A Message from Your Principal
Dr. Woods in his Family letter has shared that the time to select instructonal setting (Virtual or In Person) for the Second Nine weeks will begin on September 23rd. You must complete the online questionaire at www.nisd.net by September 30th. This is for the Second Nine weeks (October 19 - Dec. 18). Families are reminded that the selection of virtual learning for the second grading period means a cmommitment to remain in that learning model for the complete grading period. You will not be able to move to In Person learning if you select virtual learning.
We will have a daytime presentation of our Annual Title 1 meeting and Q&A time on Wednesday, September 23rd 12 noon - 1pm. Our Family Engagement Chairperson, Counselor Arturo Vargas will also be present and will share some of the plans for the year. Join Zoom Meeting

8th grade Parent SSI information (and for our families with 5th graders)
Parents of 5th & 8th Grade Students:
Please see attached brochure with important information regarding the Student Success Initiative.
Please note that state promotion/retention requirements of the Student Success Initiative (SSI) have been waived for the 2020–2021 school year, so there will be only one administration of STAAR Reading and STAAR Math this year.
If your child does not meet the passing standard, additional instruction and an acceleration plan will be provided to help ensure all students are academically successful in mathematics and reading.
Promotion to the next grade level will be based on local criteria that reflect a student’s academic achievement and mastery of subject matter and will include STAAR assessment results, along with other relevant information.
Please contact your child’s teacher or counselor with any questions.
Padre/Madre de los estudiantes de 5. º a 8. º grado:
Le pedimos que por favor observe el folleto adjunto con información importante sobre la Iniciativa para el Éxito Estudiantil.
Tenga en cuenta que se han eximido los requisitos estatales de promoción/retención de la Iniciativa para el Éxito Estudiantil (SSI, por sus siglas en inglés) para el año escolar 2020-2021. Por ese motivo, este año se efectuará sólo una evaluación STAAR de Matemáticas y STAAR de Lectura.
Si su hijo/a no cumple con la calificación aprobatoria, se ofrecerá instrucción adicional y un plan de aceleración para ayudar a garantizar que todos los estudiantes alcancen el éxito académico en matemáticas y lectura.
La promoción al siguiente nivel de año se basará en los criterios locales que reflejan el logro académico del estudiante y su dominio de la materia. Además, incluirá los resultados de la evaluación STAAR junto con otra información relevante.
Por favor, comuníquese con el maestro o asesor de su hijo/a si tiene alguna pregunta.
PLEASE EMAIL OR CALL IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. OUR POLICY IS TO RETURN CALLS WITHIN 24 HOURS
