June 9, 2010

Because of inclement weather, all student-related activities in the New Braunfels ISD have been cancelled today. This includes summer school for the elementary and secondary grades.

Students who have been picked up by NBISD bus transportation have arrived at their summer school locations and will wait for parents to pick them up, or wait for instructions from parents to have them delivered back home.
