Northpointe Intermediate School
Every week is a great week at NIS, but we ended this one with a fun celebration at lunch on Friday! Huge shoutout to everyone who assisted in our PTO Fall Fundraiser and helped us reach out goal of $10,000! The students loved having a DJ at lunch!
This week we will be focusing on the Great Expectations Life Principle of Cooperation: working together. Below is a guide for discussing what cooperation means with your student this week.
- Cooperation means working with others to get something done. Share a time that you worked as part of a team to accomplish a goal.
- What qualities make someone a good teammate?
- When we are at school our classmates are our teammates and we have to work together to achieve our goals. What is one thing that we can do to help our classmates be successful at home?
Also, don't forget this Thursday, October 21st, is Pink Out Day! We look forward to seeing everyone wear pink for Breast Cancer Awareness.

October’s National Bullying Prevention Month reminds us that students, parents, teachers, and school administrators all play a role. Positive change comes as we begin to emphasize respect and inclusion at Northpointe Intermediate.
What is Bullying? – In 2014, the Centers for Disease Control and Department of Education released the first federal definition of bullying. This definition helps determine whether an incident is bullying or another type of aggressive behavior or both.
Bullying Prevention Flyer - Created by Mental Health America of Greater Houston as a listing of local and web-based resources to prevent and treat bullying for all ages.

Car Rider Line Reminders
Thank you all for your patience and flexibility as we have worked through car rider line logistics! Please remember that when you exit the car rider line, you can not turn left. You must turn right onto Northpointe Blvd. If you turn left, it becomes a safety hazard and can also impede the flow of traffic exiting and entering the car rider line. We appreciate your help with this!
Reminder: Student Dress Code
- All students must wear clothing that adequately covers the body. Shorts and/or skirts must reach the mid-thigh. Spaghetti straps, strapless, backless, see-through and low-cut tops are not allowed. Tops must cover the midriff.
- Student hair must be that of natural color. Students that need to address this particular portion can meet with their Assistant Principal to discuss a solution and timeline.
All dress code policies can be found in the TISD Student Handbook linked HERE.
Northpointe Reminders
Tardies will begin after Labor Day so we can continue to work through morning drop-off and ensure all students are in the building in time.
