Please continue to watch our "COVID-19 Updates" page on the district website for continued information.
Beginning today you may access instructional materials for your students in the following ways: Each campus has a pickup/drop off area (old newspaper machines) for hard copy packets, you may access the same documents from our website in pdf format under Menu>home instructional support, or you can access a mobile version from our app under documents>home instructional support for students. These first assignments are meant for review and we will plan on updating each Monday afternoon for the week. Each campus is working on plans for providing student feedback.
NWISD delivering meals to students!
We will begin dropping off lunches at various sites around the district on Wednesday, March 18. We will also continue having curb side service at the elementary. Please see the attached schedule for info. I want to thank our drivers, food service workers, and staff volunteers!
We have made the decision to keep NWISD campuses closed until April 6.This complies with the President's request (and slightly exceeds it). We have been in contact with school board, numerous districts, and numerous health officials. Many districts are planning for longer shut downs, but we hope to return as soon as possible. We realize that the date to return is subject to change; we will also be providing more detailed information over the next several days.
schools are required to provide instructional support materials at home. Some teachers have begun emailing. Some items will be posted online. Additionally we will have physical packets available at schools. This will be an ongoing process. If you receive emails or web based access codes but do not have internet and/or home computer we will provide alternate versions in a physical form (packets etc). We will let you know when those are available for pickup, which will most likely be Wednesday.
We will be serving breakfast and lunch for all students beginning tomorrow. Meals may be picked up at New Waverly Elementary 7:30-8:30 and 11:00-1:00. ALL NWISD STUDENTS qualify for meals. We are also looking into using busses for delivery later in the week.
We are in the process of making plans to provide at home instructional support for this week for all students and expand our food service for qualifying students. We are adding curbside breakfast from 7:30-8:30 beginning tomorrow morning. Further updates to come this afternoon.
Families who qualify for free and reduced lunch will be able to pick up a boxed meal next week each day from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm. Please proceed to the back of New Waverly Elementary (car rider line). Someone will be there to take your information and deliver meal.
We have attached 2 letters for our community. One letter provides more information regarding our school closure for next week. The second letter provides some medical information from our school nurse for those who might have questions.
After gathering data NWISD has decided to extend spring break until Monday March 23. We will have a further detailed message to follow, but we wanted to let our families know. This is a precautionary move only and we expect to be out for only 1 additional week at this time.
We know everyone has questions about Coronavirus. NWISD has stayed in contact with local and state health officials. We also are in contact with surrounding districts. We plan to return to school as scheduled on Monday. However, this is a rapidly changing situation and we continue to meet and monitor our response. If there is any changes we will notify you via all communication mediums. We have engaged in deep cleaning campuses during the break and have consistently met with health officials. We will pass along information as it becomes available.
Arsenic and Old Lace will advance to Bi-District!
