West Avenue to be transformed into Pre-K Academy

On Monday, Oct. 8 the North East ISD Board of Trustees approved a transition of West Avenue Elementary School into the North East ISD Pre-Kindergarten Academy at West Avenue beginning in the 2019-2020 school year. This has been a difficult decision that NEISD staff recommended after a lengthy review and discussion, including a community meeting held on Oct. 2.

West Avenue is one of the District’s smallest schools with no forecasts for enrollment growth. At the same time, the District has seen an increase in demand for full day pre-kindergarten. Research shows that early intervention with children has a significant impact on their future success in academics. The new Pre-K Academy will offer an enhanced academic curriculum to include after-school care.

West Avenue Elementary School will continue to operate throughout the remainder of this school year. Beginning with the 2019-2020 school year, West Avenue students will be relocated to neighboring elementary schools Dellview and Olmos.
