I am pleased to share that we have launched improved websites! The new format is a “responsive design” to optimize the browsing experience for mobile users. We have streamlined some categories, making navigating and finding the information you need easier. As with all things new, we know there may be an adjustment period and we appreciate your feedback.

The Belton, Texas July 4th Parade dates back to 1919! The last several parades have included our own Nolan Creek School. This year, we enjoyed a great turnout while promoting our school. A huge thank you to Mr. Vance, one of our parents, for the time, energy and dollars spent to give our float a face lift! Nolan Creek School appreciates you!

Starting on August 15th, parents will be able to view the rating for their child’s school, plus much more, by visiting TXschools.gov. Parents will also be able to search for schools using their address and compare their child’s school to others. Parents have shared that the detailed profile information along with school ratings, school offerings, and additional parent resources help paint a more complete picture of their child’s school. Parent School Rating FAQ documents created by TEA are below.

We had a few calendar changes this summer. Please click the following school names to access the new calendars: Kingsland School and Nolan Creek School.
