What is NISD Esports?

It is the mission of NISD Esports to connect competitive gamers with each other, provide a social avenue to discuss competitive gaming, and to foster personal skills through gaming such as critical/strategic thinking, problem-solving, reflection, communication, teamwork, and leadership.

Students will participate in qualifying matches, and depending on their placement they may be asked to compete in the seasonal NISD Esports Championship in the Fall/Spring.

What are the rules? What are the responsibilities of my student?

• All students who participate in NISD Esports must abide by the NISD Student Code of Conduct, and esports code of conduct, which can be found at bit.ly/nisdesportsconduct.

• Students will have the opportunity to participate in the Middle School Esports League (MSEL), depending on their grade level. Different games will be available to these students, and a separate permission form must be completed in order to participate.

• Students will be held to the same eligibility requirements as traditional activities and sports.

• Currently the following games will be available for competition in person through NISD Esports:

  • Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

• Competition rules will be published and available before qualifying games and tournaments.

• Gameplay at time of competition will be observed and mediated by NISD Esports coaches, who retain the final decision on team rostering and play order within defined rulesets.

The Garden Club gives you an opportunity to get outside and enjoy nature and become more knowledgeable about how to care for the environment. We will learn about plants and the conditions that help them grow well by planting seeds and plants from the Bexar County Master Gardeners. We also have established butterfly gardens that are used to learn about native plants and wildlife.

Club members will be responsible for brainstorming and enacting library improvements, planning contests and events, along with talking about books. Please contact the librarian, Mrs. Castro at camila.castro@nisd.net, for more information.
