Spirit Week and Grandparents Week Fun!

Spicewood Informative Topics

Attendance Matters

Regular school attendance is key to your child's success. Here are some key points:

  • Our school day begins at 7:45 AM.
  • Any arrival after 8:00 AM is considered a partial absence and will count as unexcused unless you have a doctor note.
  • If your child is sick, please call the school nurse or office to notify us. However, they cannot be excused unless seen by a medical professional or excused by our nurse.
  • To have an absence excused, make sure to bring in a note from a doctor, dentist, or counselor.

For unexcused absences:
You will receive an automated district email when your child has three unexcused absences. After five to seven unexcused absences, you'll get another notification and a call from the school to sign a Truancy Prevention Form. On the 10th unexcused absence, your child is considered truant.

This policy applies to all students enrolled in public school, ages 3 and older.

Let's work together to ensure your child is on time and ready to learn!

Nurse and Counselor Consent

Action Required in Skyward:

To comply with legislative requirements, a parent or guardian must complete the CONSENT FOR SCHOOL HEALTH AND COUNSELOR CARE FOR YOUR CHILD. Both consents are found online in Skyward Family Access. 
 
This form must be completed for our nurse and counselor to see your child.

Counselor Corner

Counselor Flyer on trait of the month is all about RESPECT.

End of Day:

Students will be released at 3:15 pm.

RIDE CHANGES: If you have a ride change, notify Sarah Sims at ssims@mfisd.org.

Send a ride change email BEFORE 2:45pm.

**We are now in full swing with students doing different modes of transportation as they have activities after school such as ACE, soccer, dance, etc.

PLEASE NOTIFY THE OFFICE EVERY TIME THERE IS A CHANGE. Following this procedure for ride changes is necessary to ensure that students go to the correct pick-up place for dismissal.

ACE Update

Continue to watch your email for your family's start date if you are still on the wait list. You will be contacted directly for your start date.

If you have any questions, contact Shelby Prout at sprout@mfisd.org.
