🎃 Fall Festival is Just Around the Corner! 🍂
Join us as we prepare for one of our favorite events of the year!
The PTO will be meeting on Monday, October 6th at 5 PM in the cafeteria to discuss planning and volunteer opportunities for the Fall Festival.
We’d love your input and help to make this event a fun and memorable experience for everyone. Come be part of the magic—see you there!

📢 El Paso ISD students, teachers, and parents are invited to take our anonymous Cell Phone Policy Survey. 📲

The Texas Legislature recently passed a law requiring school districts to implement a cell phone policy. As a result, El Paso ISD adopted its new policy this school year.

Your valued input helps us understand how the policy affects teaching, learning, and the overall school environment. 🏫📝

Please check your email on Monday, Sept. 29, for your survey link. Thank you for being part of the conversation! 🌟

Dear Nixon Families,

We need your help to ensure our campus receives important funding and resources. Please complete the Income Determination and Impact Aid forms in Parent Portal by Friday, September 18th.

How to Complete the Forms:
1️⃣ Log in to your Parent Portal account
2️⃣ Click the “Forms” tab at the top
3️⃣ Complete both forms

📣 Why it matters:
-The Impact Aid form helps recover tax dollars lost due to federal properties (like Fort Bliss) within our district boundaries.

-The Income Determination form helps fund free breakfast & lunch and determines Title I funding for our campus.

Currently, only 44.3% of families have submitted their forms. All families are required to complete these forms.

If you need help logging in or have questions, please contact our PIEMS Clerk Ms. Davis:
📍 in the office until 4:00 PM
📧 lmdavis1@episd.org
☎️ (915) 236-5900
