Anson Jones Middle School

Cougar Community,

Here comes August and the beginning of a new school year. Throughout the summer, our Admin team has been reviewing data, and we have found that Jones MS students have achieved a 6% growth in STAAR and EOC Scores. This is a testament to the AMAZING work from our students and teachers. I would to thank all of our Jones MS parents and guardians for their dedication to ensuring our students meet their goals. It takes all of our efforts to make all of this success possible.

WE are the PRIDE OF PINN RD

We are looking forward to an exciting year and continuing our success by reaching new goals for our new year.

In closing, our teachers, staff and administrators are ALL IN for OUR students, and we appreciate the AWESOME students you have sent to us. Your help and support is critical in the success of all of our students. Also, please consider joining the AJMS PTA to continue to help out our community.

• If your student is needing immunizations, please contact our school nurse at 210-397-2100.
• For the 2026-2027 academic year, Parent/ Guardian written health excuses may only be -accepted until the fifth absence of the year. Upon the student’s sixth health related absence, a doctor’s note must be provided.

The City of San Antonio has been working hard on providing our community with a shared use pathway sidewalk on Pinn Rd. It will be an ongoing project throughout the beginning of our year, so please be patient with the various lane and sidewalk closures.

It is important for students to use the crosswalks in front of the school.

Please review the AJMS Dress Code Policy for the 2026-2027 Academic Year.

We are very honored to be working with your child in NISD this year! In preparing for the 2026-27 school year, NISD needs to verify student information for all currently enrolled students by June 1, 2026 to ensure that your child has a space at their current or home campus. If a Returning Student Registration form is submitted after June 1, 2026, it is possible that your child could be sent to another campus if classes become full. During this time, your child’s registration takes priority.

Here’s how to begin:

Go to the NISD Home Access Center (HAC) website https://hac.nisd.net/

Follow the steps below:

If you already have a HAC account:

1) Your LOGIN is the email address to which the message was sent.

2) Your PASSWORD is the same HAC password that you have previously used.

3) After logging in, click on the REGISTRATION tab.

4) Click on Update Enrollment tab

5) Click START

6) The first time you log in you will be asked to certify that you are over 13 years old. You will then enter your student’s birthday to validate the registration account.

7) You will be asked if the student is returning to NISD for the 2026-27 school year. If your child will be returning to ANY NISD school next year, select YES. If your child will NOT be returning to ANY NISD school, select NO and follow the question prompt.

8) Click NEXT.

9) Review your child’s information and update as needed. Click SUBMIT to complete the registration process for your child.

10) If you have multiple students, click on the CHANGE STUDENT icon on the far right of your student’s name in HAC, select another student and follow the same steps above. Review data and complete the registration process for each student.

If you have any trouble accessing HAC or you do not see one of your children, please contact the school office and ask to speak with the Attendance Secretary as they may be able to assist you with this process. If the campus is not able to resolve your issue, please complete the form using the link below and District staff can reset your password or link students in a family if necessary.
