Hello NWISD Families, We just sent an email with a link for the 2019-2020 Parent Survey. If you do not receive the email please go to the New Waverly ISD website and complete the 2019-2020 Parent Survey under the Parent Resources tab in the main menu. The best way to make sure every student in our school succeeds is to build a strong partnership between families, the school and the community. The survey gives you the opportunity to tell us what our school is doing well to support this partnership and what we can do better. Please help us by completing the survey by 5:00 p.m. on Monday, May 4th.

All NWISD FAMILIES: we have some additional hotspots available. We will distribute them at the high school tomorrow from 10:30–1:00 pm on Thursday 4/23/2020. These have unlimited data with 1 per student family while supplies last!

As per Governor Abbott schools will not open again physically. We will continue the school year as we have been doing the past several weeks with our online and physical packets. We want all students to receive credit; we will also continue serving meals as we have been doing.

Reminder to seniors and their parents: 6 pm meeting regarding graduation tonight via zoom. See your email from Mr. Shevlin for details!

NWISD has lost power and internet at this time due to truck in town. We will get things up and running as soon as we are able to do so.

Quick update on meals: Thursdays meals will contain meals for Friday and Monday breakfast. We will be having busses and curbside run Monday-Thursday with the double meals on Thursday! We will not be running busses or curbside service on Fridays.

Happy Good Friday! We hope everyone has a blessed Easter despite the conditions we currently face! One business item: please see our News item for information to virtually attend Monday’s school Board meeting if you are interested.

Please watch this video to see the latest information regarding school work and Good Friday holiday. https://youtu.be/YrXTFa9jrqI

We have confirmed with Walker County officials that the new orders issued today ALLOW families to access campuses for picking up or dropping off school work or meals. There is no violation if you choose to access materials in this manner as has occurred for the past 3 weeks. If you are not comfortable doing so please contact your campus principal and we will work on more plans!

Meals provided today are doubled to cover tomorrow and Monday morning! No meal service provided tomorrow for Good Friday observance!

Important Note: Meals on Thursday will be available for Thursday, Friday, and Monday Morning. We will be observing Good Friday so no employees will be available that day. New school work is available today via web-page, physical packets, or other teacher led methods.

TEA asked us to share: The New Waverly community must work together to fight COVID-19. Head to http://tea.texas.gov/staywell for vitally important public health guidance to stop the spread. If we stand apart as a community now, we will be together again soon.

In accordance with Governor Abbott's orders, New Waverly ISD is amending our tentative return date. Attached is a letter with details. We will now hope for return date of May 4.

We have attached 2 new documents. As you know the home instruction requirement is evolving from the State of Texas. As a result we will be starting a new phase next week. We know that there will be challenges, but we will work together and help each other out. Even though we will now be tracking student progress for credit and completion, I stress that we will work with our families to help students achieve. Please let you advisor/teacher know of questions and concerns!

Passing along a huge thanks to our commissioner’s office and our ESD for gifting hand sanitizer! We are giving those away with food pick ups (bus stop or elementary) but an adult must be present.

Week 2 packets are available via: campuses, meal distribution points, or online. Faculty members are working on the next phase of home instruction for both hi tech and low tech learning situations. We will have more materials and opportunities available soon (may already be available)!

We wanted to reach out and let everyone know that our staff is missing your children! Again we have two main links on webpage: home instructional supports and Coronavirus updates, including some videos. Videos are NOT professional so try not to be too critical! 😀
