The safety protocols in place in Northside ISD will remain in place for the remainder of the school year. This includes the requirement of face masks for students, staff, and visitors.

Governor Abbott announced this afternoon that he is lifting the state-wide mask mandate. While Northside ISD awaits additional guidance from TEA, all current safety protocols will remain in place, including the use of facemasks.
