Roadrunner Report

Dear Roadrunner families,

As we head into fall, our school calendar gets somewhat busier. Be sure to scroll all through this newsletter as we have upcoming events through November advertised, too. Included are button links to our Counselor's and Librarian's newsletters.

With the cooler months ahead, we also hit cold and flu season. District policy is that students can come to school as long as they are fever free (without medication) for 24 hours. Our nurse cannot administer medication unless she has written doctor's orders. Over the counter medication of any kind is not allowed at school.

Remember to LABEL your child's sweaters, jackets and coats so they can be returned. 👚🧤🧣🧥

Northside ISD is required to collect student data (TEC 39 for Texas state requirements and ESEA sections 1111 and 1116 for U.S. Department of Education requirements) to determine the disbursement of state federal funds (ESEA section 1113). This information will be used by Northside departments to help evaluate, fund, or determine programs that may benefit your child. Programs that benefit individual students who qualify may include: grants, scholarships, Summer School tuition, testing fee waivers, financial assistance with health services and/or other government support services.

Please make sure you allow district and school communication through email and phone. This is another way (along with this newsletter) that you will receive important information from the district and our campus. You can do this when you're in the Home Access Center (update enrollment or when you create your login) by making sure you have NOT selected "not receive".

The district is automatically sending Attendance Warning Notices for students with 3 or more UNEXCUSED absences within a 4 week period. Parents have 2 days (from the last absence) to submit an excuse note for their childs absence. We accept up to 6 parent written notes to excuse an absence. After these 6, a doctor's note is required to excuse the absence.

Students have the opportunity to earn a Learner Profile Badge to wear for the day by exhibiting one of these characteristics. They can also be selected by their teacher and class as the Characteristic of the Month (pictures at school entrance). If a student earns a badge or is selected as the representative for the month, they get a brag tag to add to their collection on their brag tag necklace. Teachers use this vocabulary on a daily basis in the classroom. You can integrate this into your daily lives at home, too.
