Welcome Back!

Thank you to all of our students and families for making the start of the 2023-2024 school year so special!

We hope you have had an incredible week at Meet-the-Teacher events, Meet-the-Mascot pep rallies, plus an awesome first week of school! Click below for full photo albums from across Northwest ISD!
Set up your ParentSquare notifications

All NISD families have the ability to personalize when and how they receive communication from teachers, schools and the district in ParentSquare!

After accessing their account, families can select whether to receive notifications immediately or as a digest, which sends an evening recap of all notifications for the day.

Get the ParentSquare app now so you can stay informed all year long!
Real-time bus tracking with SMART tags

Northwest ISD families can track their students' buses easier than ever before with the new SMART tag system! Based on parent and guardian feedback, our district has transitioned from Zonar to SMART tag this school year.

During the first two weeks of school, campuses will distribute SMART tags to students. Once obtained, students should keep the SMART tag with them, such as on a lanyard or strapped to their backpack, to scan when boarding a bus.
Back-to-School Fair

Nearly 1,500 backpacks and school supply sets were distributed to NISD students at this year's Back-to-School Fair on Saturday, August 5! We would like to send a very special thank you to the more than 60 volunteers, business partners and vendors who provided students with haircuts, sports physicals, dental and hearing screenings and more!
