Thank you to the Nixon community and for students showing up #RightHereRightNow.

Dear Nixon Community,
We would like to assure classes continue on Monday, January 12th at Nixon Elementary.
Although the water line break in Northeast El Paso has impacted several campuses, Nixon is open on Monday, January 12th. There is no impact to water services at the campus. All classes and services are continuing as scheduled. We understand that many families in the community may have been impacted and we are hoping disruptions are resolved quickly for all impacted.
District has sent a separate e-mail indicating the school closures. El Paso ISD remains in constant contact with El Paso Water Utilities and will share updates as available. Please continue to check the district website and social media page.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Sally McHalffey
Principal
Nixon Elementary

Dear Families,
As a campus, we are completing our Digital Citizenship lessons, and we wanted to share a few helpful reminders for supporting healthy technology habits at home.
Technology is a big part of our students’ daily lives, and with a little balance, it can be a positive tool for learning, creativity, and connection. The tips shared here focus on creating screen-free times, setting clear expectations, using parental controls, and encouraging healthy conversations around media use.
Thank you for partnering with us to help students build safe, responsible, and balanced digital habits—both at school and at home. 💙
If you have any questions or would like more resources, feel free to reach out.
