Warrior Families

May 1, 2026

Hello Warrior Families,

As we head into next week, we are excited to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week at Warren and CCA! Our teachers work tirelessly each day to support, encourage, and inspire our students, and we look forward to recognizing the incredible difference they make in the lives of our Warriors.

We have several fun activities planned throughout the week, including raffles and special treats for staff. If you or your business would like to contribute a raffle item or donation, we would greatly appreciate your support. Donations can be dropped off at the front office during school hours.

Not able to donate? No problem at all! One of the most meaningful gifts a teacher can receive is a kind note of appreciation. I encourage you to take a moment next week to send an email or message to your child’s teachers and let them know the impact they’ve made.

Thank you for always supporting our staff and community. We truly appreciate our Warrior families!

Melissa Hurst

Principal

As we begin the Spring Semester, we also begin the start of Spring Exam Exemption Criteria. Student attendance criteria will begin and students cannot have more than 3 absences to qualify for exam exemptions. The criteria for exemptions is listed below.

Exemptions:

A student enrolled in courses earning high school credit (full-year or semester) may be exempt from the spring semester exam if the following criteria are met:

1. For the Spring semester, the student has three (3) or fewer absences, excluding school business absences;
2. The student's final average for the spring semester is 80 or higher;
3. The student's conduct grade in that class is satisfactory or better; and
4. The student is in attendance during the scheduled exam time.

A student who is eligible for exemption may take the exam if desired.

*Attendance Recovery is designated for credit earning purposes, not exam exemption status*

Sophomore Parents,

We are opening up Parking Permits privileges to current Sophomores. Traditionally, parking permits are only allowed for Juniors and Seniors but this year we do have additional permits.

If your sophomore has a need to drive to campus, please have them turn in the two attached forms to the APO and purchase a parking permit for $20. Additionally your student will have to bring and present their Drivers License and Insurance Card with their name listed as an additional driver.

If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Ramos at michael.ramos@nisd.net.

Please make sure to select Warren when you are registering.

Congratulations to our baseball team on their successful season. We wish them all the best in their playoff run.

The Spirit group had their banquet this past Wednesday.

This is the second year of the NISD Student Ambassadors program, which brings together a select group of students, chosen through a rigorous application process, to serve as the "Face and Voice of the District." Facilitated by the Communications Dept., these ambassadors assisted with public relations and communications, representing NISD at school and community events while working alongside NISD Board members and the District’s executive leadership team. Ambassadors gained valuable leadership experience, enhanced communication skills, and positively promoted NISD by engaging with students, families, staff, and the broader community. Two of our very own, Ana Lopez and Sofia Garcia-Nunez were a part of that group.

This year, we received more than 120 applications for just 32 positions—making this a highly competitive process. Another Warren Warrior, Louis Ramirez, is among an elite group of student leaders selected to represent NISD.

Students raised $1787 for the American Heart Association. 14 seniors finished the missions and received graduation cords to wear on graduation. There is still time for this year's seniors to apply for scholarships. The deadline is May 29.

Seniors who completed the missions received a cord they can wear at graduation.

There is currently a vacancy on the San Antonio Youth Commission for District 6. The councilman would love if 9th and 10th graders applied.

The commission is a great way for students to advise the City Council on issues that matter to youth and ensure our City programs are aligned with addressing such needs. More info can be found on the flyer or with the following link: https://www.sanantonio.gov/humanservices/about/boardscommission/SAYC#279593750-become-member. We’d prefer a student that lives in the district, but we can verify that on our end through the application.

WHS is piloting a new Visitor Management System in efforts to increase our safety measures. This new system mirrors the Raptor System and allows us to better screen visitors to our campus. The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority.

When visiting the campus, please make sure you have a valid ID with you. It will need to be scanned.

Thank you in advance for your understanding and support in enhancing the safety protocols in our schools.

Dear Parent/Guardian,

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.

Once again, we want to stress the importance of verifying your student's information by June 1, 2026.

For more than 75 years, Northside ISD has been the premier choice for families across our community, guided by a commitment to Excellence Without Boundaries. At Warren HS, that legacy comes to life every day through dedicated educators, engaging instruction, and a supportive school culture. As part of the fourth-largest school district in Texas, our students benefit from access to high-quality programs and resources—regardless of background or zip code—while still enjoying the close-knit feel of a neighborhood school.

The city of San Antonio has begun a road construction project on Military Dr. (Sequoia Height to East of Reed Rd.). If you have not been made aware, here is some additional information to help with planning your commute to and from school. Also, towards the end of the project, access to the student parking lot may be impacted. We will communicate any detour plans as we get closer to that phase. Please see the document below for more detailed information.

Thank you in advance for your patience and we appreciate your continued cautious driving, especially during the phase of construction.

*Update:

• 1. Reed Road Closure

  • As early as March 30, 2026, J3 Company will start work on Reed Rd, with full road closure between Military Dr. and Slippery Rock. This project involves the demolition of sidewalks and curbs, road excavation, and construction of new curbs, sidewalks, and median improvements. Work will continue through May 2026.
  • Slippery Rock will maintain access at all times.
  • Detour routes will be established to facilitate traffic during construction.

  2. Terraces at the Reserve Subdivision Access Closure

  • On Saturday, April 4, 2026 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. J3 Company will close the Richland Hills Drive entrance to the Terraces at the Reserve subdivision for underground drainage improvements. Access to the community via Sequoia Heights will remain open at all times
  • Note: Scheduled intersection work has been adjusted due to weather conditions.

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), requires each State education agency to prepare and publish an annual report card with state, district and campus level data. The Federal Report Cards for 2024-2025 are now available here: https://tea.texas.gov/texas-schools/accountability/academic-accountability/performance-reporting/federal-report-cards. Please contact the school office if you'd like a printed copy.

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 this past Summer, added a new provision that allows officials to remove a spectator without any previous verbal warning.

Student ID cards at the secondary level will be REQUIRED for safety purposes. High School students will be required to wear their ID and have it easily visible at all times while on campus. Warren/CCA ID cards are property of NISD and shall be presented upon request. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action. Students who receive 10 temporary IDs will be assigned ISS.

New WHS/CCA students will receive the first card issued free of charge. Additional ID cards will be available for a $5.00 fee. Students needing an ID can come by the Admin Office, A105, before or after school to obtain a school ID.

IDs are required to enter any building whose doors are locked throughout the day.

Only Juniors/Seniors who are eligible for off-campus lunch must have the appropriate sticker displayed on their student ID and present to school personnel prior to leaving campus.

Only Juniors and Seniors are eligible to park on campus and student vehicles must have a parking permit. To be issued a valid parking permit students will need the following: a valid driver's license, proof of insurance as a covered driver on the vehicle, completion of the vehicle information sheet, along with a $20 fee. Students must also only park in designated student parking locations. Tickets, booting, and towing may occur.

Parking at Wal-Mart is not allowed and could result in your vehicle being towed.

If parking in the surrounding neighborhoods please be courteous and follow all city laws. Do not block driveways, fire hydrants, trash cans, mailboxes, handicap ramps, or other areas that would cause an obstruction.

Off-Campus lunch

Only students who are Juniors and Seniors are permitted 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.

Starting next 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 next 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.

We are sharing this information now so students and parents can plan their course selections accordingly to earn their CCMR point should they not have it already.

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.

In compliance with HB 1481: Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs) are prohibited during the school day. In an effort to maintain academic learning time and eliminate distractions, students will not have access to their PED’s during the school day, including passing periods and lunch. Devices (cell phones, smartwatches, earphones, etc.) will need to be powered off and left in the students backpack. Students without backpacks will be asked to turn in their devices to be placed in an appropriate storage container in each classroom. Students are encouraged to leave all PED’s at home. All students are issued a district Chromebook. Chromebooks should be used for academic purposes only. Students are not permitted to use the Chromebook to search or distribute inappropriate content. Chats and emails should only be sent to further one’s pursuit of academic success. Students are not permitted to spam groups, NISD organizations, or peers with non-essential information using NISD technology devices. Violators are subject to consequences, including confiscation of the property. If the use of the device during non-instructional time causes a disruption or is used for any purpose deemed inappropriate by the Administration, disciplinary action will be taken. The Bark Alert System monitors all student communication through NISD technology devices. If the use of the device during non-instructional time causes a disruption or is used for any purpose deemed inappropriate by the administration disciplinary action will be taken.
