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!

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.
Creativity is the character trait for May.
May 2 is STAAR Science and May 9 STARR Math. Our campus will be closed to visitors.
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. Learn more at www.nisdtxbond.org!
If you missed the deadline to sign up for Chess Club, sign up is still open! We will meet on Mondays until 3:45! Please use this link to sign up: https://forms.gle/eoGJUXtnkbdVYcfp8
Mark your calendars! Registration for the 2023-2024 school year opens on Monday, April 17.
Enrollment is an annual requirement and doesn't roll over from the previous school year, but for returning families, the process is an easy three-step completion. The process is handled through Home Access Center via a guardian’s account, which results in previous registration information being completed.
Enrolling your child as early as possible is one way you can help your campus and the district prepare for next school year. Please visit www.nisdtx.org/enroll to learn more!
Northwest ISD will begin offering full-day pre-kindergarten to both qualifying and tuition-based students across the district with the 2023-2024 school year, and online registration begins April 17.
To be eligible for either program, a student must live within the district’s boundaries and be 4 years old by September 1, 2023. To qualify for the state-funded program, a student must fit in at least one criteria required by the state. For families of students who do not meet eligibility requirements for the state program, a tuition-based option exists with a limited number of places available.
In addition to online registration opening Monday, April 17, in-person registration assistance events will take place on three dates at the Northwest ISD administration building, located at 2001 Texan Drive in Justin. Families can visit the admin building from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. April 29, 4 to 7 p.m. May 2 or 2 to 7 p.m. July 13 for assistance.

Making plans for the summer? Northwest ISD’s athletic and fine arts camps as well as enrichment opportunities are being posted for the summer at www.nisdtx.org/summer.
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.
