Lieck Parent Newsletter

We are excited that the first day of school is just a couple of days away! August 11th to be exact! This is earlier than last year and we hope our kiddos are ready to return! We hope that you and the family had a restful and relaxing summer and are ready for the new school year to begin. The Lieck Elementary staff has been working hard preparing for student return and we are excited to begin. We are honored to be able to serve and support the Lieck community and we are committed to providing a high level quality education to your child. Thank you for choosing Lieck as your elementary school, the best in NISD!!

Although the safety and health of our students is in the forefront of all of our minds, our school mission states, "Every day, Lieck Lions grow through quality and meaningful experiences." Our teachers have been working through the summer months to develop plans to support our learners. Our campus efforts will focus in closing achievement gaps in both reading and math.

To support our goals in math, we are excited to continue to have the support of a part time Math Staff Development Support Teacher, Mrs. Petty. With her support we will be able to continue to develop our teachers in math through our Professional Learning Community (PLC) and in turn support overall student achievement. In the area of reading we also have a full time Literacy Leader, Ms. Trevino. She too helps teachers plan through effective teaching strategies and teacher collaboration. As part of Professional Learning Communities (PLC) teachers collaborate with one another to plan for meaningful and engaging lessons, monitor student progress and create effective plans for intervention or enrichment.

Additionally this year we will really focus on utilizing our campus wide intervention block from 8:00-8:30 where teachers will plan for targeted intervention and enrichment. "Rise and Shine" time will be Monday - Thursday and students will be working on their goals in the area of reading and math. Online research based intervention programs will be available to students throughout the year.

This year we will also delve into supporting the whole child by providing daily Social Emotional Lessons through our daily morning meetings. Our guidance counselors, Ms. Moore and Ms. Gonzales Hernandez, will provide meaningful lessons to all grade levels and are also available to meet with students in small groups and one on one as needed.

We look forward to seeing everyone at our Meet the Teacher Night that will be on Thursday, August 7th from 4:30-6:30pm. This is a come and go event where you will be able to meet the teacher, drop off your supplies and tour the campus. Additionally PTA will have a table set up to get you registered to become a PTA member and get your 2025-2026 spirit shirt!

We look forward to a great partnership with our families. Neither of us can do it alone, and we look forward to partnering in helping your child(ren) grow this school year.

Thank you for taking the time to carefully read our newsletter. We are looking forward to a GREAT year!

Ms. Jessica Garza

Parents, you are welcome to walk your child to class during the first two days of school however effective Day 3 our staff will guide your child to their classroom thereafter. You can drop off your child curbside or at the door and our staff will take over from there.

Additionally at dismissal, we highly encourage for families to remain in their vehicle at front pick-up to avoid unsafe, unnecessary crowding. For our "walk-up" parents, we will continue to use the side areas as waiting areas and we will bring your child to you.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

In alignment with House Bill 1481, we want to inform you of an updated policy regarding student personal communication devices on campus.

This school year, all student communication devices, including smartwatches, personal tablets, and cell phones, must remain in students’ backpacks or stored out of sight throughout the instructional day. These items will be placed in a designated area, such as student cubbies, upon arrival and will not be accessed until the end of the school day.

While this has been our general practice in the past, the policy now applies to all types of personal communication devices, not just cell phones.

We appreciate your support as we continue to maintain a focused and distraction-free learning environment for all students.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

-Lieck Administration

What is this?

ALL visitors must scan their ID or Driver’s License through our Raptor System upon arrival. Visitors will be issued a sticker with profile and visitor information generated by the Raptor System. Thank you for your patience and understanding as there may be long lines to enter the building. Each day will run a little smoother and faster.

Lieck FAST Pass
The Lieck FAST Pass will be available pending background check status. The FAST Pass will be valid through the end of the grading period. Parents and visitors will still need to check in every day and have the pass visible at all times. Parents must also scan their ID through our Raptor System (once per grading cycle). Parents, please fill this link out and the front office will be able to determine if you are eligible upon your visit to receive the Lieck Fast Pass.

Texas law requires all public school children to have current immunizations to attend class. Northside ISD encourages parents to have their children immunized before the first day of school.

For more information please visit https://www.nisd.net/schools/health/vaccinations

The school nurse does not diagnose illnesses but takes notes of the symptoms and notifies the parent/guardian of the observations. If a child becomes ill or injured at school, the student will be assessed and given first aid, and the parent/guardian will be notified if the severity of the injury or illness warrants such action.

Children should be kept at home when ill and are expected to be free of fever (temperature less than 100.0° F) and free of communicable diseases in order to attend school. In accordance with the Texas Administrative Code, students are required to be excluded from school until fever free for 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing medications. The Texas Department of State Health Services defines fever as a temperature of 100.0°F or greater. This is important for the health of the child and for the health of all children at the school.

The NISD Board of Trustees approved revisions to the District’s dress code policies for the 2025-2026 school year. The new policy allows for the wearing of shorts by all students (Pre-K -12) as long as the shorts are mid-thigh length or longer. As with the previous policy, the final determination of acceptable dress and grooming rests with the campus principal or his/her designee. Guidelines for the new dress and grooming policy are available in the linked file.

Northside ISD assigns students to schools according to the street address where the student resides. Our Boundaries and Buses Information System will provide you with the name and address of the schools serving your area. Just enter the student’s street number and street name to search for school assignment, bus route information, and any future Board adopted boundary changes.

For general boundary information, attendance area maps for each elementary, middle & high schools are listed on the campus sites.

The Home Access Center (HAC) allows parents to register students, complete data verification, access report cards, and track attendance.
