Parents,
We had a fabulous celebration this past week for our Veterans!! Thank you to our veterans, families, PTA, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Staff, and Students for making this an honorable time! Thank you!
On another note, we have a GO PUBLIC FLAG flying high with our American and Texas Flags.NEISD along with 14 other area school districts will be taking part in the "Go Public campaign to generate better awareness of the facts about Bexar County's independent public school districts and the wonderful, life-changing things that happen in our schools ever day". They want the community to know more about the amazing things our schools do for the community. For more information, visit the WeGoPublic.com.
Thank you,
Tara Bailey

Helpful Information
Middle School Boundary Information
“We have received so much helpful feedback from our two boundary meetings and our first two meetings with the PTA. We appreciate your attendance and comments at those meetings and we also thank many of you who have communicated your thoughts via email. We continue to welcome any additional comments atboundaries@neisd.net. We appreciate so many of you taking the time to weigh in on the options presented. As the district continues to review your suggestions, we have determined a third boundary meeting that was set for November 19th, 2013 will not be necessary. Staff is working to prepare a recommendation to be presented to the Board of Trustees in December. Please continue to monitor this website for further updates.” - NEISD
Car Rider Line
Please be aware that speeding and texting in a school zone is a fine. We’ve had several reports and obviously, I think about the safety of our children. They are irreplaceable!!!!
Book Drive (Exchange) for Sister School
We collected books last year through the winter break that some of our students delivered to our sister school. The staff and students would like to make this a tradition rather than exchanging with classmates. The spirit of giving! We will begin this after the Thanksgiving Break! More details to come.
