HOMEWORK

Students are expected to read for 20 minutes daily. They may log the books read in their daily log in their yellow folder. Students may also work on Imagine Math and Imagine Math Facts at home. Both of these programs are available to them through the portal!

Students will receive a Math handout every Friday and it will need to be returned the following Friday. Students are expected answer the correct answer and show their work/thinking on the other handout. Students will have one full week to finish homework and return to their teacher. Please let your child's teacher know if you have any questions.

Ride Changes (After-School Dismissal)

In the event it is necessary to make a change in your child's after-school dismissal routine, parents/guardians must submit the change IN WRITING via the new Ride Change Button on the campus website. Changes must be made before 2pm each day.

Apply for Free and Reduced-Price Meal Program

During the 2022-2023 school year, free and reduced-price meals will be provided to those who have submitted an approved application. This differs from the 2021-2022 school year, when all elementary and middle school students could receive free meals because of temporary federal funding in response to the COVID pandemic.

If you believe you qualify for the free and reduced-price meal program, applications will open on July 1, and are necessary as the federal program that allowed all elementary and middle school students to eat free will NOT carry over to the 2022-2023 school year.

Free and reduced-price meal program applications will be available online or at all NISD school front offices. Click here for instructions on how to complete a paper application if you prefer. Those who applied and were accepted into the free and reduced-price meal program last year will receive a 30-day grace period of the program. A new accepted application will be required after this time period.

Questions? Please contact Vivian Lago Matos at 817-215-0007 or Vivian.lagomatos@nisdtx.org.

Water Bottles

Please ensure that your child brings a refillable water bottle to school each day! Our water fountains remain closed for drinking. We have water bottle filling stations at each restroom that may be utilized. Thank you!

Perfect classroom water bottles = pop, flip, or snap shut lids! Screw top lids spill much more often.

Snacks

Please bring a healthy snack every day. Please make sure that your snack is not messy and does not need special utensils (such as forks, spoons, etc.)

Student Birthdays

Students are now allowed to bring to school pre-packaged snacks or small treats to celebrate birthdays. We ask that you reach out to your child's teacher two days prior to sending in birthday treats. All treats need to be store bought and a label needs to be on the package for dietary purposes. Students may not bring in birthday bags or small trinkets. If you have any questions please reach out to your child's teacher. Thank you!

For example, small packs of small cupcakes, Goldfish, Little Debbie snack cakes, and Teddy Grahams. Treats must be sent to school with your child in the morning. Thank you!!
