Northside Independent School District Superintendent John Craft addresses NISD teachers and staff during the convocation at the district’s gym Thursday.“We felt like we really need to reach out to families, introduce ourselves and let them know we’re here to support anything we can do to help them because their education is so important,” Craft said.
While children go to learn and grow, parents also go to the school for information, help with their taxes and even health care and immunizations.Valerie Cepeda, one of many parents who were visited, opened her door on Aug. 21 morning smiling — but a bit surprised — to see officials like Texas State Sen. José Menéndez and City Councilwoman Marina Alderete Gavito alongside Sul Ross Principal Faustino Ortega and Craft, handing out backpacks and sharing information about the upcoming year.
Targeting families with younger children is essential, Menéndez added, to prevent students from having trouble later in their academic careers. Lena Ruiz, a second-grade teacher, said, “It gets us excited to go back to school and the kids to come back, you know, get back in the groove of things.”
