East Campus

Free Casual Day TOMORROW!

Good evening North Texas Collegiate Academy parents, this is Mr. Dix, Principal of East Campus. I have our weekly announcements. Our character trait of the the week is THANKFULNESS. I want to thank Mr. Miles Perez for speaking to our students on Veteran's Day on Friday. I truly appreciate it and want to thank you and the rest of the veterans that are parents, family members, or NTxCA staff for their service to our country! We would have loved to have more community members attend our celebration however we were able to do so because of limited space. We are hosting an East Campus Construction Update at 6:00PM on Tuesday, November 29th. Please.joun this informative Zoom meeting to get up to date information regarding East Campus construction from our Superintendent, Dr. Stanley. Please see the link below: Join Zoom Meeting https://zoom.us/j/3932358940?pwd=Q1ZWdWkwYWRFNlhFTzVjN2h2OFhCZz09 Meeting ID: 393 235 8940 Passcode: 756538 I want to remind all parents that daily attendance at school is crucial. Please make sure your student is at school every day on time to avoid truancy. Daily compulsory attendance is mandatory by law. NTxCA follows all Denton County attendance guidelines. If your child has unexcused absences, you will receive an Attendance/Truancy Warning letter. When students miss 2 or more days in one week, it triggers a Truancy Warning letter that includes a scheduled time for you to meet with the principal. This meeting is mandatory, and we will review interventions for improvement in attendance. This week our 3rd through 8th grade students will be taking STAAR Interim Assessments. We will be doing the math test on Tuesday and the ELAR test on Wednesday. Please be sure that your students are on time to school and that they eat a good meal and get rest so that they can do well on these assessments. The information gathered from these assessments will greatly help your students become prepared for the upcoming STAAR tests this spring. Please note that this Friday, November 18th will be an early release day. The school day will be over at 1:00pm with no after school care activities. The bus will run at 1:00pm. This date was not originally on our school calendar, so please make a note of this change. After this day, there will be no school until Monday, November 28th, due to observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. And remember, NTxCA is more than a school! Thank you and have a fantastic Bulldog week! #MoreThanASchool

Some of you may have seen paramedics and a fire truck outside of the school this afternoon. Please do not be alarmed, a student had a medical issue and received proper medical attention and is stabilized and recovering at this time.
