First 3-Week Progress Report Available September 9th Parents/guardians and students will have access to the first 3-week progress report on SKYWARD Family Access on September 9th. Please email the student's teachers if you have any questions. Please remember that students are receiving actual numerical grades and that teachers are following NEISD Grading policies for virtual and in-person learning. Currently, there are a few students NOT turning work in or they are turning work in late. Missing and late work are subject to grading penalties. If a student is trying to submit work online and is having difficulties, staff will work with them to troubleshoot the issue and get them back on track. Students should email their teacher as soon as possible if they are having technical difficulties, as no communication might appear as if they are not taking responsibility for their work.

Our chapter shirts help to unite our members and build community, camaraderie, and pride amongst our members no matter the level of their involvement.
