North East Independent School District - NEISD

North East ISD celebrated 15 foreign exchange students and their host families during the North East ISD Council of PTAs Annual Foreign Exchange Breakfast at the Piper Bass Memorial Student Center on Friday. 🎉

This year, NEISD families welcomed students from Spain, France, Germany, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and Mexico.

During a Q&A panel, the students shared how much this experience means to them and what they love about NEISD schools. The students talked about how friendly the teachers and coaches are here and how much they enjoy the variety of classes they can take, like Medical Terminology, Forensic Science, and Ceramics. Most of the students said their favorite new foods included Tex-Mex staples like quesadillas and tacos, although Chick-fil-A and Cane’s came in a close second. At the end, they thanked their host families for their hospitality and friendship that will last long after they return to their home countries.

This group of Ronald Reagan High School - North East ISD students spends their free time making sure kids in our communities have access to books. 📚

“I feel really proud to make an impact,” said Reagan senior Kyra Yiannos. “Being able to be the person to give this kind of access to underserved communities is really impactful to me.”

Kyra and about 30 of her friends make up the Little Locker Ambassadors. They receive books from the Texas Yes Project and stock locker libraries in areas where children have little or no access to books.

“When you read a good book, it stays with you,” said fellow Little Locker Ambassador and Reagan senior Kendra Baker. “It can really help you grow as a person. It makes me feel really proud that I can give kids access to books.”

The group estimates they’ve delivered thousands of books since the beginning of the school year, helping students across the city find a love of literature. Our Reagan students are showing how a small act can have a big impact— ! 💙

NEISD is aware of student protests going on this week. Here is how our schools are handling the situation:

While the campus respects our students’ rights to express their individual views, our highest priorities are to maintain students’ safety on campus and preserve a rich learning environment accessible to all of our students.

Should students participate in a walkout, we want to be clear that students will be considered truant from class resulting in an unexcused absence. Additionally, if the event creates a significant disruption to learning or creates any type of physical danger to others such as bringing weapons or inciting violence, students will receive disciplinary consequences ranging from detention or In-school suspension to Out-of-school suspension or recommendation to an alternative educational setting.

Campus administration will maintain vigilance about the potential of a walkout; communicate with NEPD and NEISD campus safety about any needs for support; communicate with faculty about response practices, and with families about new developments. We also want to encourage families to speak with your student(s) about the potential dangers and/or consequences of participating in an event of this nature.

Lifelong learning is back in session! 🌟

NEISD’s Academy of Learning in Retirement (ALIR) has officially kicked off a new semester, welcoming Alirians ages 50 and older to connect, learn, and grow together.
