This past couple of weeks, students have been completing our beginning of the year testing screeners. This gives teachers the ability to create small groups and create goals for students based on this information.

Kinder-5th grade should have sent home a family report that shows your child's scores.

We are very proud of how hard they worked.

The Gifted & Talented (GT) testing window will open September 22 and close on October 3.

Families interested in referring a student for GT testing must:

Please note: Referrals will only be accepted during this testing window. Any forms received after October 3 will be held for the Fall 2026 testing window.

Thank you for your support in helping us identify and serve our gifted learners!

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

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.

If you have any questions, contact Mrs. Carpenter or Mrs. Brantley. Let's work together to ensure your child is on time and ready to learn!

Students will be released at 3:15 pm.

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

**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.

The Play It Safe program will be presented at our school on September 25-26 for grades K-5. Students who have OPTED IN will attend.

Please reach out to our counselor, Emily Copeland, if you have any questions. ecopeland@mfisd.org

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