Jag News

Hopefully everyone had a relaxing 3 day weekend as we start week 4 now! The first Progress Reports will be available in your Family Access portal by Thursday. The past few weeks our assistant principals were visiting classrooms to talk to all students about some rules and expectations at CTJ and NEISD. A separate email went to parents & guardians last week with all the information shared.

Please save the date of Tuesday, 9/17/24, for our Meet the Teacher Open House PTSA Greenback night! There will be a PTSA General meeting at 6 pm and the Open House will start about 6:30 pm.

Please remember to be courteous and patient while dropping off and picking up your child at school. The majority are doing so and we understand that sometimes some people take shortcuts. Please be patient with all for the safety of our kids. Thank you!

For all Jags in 2024-25, be sure read all of the information below and continue to check your NEISD email periodically for information about the start of school and other events to start the year.

Sincerely,

Gary Comalander - Principal
