Pending further direction from those agencies, we are asking that staff and students plan to continue following our current safety protocols for quarantine, social distancing, and wearing of masks at least through March 10th. We will send an update as quickly as decisions are made regarding any guidelines after March 10th.

The Middle School track meet is in Kenedy this Friday, March 5th. Spectators are able to attend. $3 for adults and $2 for students at the gate.

This is just a reminder that NSCISD will have tacos to go from 11:30-1:00 at the Nixon and Smiley cafeterias for any children ages 1-18.

All extracurricular activities (games and practices) are suspended until school resumes on Monday(22nd). Take care and stay safe.

Nixon-Smiley CISD will remain closed on Friday, February 19th. We hope this will allow our community and staff members a day to make repairs and dig out of this mess. Both the Nixon and Smiley cafeterias will be providing tacos to go for children ages 1-18 from 11:30am-1:00pm. on Friday. We hope this helps!
