A Note from Mrs. Williams
Hello Schluter Families!
We are fully back in the swing of things for the start of the Spring semester. We had our Dudes on Duty kickoff this week, and we are looking forward to partnering with our dads, uncles, and grandfathers to have a positive male presence in our school. If you are interested, but could not make it to the kickoff, please reach out to our counselor, Mrs. Martinez.
We also hosted UIL tryouts this week, and students learned if they made a team today. We were so excited to see the interest in UIL this year, the most we've ever had.
Today we kicked our Kids' Heart Challenge in partnership with the American Heart Association. Check out the information below to see how you can help!
I hope everyone has a great 3-day weekend, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday, January 17th!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Williams
Reminder: No school for MLK Day
Enjoy your long weekend as we reflect and appreciate the change influenced by Dr. King!

KIDS HEART CHALLENGE
Schluter Elementary has kicked off American Heart Association’s KIDS HEART CHALLENGE by the students watching THIS KHC VIDEO to meet this year’s Heart Heroes and bring home information about KHC. Our campus goal is to raise $8,000 in donations to fight heart diseases and stroke and have 100% of families learn hands-only CPR.
Bonus Fun!
Any student that raises $150 gets to SLIME Mrs. Withers and Mr. Arnold!!
Also, students who are registered by Monday will be entered into a drawing with students across the country for a Large Squishmallow or a $50 Amazon Gift Certificate!
Your students can earn this year’s heart heroes (see below) by registering using this KHC Registration Link or downloading the Kids Heart Challenge app! Your family can learn hands only CPR by starting Finn’s Mission after your register!

Reception to meet new superintendent on January 19
School times changing in 2023-2024, slight calendar tweaks
Boundary changes proposed for 2023-2024
As Northwest ISD continues to rapidly grow and open new schools, the district must balance enrollments at campuses to provide safe and effective learning environments. With three brand-new campuses opening in 2023 and several campuses at or over capacity, Northwest ISD has begun the rezoning process at all campus levels. To view the proposals and ways to provide your feedback, visit www.nisdtx.org/rezoning.

Alphabest Afterschool Care
Reminder: Use MyShoolBucks for school meal accounts
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.
