IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT FACEBOOK MEMBERSHIP: On August 10th, 2023, ALL parents and family members will be REMOVED from the Facebook Group (NTxCA South Campus).
Because we want to do as much as possible to protect all of our students and families, we want to make sure we have parents and family members within this group who are "actively enrolled" on our campus for the 2023-2024 school year. I hope you can appreciate our efforts in trying to ensure and maintain the social media safety of everyone in our school community. I apologize in advance for the drastic change, but this needs to be done.
Please continue to enjoy all posts, pictures, and announcements until August 10th. On August 11th, you will be able to request to join the group again; However, this is a STRONG REMINDER that every one MUST respond to the security questions AND include the name(s) of the enrolled students before access will be granted.
