A Message from your Principal
Enrichment Clubs for before and after school continue to join our calendar. The only requirement is that students need to communicate with their families if they are attending a club meeting so that transportation home is preplanned prior to the meetings. If students are not picked up in a timely manner they will be asked not to attend future club meetings.
Please watch our Zachry community calendar click here for events and locations throughout
the year!
Look below for two events that will be happening at our feeder High Schools. Taft will have a Little Dancers Clinic and Warren HS is having a Trunk or Treat. Middle School is a short transition from elementary to High School so take advantage of these opportunities to see what is coming in the Hight School experience!
We are in need of a treasurer for our PTSA, and a few more parent/guardian members for our School Advisory Team. Our next SAT meeting will be November 15th 5:15-6pm in our school library. Please call me at 210-397-7410 if you can help our students with your time!
Construction on the upgrades of our Football field are moving along - it will be so nice to play at home again in the spring for soccer.
Tuesday, October 12th our 7th grade football team will play against Ross MS at Soccer Field #1 at Gus Stadium on Culebra and 410. 4:30-7 pm.
Wednesday, October 13th 8th graders will play at Ross MS 4:30-7 pm.
Thursday, October 14th Volleyball vs. Ross MS. 7th grade will play at home and 8th at Ross MS. Please remember, due to seating shortages, A team familes will leave at the end of their games to make room for the B team famiies. Students may only attend with their parent/guardian.
Remember to put our October Fall Festival on your family's schedule for October 30th. See the information below.

Parents/Guardians, It is very important to regularly use your Home Access Center. Please use the PDF below for guidance on accessing the Home Access Center - there are additional items in the Family Home Access Center in comparison to the Student Access Center.
Does your child need internet access at home?
Northside ISD has partnered with TEA Connect Texas (TEACT) to provide eligible families access to free, filtered internet service at home.
Monthly home-based, high-speed broadband internet service will be available at no cost on a first come, first served basis. To be eligible, families must currently lack adequate home internet service.
The goal is to address the “Homework Gap” and provide students internet access outside of school hours. This is along with the District’s one-to-one device initiative which provides laptops and Chromebooks to all students.
To get started, visit the TEA Connect Texas website. Families will need to provide their child’s student ID number, phone number, email address, and home address.
Hard copy forms will be available in each NISD school office for families who need assistance completing and submitting.
Once eligibility is determined, TEACT will work as a liaison between families and internet service providers to schedule installation.
TEACT is a Texas Education Agency initiative to support school districts. For more information or questions about the program, visit the TEACT website.
