The attached click sheet can be used by students and parents/guardians to obtain their report card.

The report cards will be made available at 5pm on June 14, 2024 through noon on July 19, 2024.

Beginning June 15, 2024, a portion of Autumn Mist Street will be temporarily closed at the San Antonio city limits near Alamo Ranch. The residential street will be closed through September 15, 2024 to determine the feasibility of and desire for a permanent closure.

All homes remain accessible. The closure only affects traffic between the Santa Maria and North San Antonio Hills neighborhoods.

Electronic signboards will be placed on Lone Star Parkway and the 1604 access road to alert drivers.

As a Northside student, we ask that you read at least one novel of your choice this summer. By spending time reading, you will expand your vocabulary, give yourself examples of great writing, deepen your critical thinking skills, and build your focus and imagination.

There is no other assignment than to read and be ready to discuss your book when school starts.

The list below gives you some ideas of books that you might find interesting or give you a place to start looking. Remember, you can choose whichever book you wish to read - it does not have to be on the list below. The novels marked by an asterisk (*) indicate books on Northside’s approved book list. If you are interested in other titles not on the approved book list, we encourage you to do some research and speak with your family before selecting a title.

Please email Bianca Flores at Bianca-1.Flores@nisd.net with any questions.

You can check out digital books through your school’s library on Sora, Libby, or the San Antonio Public Library.

Happy Reading!

We hope this message finds you well. In our commitment to creating a high-quality instructional environment for your child, we would like to inform you about the decision to turn off the Google chat feature on all district devices assigned to middle school students for the 2024-25 school year. This decision aims to help students stay focused and fully engaged in all lessons throughout the day without distractions.

Please know that students do not need access to the chat feature for educational purposes and will still have access to contact their teachers and other staff as needed through email and in person assistance. We appreciate your understanding and support in our effort to create a productive learning environment for all students.

There are lots of ways you can help us be our campus safe. For example, you can talk with your children about the importance of taking drills seriously, remaining calm, and cooperating with all staff.

Check out the District Safety Website to learn more about additional safety measures.

Technology

Please be advised that as part of our commitment to maintaining a focused and respectful learning environment, all electronic devices must be turned off and kept out of sight during the following hours: 8:25 AM to 3:55 PM. This policy applies to hallways, restrooms, locker rooms, the cafeteria, and classrooms. This includes computers, iPads, phones, gaming systems, and earbuds/airpods.

Lost or Stolen Devices

Any and all electronics will be the sole responsibility of the student. Briscoe is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
