Remote Learners To Engage With NISD Teachers, Courses Online
Students who remain in Remote Learning will be able to participate in their classes through synchronous and asynchronous platforms.

Elementary students will work directly with a designated Remote Learning teacher via Zoom lessons, videos, and activities and assignments in SeeSaw.

Secondary students will transition back to an eight-period daily schedule on Monday. Click here to view the bell schedule.

Remote Learning will be provided three ways for secondary students:
  • Classes led by designated Remote Learning teachers.
  • Classes led by on-campus instructors through Zoom synchronous instruction.
  • Coursework through Edgenuity, aligned to NISD curriculum, with additional NISD supplements when necessary. Students in these classes will also receive regular support and guidance from their NISD teacher.
The content of all courses has been customized and aligned to match NISD curriculum standards, ensuring that students who learn remotely can seamlessly transition back into an in-person classroom environment.

Attendance will be taken daily for elementary students and each period for secondary students. Participation in SeeSaw, Moodle, Edgenuity, as well as interacting with teachers, and completing assignments will all count toward daily attendance. NISD Grading Guidelines will continue to be followed for all students.
Information For Elementary Remote Learners
  • Beginning Monday, elementary Remote Learners will participate in Specials (Art, Music, and P.E.) asynchronously. Students will receive a welcome video from their Art, Music and P.E. teachers each week, along with a choice board of daily activities.

  • Each school day for Remote Learners will begin with a Morning Meeting via Zoom, starting Monday.
USDA Program Offers Free Meals for All NISD Elementary, Middle School Students
All NISD's elementary and middle school students will be eligible to receive free meals, thanks to a program offered by the USDA.

Regardless of income and eligibility, the USDA's Summer Meal Program has been extended through December to help ensure children have access to nutritious food.
