Missed adopting an angel? You can still help! |

Donate to ensure each child has a happy holiday this year. |
|
This year, Northwest ISD had 1,540 students on the Virtual Angel Tree, the most angels needing adoption in the program's history!
Did you miss out on adopting an angel from this year’s Virtual Angel Tree program? We still need your help!
Because many angel donations will never be returned by the adopter, the NISD Angel Tree program is now accepting donations of clothing, toys, games, gift cards and more, to make sure each child on our list has a happy holiday season!

Members of the NISD Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) provide numerous levels of invaluable input. The LRPC consists of various members — including parents, staff, business owners and more — from across Northwest ISD who lead the committee and provide diverse perspectives. The LRPC meets often to study and prioritize the facility needs of the school district and assists in providing recommendations to the Northwest ISD Board of Trustees.
A LRPC website has been created to keep the NISD community informed on the progress of the committee and the facility planning process. To view meeting presentations and notes, to submit a question or to view LRPC resources, please visit www.nisdtxlrpc.org.
