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. Thank you!

Northwest ISD families can track their students' buses quickly and easily with the SMART Tag system! The system allows a parent or guardian to sign into an iPhone or Android app to monitor their child’s bus in real time.
The system works by tracking a tablet on a bus with real-time updates. When a student boards a bus, they will scan their tag so the tablet assigns them to the bus for parents and guardians to track. This technology also ensures students board the appropriate bus, as the system will indicate if a student has boarded the wrong bus. Learn more and obtain app download links on this webpage.
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.
Student Lunch Drop Off
If your child forgot to bring their lunch from home, no worries! They will be able to get a lunch from the cafeteria or you may drop off their lunch by 9:30am. This 9:30am cut off time ensure that your child will receive their lunch for their designated lunch time.
All Northwest ISD parents and guardians have the ability to personalize when and how they receive communication from teachers, schools and the district in ParentSquare! For families who have not yet set up their accounts, please click the appropriate link in any district ParentSquare email to do so.
After creating an account, families can select whether to receive notifications immediately or as a recap of all notifications for the day each evening. To adjust your settings, click your name in the top right corner of the ParentSquare website, select “My Account” and then select “Notification Settings” on the left sidebar. Instant notifications will send more frequent communication, and the digest option will send communication as a recap each evening.

Visitors at Lunch
In order for our students to learn the routines and procedures, our campus will be closed to lunch visitors until Aug. 26th. From Sept. 16-20, lunch visitors will be reserved for Grandparents only (There is a sign up genus for during this time). Lunch visitors will be open to all visitors beginning August 26.
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.
