Want to Volunteer in NISD Schools?
|
NISD appreciates the work of our volunteers! If you plan to work with children in NISD schools, you must pass a criminal background check prior to volunteering. The Northwest Volunteers in Public Schools (VIPS) system includes background checks and captures volunteer interest profiles. This web-based, interactive contact center enables volunteers to update contact details, preferences and match volunteer opportunities to parents and the community.
The new VIPS system can be found at www.nisdtx.org under Quick Links or here. For more information, contact NISD Partners in Education Specialist Phil Beckman at 817-215-0172.

NISD Welcomes 240+ New Teachers
|
Northwest ISD greeted 241 new teachers during the New Teacher Academy this week. Teachers new to NISD spent the week in a series of professional development trainings, visiting with mentor teachers and at a breakfast provided by title sponsor Northwest ISD Education Foundation. Following the breakfast, new teachers completed an Ambassador Training provided by Friends of Texas Public Schools. The training offers a look behind the curtain to learn what is really impacting schools and how the community and staff, as leaders, can advocate for education and make their voices heard.
