A Note from Mrs. Williams
Hello Schluter Families!
It was a great week at Schluter as we celebrated Valentine’s Day, cheered on our Ultimate Book Challenge team at the district competition, and kicked off our PTA Boosterthon Fundraiser!
Our PTA (Parent Teacher Association) is a wonderful organization that supports and gives back to our students, staff, and community. Please consider donating or sponsoring laps using the information in the graphics below. Your kiddos should have also come home with information as well. Our Fun Run is next week!
Also don’t forget that this Tuesday is “Twosday” and we’ll be celebrating by wearing Tutus and Ties! We would love for our students and families to join in on the fun by dressing up as well!
One final reminder is that Monday, February 21st, is a student holiday.
Have a great, safe 3-day weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Williams
Watch DOGS return!

PTA Reflections
CONGRATULATIONS to our very own 5th grader, Leila Strother! She represented our campus in the District PTA Reflections competition. She received 3rd place in the Dance Choreography division for titled A Little Bit of Love Can Make a Big Change.
A Little Bot of Love Can Make a Big Change
I can change the world by spreading love. In the song I chose, it says “little drops of rain can make a tidal wave." To me, this means the little things we do can make a big impact in people's lives. Just because your little, you can still do a lot. Loving on others can mean different things. For example, you can show random acts of kindness, encourage others, or pray for our world. Jesus wants us to love each other, and show that we care. I know I'm little but I can love BIG and change the world.

Elementary Ultimate Book Challenge a resounding success
Enrollment boom propels NISD’s expected 5-year increase to double
This fall, Northwest ISD added more than 2,200 students from the same time frame last year, which represents an 8.7% enrollment increase. That increase is expected to continue for many years to come. Demographic experts project Northwest ISD will reach an enrollment of 37,370 students in five years (2026-2027) – representing an increase of almost 10,000 students. The new projection is roughly double the previously expected increase of about 5,000 new students over five years.

Reminders of COVID procedures
Reporting COVID Results: Reporting positive COVID results helps us monitor cases at each school and inform potential close contacts. Please report any positive COVID results using this form.
Don’t Attend if Sick or Awaiting Results: If a student or staff member is exhibiting symptoms or awaiting COVID test results, please do not come to school. This helps prevent potential COVID spread, and keeping our students and staff safe and healthy is our top priority.
Testing at School: If a student or staff member begins exhibiting symptoms at school, he or she can receive a COVID test in the school nurse’s office. Consent forms for these tests are available on our COVID website. To reiterate the prior point, however, do not come to school if already sick – please seek an external testing location.
In-District Testing: A testing location is available in the parking lot of Old Texan Stadium, across the street from Northwest ISD Stadium. This program, operated by a third-party vendor, is free for a general COVID test. Information about this location is available on our website.

Free Meal Program Extended for Elementary, Middle Schools
All Northwest ISD students in elementary and middle school will continue receive free breakfast and lunch meals during the 2021-2022 school year! While students in high school will not take part in the same program, they can continue to apply for free or reduced-price meals.
Though meals are free to all elementary and middle school students, we strongly encourage families to continue to apply for the free and reduced-price meal program, as there are further benefits that can help reduce financial hardship. An accurate count of students in need also helps provide the appropriate programs at schools. Anyone who previously applied for the free or reduced-price meal program or believes they may now qualify based on their financial circumstances should still apply. This will also ensure these students receive free or reduced-cost meals for at least the first 30 days of the 2022-2023 school year.
