Stevenson's Administration Team Message for the Week
Dear Wildcat Families,
We have officially wrapped up the first three weeks of the school year! It has been wonderful watching our students settle into their daily routines and build confidence navigating their schedules. Best of all, the hallways and lunchrooms are buzzing with new friendships—which, if you ask almost any middle schooler, is easily their favorite part of school.
With these initial routines established, our classrooms are now shifting into high gear, and academic expectations are beginning to become more rigorous. To help you track your student's growth and stay connected with their learning, our first progress reports of the year are ready.
Progress Reports: Marks will be available this Monday. You can check grades online via Home Access Center (HAC), and a printed copy will also be sent home with your student.
Parent Accounts: If you have not yet set up your online accounts for HAC (grades and attendance) or Schoology (classroom assignments and updates), you can create them anytime by visiting nisd.net/parents.
Thank you for your ongoing partnership and support in making the start of this school year so successful!
~Liz Reed
