The tardy bell rings at 7:40 am. and staff close the doors to start class. Students need to arrive BEFORE 7:40 am. If a back 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.

Members of the Northwest ISD community who are interested in learning about earning their teaching certification are invited to take part in an informational event on Wednesday, October 18. RSVP is required.
The event, part of Northwest ISD’s Grow Our Home program to train those interested in becoming teachers, will last from 5 to 7 p.m. During that time, attendees will hear from district principals, receive resume help, and learn tips/tricks to land a job teaching. The event is open to both those who already have a degree and are looking to add a teaching certification, as well as those who want to earn both a degree and teaching certification.
Please fill out this Google Form to RSVP for the event, which will take place at the district's Legacy Learning Center, located at 501 School House Road in Haslet.
For more information about the program, please email Kim Barker, assistant superintendent for human resources, at kbarker@nisdtx.org.
Visitors at Lunch
We have limited space and the tables are 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.
All visitors will need to check in with the office using their valid driver's license or government issued ID.
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, we ask that you limit your lunch visits to 2 times per student per grading period.
There will be some dates that our campus will be closed for lunch visitors due to events or changes in schedules. These will be communicated through Parent Square and your child's teacher.
