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!

Giving Opportunities to Support Students
Memorial Scholarship
We all miss our sweet Ms. Rena Garrett! Ms. Rena was our lead campus assistant, who we lost last year. We all knew Ms. Rena as our “campus mom.” She loved us and took care of us all unconditionally.
Staff members felt very passionate about doing something that would honor her and NEF helped us to create a lifetime memorial scholarship for a NISD senior.
If you feel led to donate, here is the link for the donation page: https://nef.networkforgood.com/projects/153104-rena-garrett-memorial-scholarship
Our goal is $5000. Your donation would be greatly appreciated.
Honoring Lunch Account
We are pleased to announce
The Rena Garrett Honoring Lunch Account has been created. Rena always made sure every kid had a lunch to eat so this is a great way for her legacy to continue.
Students who do not have enough money in their account to purchase a lunch will be able to use this account to buy a lunch.
I know many of you expressed an interest in helping with this scholarship. If you would like to donate to the account, please make check payable to Aramark or send cash to the school. Please reference “Rena Garret” or put account number 1091063 on the check.
For the safety of our students, staff and families, all guests attending our Thanksgiving Lunch on Nov. 10 must be checked in. Please RSVP each family member attending by Nov. 8 to expedite a quicker check in process. Those who do not RSVP will result in a delay in joining your student during their designated lunch. Regardless of whether you RSVP’d for lunch or bringing your own lunch, we need the names of all guests so that we can have badges ready. If guests have not been raptured in our system, they will need to check in at the office.
Thank you for your help and look forward to you dining with us!

If your child is in choir, you should have already received an email from Mr. Bradley with a sign up genius to watch the choir performance.

Visitors at Lunch: 2nd Nine-Week
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.
