Last Thursday, PTO and Mrs. Graham put on a very successful auction, holiday activities, and PreK 3- 2nd grade music night.

Thanks to all of the volunteers and Mrs. Graham for all of the hard work.

Emily Copeland led our Family informational meeting on solution oriented problem solving. I am attaching the video of her talking and the QUESTION Parent Guide sheet is attached that she suggests you use to start conversations before and after school.

We also talked in this meeting about how Mrs. Brantley will do a book study at the end of the year and into the 2026 summer. We will be reading The Anxious Generation. This book led us to a great conversation about digital citizenship and online safety. The book will give us a chance in 2026 to talk further on this subject.

We are excited to have Play Club two mornings a week! If you'd like to help monitor and hang out with our students on a Monday or Wednesday morning, use the link to sign up. If not employed by MFISD you must fill out a volunteer form (link on sign up) and check in at the office. 

We appreciate your ongoing support in helping your child succeed in school. One of the most important ways to set them up for success is by making sure they are at school every day and on time.

We understand that mornings can be busy and that illnesses do happen. If your child is feeling unwell, of course, we want them to rest and recover. But if they’re feeling well, being at school and arriving on time gives them the best chance to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.

Here are our attendance policies:

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.

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.

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