(Seguin) — The new school year officially begins on Wednesday for Navarro ISD students, but NISD officials say the preparations for that first day should actually start now.
Navarro ISD Superintendent Mandy Epley says they want to start by reminding students to watch their bed times.
“Well, it’s important to remember that kids have been on some unusual schedules this summer. So, starting this week, it’s important to start getting into that routine of getting into bed early, eating well and being ready for that early start time,” said Epley.
Epley says there are also some bell schedule changes on tap for some Navarro ISD students this year. She says the changes will hopefully help making getting kids to school a little bit easier each day.
“For the first time in Navarro’s history, we will be going to a staggered start with our elementary and intermediate (schools) opening their doors at 6:45 (a.m.), with the first bell at 7:30 (a.m.) and dismissal at 3:05 (p.m.). Our junior high and high schools will have their study hall available at 7 a.m. in the junior high cafeteria, with the main doors for both campuses opening at 8 a.m., and our instructional day going from 8:35 (a.m.) to 4:10 (p.m.),” said Epley.
With schools set to open on Wednesday in the Navarro ISD, Epley says the district has made a number of resources available to students, parents and the community.
“We have a lot of great information on our website, as well as on our Facebook page to help families be prepared for transportation services (and) their school supply lists,” said Epley.
Much like the Marion ISD, schools in the Navarro ISD are growing at a rapid pace. We’ll take a look at NISD’s enrollment numbers and discuss other plans for its first day of school on Wednesday. More helpful information is also currently available on the Navarro ISD’s website, nisd.us.
