Welcome Back

August 4, 2026

Dear Warrior Families,

Welcome to another exciting year at Warren and CCA! Whether you're a returning Warrior family or joining us for the first time, we're so glad you're here.

The start of a new school year always brings a sense of excitement and possibility. It's a chance for students to set new goals, discover new interests, build friendships, and create memories that will last a lifetime. We are honored to be part of that journey with you.

One of the things that makes Warren so special is our community. The partnerships we build with our families make a tremendous difference in the success of our students. We encourage you to stay connected, attend school events, celebrate your child's accomplishments, and reach out whenever you have questions or need support. We are better when we work together.

As we begin this new school year, our focus remains on creating a school where every Warrior feels a sense of belonging and takes pride in their accomplishments.

Thank you for your trust, your partnership, and your support of Warren and CCA. I can't wait to see all that our students accomplish this year. Here's to a wonderful year of learning, growth, and celebrating what it means to be a Warrior!

GO WARRIORS!

Melissa Hurst

Principal

When your child arrives on campus, they will find their name and first period class on lists posted in the foyer and cafeteria. Teachers will also have access to the lists and will be able to assist in directing students to their 1st period. Please note that schedules received previously, including at Prep Days, may have changed. Students' official first day schedule will be the one their first period teacher provides them. If your student has any issues finding their name or 1st period class, there will be an abundance of staff available to help.

Home Access Center (HAC) will be open for students/parents to view on August 6th after 4 pm! Here you are also able to access your child's grades, attendance, and set alerts. HAC instructions are listed below under Useful Links. Please note, that schedules may change between now and August 10th.

School starts promptly at 9:00 AM and ends at 4:20 PM. Please be sure your child arrives prior to 9:00 AM to avoid tardies and/or absences to class. The bell schedule is below for your reference. See below for important information about the state law regarding attendance.

Personal communication devices include cell phones, smart watches, earbuds, tablets, or any other similar electronic items.

Students without a backpack will be required to place their device(s) into an identified storage container in the classroom.

Students are assigned 1 lunch period and must only attend their assigned designated lunch period. Students in grades 9th & 10th are to remain on campus at all times, unless signed out by a parent/guardian.

Off-Campus lunch

Only students who are classified Juniors and Seniors are eligible to go off-campus for lunch. These students must fill out an off-campus lunch form and be granted an off-campus lunch sticker that must be displayed on their ID. Students will only be able to receive this sticker if they have met the requirements on the off-campus application. This privilege can be revoked at any time if the student goes over their allowable attendance or due to behavioral concerns.

👉Students must turn in a new form and obtain a new sticker in January for the second semester.

Deliveries to the Campus

As per NISD policy, deliveries of any kind to the campus are not permitted and will not be accepted. This includes food deliveries. No refunds will be given, as deliveries will not be accepted.

Starting this year, Senior students who are looking to have an off-block period MUST have earned a CCMR point prior to being allowed to have an off-block period.

Also, starting this year, Juniors and Seniors who are wishing to have off-campus lunch MUST be on track to achieve CCMR by being enrolled in a course that earns CCMR status and taking the correlating exam (if applicable) and/or on track to complete a CTE pathway and correlating Industry-Based-Certification.

A campus and district initiative is for all students to be CCMR ready when they graduate high school. Their are many ways for students to earn their CCMR point and be considered CCMR ready.

A student can earn their CCMR by:

• Successfully attaining the required score on the TSIA 2 exam
• Earning a 3 or higher on a College Board AP Exam
• Earning the qualifying number of Dual Credit hours
• Qualifying for 3 or more On Ramps Credit hours
• Being a CTE Program of Study Completer and earning the aligned Industry Based Certification (IBC)
• Enlisting in the Military after graduation

We ask that you and your child review the attached documents regarding CCMR.

Safety is our number one priority. Students will be trained on campus safety and security within the first weeks of school. Please visit the NISD Safety page for detailed information and how you can contribute to the overall safety of our district and school.

NISD has a 24/7 anonymous tip line where parents or students can report any threats or concerns. SAFELINE: call/text 210-397-7233 or email safe@nisd.net. District staff and NISD police take all reports seriously and investigate thoroughly.

We love seeing our parents and community at all of our athletic events. We want to remind spectators to cheer on our students and teams in a positive way. We also want to remind everyone that Texas Senate Bill 2929, which was passed during the summer of 2025, added a new provision that allows officials to remove a spectator without any previous verbal warning.
