A Note from Mrs. Williams
What a great, busy week it’s been! I hope everyone stayed safe last night during the storms. Thankfully, our building is in good shape, despite having lost power for a little while last night. I am thankful that all of our families were safe and are well.
Thank you to all those who attended Multicultural Night on Tuesday! It was a wonderful learning experience getting to learn about cultures around the world, but most importantly about the amazing cultures that represent Schluter! We are excited to have even more families represented next year.
Today was also Northwest Reads! Thank you to all of our volunteers for giving of their time to help promote reading and literacy with our students! You being here makes such a difference for our students, and it means the world to us. We were also so thankful to have Mr. Schluter, Dr. Foust, Dr. Raven, and Mrs. Miles come to read with our students too! Be sure to ask your kiddos about it!
Coming soon is also Career Day! If you could not make it to volunteer for Northwest Reads, please consider volunteering for Career Day! Our students love learning about different careers, and thinking about what they want to be when they grow up. Check out the graphic below to sign up to volunteer; we would love to have you!
Next week is Open House, and we can’t wait! This is such a great evening for our students to showcase so much of their learning from throughout the year. We will start with a PTA meeting at 5:15 pm, and classroom visits start at 5:30pm. We will also host another Dudes on Duty orientation at 6:00 pm that evening for any of our dads/uncles/grandfathers who were not able to attend our first kick-off. I hope you’ll join us that night!
It looks like we have lovely weather coming this weekend, so I hope everyone gets to enjoy it!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Williams

Bond election called to meet record-setting growth
With the board’s approval, the referendum will now appear before voters on May 6 for consideration. Voters will have the opportunity to cast ballots on three propositions: new schools and educational facility updates ($1,672,193,000), new high school stadiums and updates to existing stadiums ($301,555,000), and technology devices ($21,752,000). While the total amount of the bond referendum across all three propositions is roughly $1.995 billion, voters will not see that figure and will only see the monetary amount as divided into each proposition. For more information and to view the full proposal, visit www.nisdtxbond.org.
Registration for Camp Invention is open!
In the ALL-NEW Wonder program at @CampInvention children will become innovative entrepreneurs as they design their own mini pop-up business, create a one-of-a-kind MimicBot™, build a mini skate park and become confident event planners. Camp is coming to Berkshire Elementary the week of June 12th. Register your rising K-6th grader for the fun at http://bit.ly/3mbX6vW

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.
