Summer School is a time catch up in your studies, learn something new, or try to get ahead.
NISD offers a wide variety of courses, from classes needed for remediation and core-courses to allow students to take more advanced and varied courses during the regular school year, to enrichment courses and camps that allow students to explore and have fun while learning something new.
However, because of future cuts, what once might have been offered free of charge, may not be this summer. Tuition-based summer school programs will be offered for students who are in danger of being retained or who need to accelerate high school credits.
For instance, at the elementary level, students in K-4 will be eligible for summer school if they are reading below grade level and are being retained.
At the middle school level, students are eligible if they fail two or more core academic courses. As required by state law, accelerated instruction will be offered tuition-free for students at the 5th and 8th grade who have not passed the reading or math sections of TAKS
Tuition- based High School Summer School will be held at Stevens High School for students needing to accelerate the accumulation of credits or to retrieve a lost credit.
Also included are summer enrichment programs offered at various sites across the district. Summer enrichment programs are sponsored and funded by such departments as: State Compensatory Education, Special Education, Fine Arts, Bilingual/ESL and Adult and Community Education.
