This January 19 marks 40 years of celebrating MLK Day as a federal holiday; we continue to be inspired by his efforts to make the American dream a reality for so many more.

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
