how thankful I am for the students, staff, and Allen community. This bulletin contains many district and campus updates so please take a moment to review the information thoroughly.
I would like to wish you and your family a very restful, safe, and healthy Thanksgiving holiday.
Peace, Love, Eagles,

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Travel Guidelines Issued
In NISD, students or staff who travel internationally (includes Mexico) are required to quarantine for a period of 14 days upon their return. An individual may also complete a COVID-19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test upon return from international travel and if the result is negative, they may return to school/work prior to the 14 days.
Students who are quarantined may continue their learning through asynchronous, or virtual, means. Currently, there are no restrictions on domestic travel, however, all domestic travelers are reminded that even though you may not have specific COVID symptoms, you could still be contagious to others. Be mindful of any COVID-related symptoms and report these to your health provider as soon as possible.
Third Grading Period Selection Survey Opens Soon!
Northside families will be asked to complete a survey beginning Nov. 16 to indicate which learning model they choose for the third grading period or third quarter (Jan. 4-March 19). As with both previous surveys, the two options for students include in-person or virtual learning. An email containing the link to the survey will be sent to parents the morning of Nov. 16 and families will have until Nov. 29 to make their selection. All families will need to make a selection using the survey including those who wish to remain in their current learning model. For more information regarding the learning models, including a side-by-side comparison, visit our Back.Together.Better website. The link to the survey can also be found there starting Nov. 16.
Update on Daily Attendance Calls
Progress Reports: November 20, 2020
Deadline to Submit Missing Assignments: Friday, December 4th
Mindful Mondays
Mindful Monday will be changing to ensure all students and staff are able to view the videos! Instead of tuning into ZOOM for a live session, you will watch the video during your Monday Morning Meeting with your class! Just tune into your teacher's ZOOM link and the video will be shared there. I hope you enjoy it :)
