The 2025-26 school year is right around the corner, and this year’s Backpack Bash is coming to NHE on Thursday, August 7, from 5:00 pm-6:00 pm in the NHE Gym
This annual event provides school supplies, enrollment support, and other resources, while connecting RISD families to programs and services in a festive back-to-school atmosphere. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to start the school year confidently with all the tools they need to succeed.
We are so grateful for the many sponsors and donors who have provided the resources and volunteers to help us provide backpacks and school supplies.
*Please use the gym entrance for this event*

Richardson ISD is required to collect and report the socioeconomic status of each student to the Texas Education Agency for purposes of annual state accountability ratings and for federal reporting tied to federal funding. Parents of enrolled students are requested to complete this form for that purpose. The income information requested on this form is completely confidential; it is not shared with any entity outside of RISD, and is solely used to determine the socioeconomic status of RISD students. Only a student’s potential economically disadvantaged status, as determined by the information provided on this form, is reported to the Texas Education Agency, and TEA maintains that information as confidential. RISD practices are in accordance with the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA). Additional information regarding PPRA can be found in the RISD Student And Parent Guidebook.
It is very important that RISD families complete this Household Family Data in order for RISD schools to receive Title I and State Compensatory Education funding. If eligible, this funding directly benefits your child's school through additional employees and resources like tutoring services, additional technology, and professional training for teachers at your child’s school. RISD wants to continue to provide these important learning supports at our eligible schools, but that is dependent on parent/guardian assistance through completion of this form.
