The tardy bell rings at 7:40 am. and staff close the doors to start class. Students need to arrive BEFORE 7:40 am. to safely access the back doors of the school. If a car rider arrives after the doors are closed, please drive your child to the front entrance of the school and walk them up to the doors to ring the bell so that he/she can come through the office for a Tardy Pass. Thank you!
Do you feel like you’re getting too many texts or emails from ParentSquare? Just want notifications in the ParentSquare app? Change your communications preference to meet how you want to receive messages!
Families in Northwest ISD have full control of how they receive ParentSquare messages. To change your settings, sign in on the ParentSquare website and hover over your profile’s name in the top right corner to select “My Account.” From there, click “Notification Settings” on the left sidebar and turn on or off any message format (email, text and app) and whether you receive notifications instantly or each evening (in the “digest” option).
Parents please use the ride change form link to communicate your child's ride change by 2:00 pm. We will not release students without confirmation from parents regarding ride changes
If you are picking your student up early for an appointment, 2:30pm is the latest we will be able to release students.
Setting your preferred language in ParentSquare:
Did you know ParentSquare provides families with the ability to set their preferred language? If the primary language in your household is not English, you can change the settings to receive all ParentSquare communication (include messages, emails, texts and more) to whatever language you prefer. This provides machine-translated posts and messages requiring no work on either you or your campus! Read how to change this setting in this how-to article.
The April character trait is courage.
As the fastest-growing school district in North Texas, Northwest ISD has added an average of 1,200 students per year for two decades. During the 2021-2022 school year, Northwest ISD added more than 2,500 students. To keep pace with growth, the 2023 bond referendum would provide space for 8,400 students in the coming years.

Visitors at Lunch: 4th Nine-Weeks
Due to limited space, we will be limiting the number of guest allowed per grade level lunch. Only those who have signed up on the sign up genus link will be able to eat lunch with their child. All visitors will need to check in with the office using their valid driver's license or government issued ID.
We have tables set up outside the cafeteria in the hallway designated for lunch visitors. Only you and your child will be able eat at the parent/student tables. No friends allowed. Lunch guests will need to bring their own lunch.
When your child's lunch time is over, visitors will need to come directly to the office and check out. For safety and security reasons, parents cannot follow students to their classroom or the playground.
In order for all parents to have the opportunity to eat lunch with their child, you may sign up for only 2 slots per student per grading period.
There are some dates that will be blocked for lunch sign ups due to events or changes in schedules.
Pre-K, ECSE and PACEE reach out to your child's teacher to schedule.
