A Note from Mrs. Williams
Hello Schluter Families!
Happy Fall! We are finally getting to enjoy a little hint of fall weather, and it has been wonderful this week! October is quite a busy month, so be sure to review the dates and flyers below to stay up to date on all of the fun things happening this month. Next week is Character Counts! week, and we are looking forward to having a focus on the character traits that will help our students be true leaders, now and in the future.
Next week is also picture day. These are the pictures we will use for the yearbook this year. If a student is absent that day, we will have a make-up day later in the semester.
Also, more cool weather is headed our way soon, so be sure to label those jackets and sweaters with first and last names. We want to try to get these items back home with the right kiddos as soon as we can.
Have a fantastic weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Williams
Spelling Bee - 3rd-5th Students
This year’s spelling bee will be done using Scripps National Spelling Bee. The classroom bee
will be an oral test this year held in the classroom the week of October 17th. The top two
winners from each class will go on to compete in the campus bee on December 9th. They will
receive their study guide for the campus bee after the classroom bee is complete. There will not be a study guide for the classroom bee.
The Area Bee will be held on February 10th.
If you have any questions, please contact your campus coordinators.
Thank you,

Let's Talk About Lunch!
Do you know what is included in an elementary and middle school meal? Watch the video and learn more!
You may be surprised how much is available to your student every day for lunch!
Free or reduced-priced meals now require 2022-2023 application
For students who meet federal requirements, school meals may be provided free or at a reduced cost. To receive this benefit, a student's parent or guardian must fill out the free or reduced-cost meal application and be granted admission into the program. While students in the program receive the same benefits briefly at the start of the following school year, the application must be completed annually to continue receiving the program's benefits. For any student who received benefits from the free or reduced-priced meal program in 2021-2022 but has not yet applied and been granted its benefits for the current school year, regular costs are now in effect.
In order for benefits to continue, an application must be completed and returned and free or reduced-price meals will continue to be provided, if the student qualifies. The application can be completed at this link. Paper applications are also available at all Northwest ISD campuses. Please direct any questions to Yen Brown, free and reduced specialist, at 817-698-1091.
Registration now open for annual NISD Reindeer Romp
The event consists of two races, a 5K and 1-mile fun run. The latter race begins at 8:30 a.m., while the longer race begins at 9 a.m. Registration costs $20 per student and $25 per adult. Registrants can take part in either race or both races, if desired.
To register for the Reindeer Romp or learn more about the event, visit www.nisdreindeerromp.com.
Background checks delayed following court backlogs
Please be aware that because of backlogs with court systems, background checks for volunteering are taking additional time to process. While background checks are typically expected to take about three days, the delays are causing them to take up to three weeks.
Northwest ISD partners with a respected service to gather these reports, though our partner can only operate as quickly as the court system. Please keep this in mind when volunteering, and we encourage anyone who plans to volunteer this year to submit a background check immediately instead of waiting.
