Parents to See More Information Online
12/13/2007

We are excited to soon be able to pilot two new components in NISD’s popular Parent Connection: student discipline data and online cafeteria payments. The student discipline component will be piloted with parents of students at Clark, Rawlinson and Locke Hill beginning January 22. Online cafeteria payments will soon follow, beginning with NISD employees who are parents of students at Jefferson, Galm, Holmes, Jones, and Meadow Village. Parents will be receiving letters in the mail soon with additional details.
