Release of a Student During School Hours
When a student needs to be released from school early, the following procedures must be followed:
The person must be listed on the student Skyward account in either the “Family” tab or the “Emergency” tab
The person must present Photo ID
Students will not be released after 3:45pm.
Reporting and Support
Mansfield ISD is dedicated to creating a secure and friendly environment for all. Students and staff members perform better in an environment where they feel safe and protected.
“This is Our House” is a district initiative to inform the community about MISD’s holistic safety initiatives, which cover physical safety and social-emotional wellness. It includes ways to be proactive about safety and security while also outlining resources to seek help.
We are all in this together, and by working together, we can continue making Mansfield ISD a safe place for everyone.
This is our house. So if you ever see any suspicious activity, or want to report someone who may be in danger of harming others or themselves, report it anonymously using the appropriate reporting button on the MISD Website. https://www.mansfieldisd.org/student-central/our-house
We take all reports very seriously. After a submission is made, district and campus administrators will launch an investigation and contact the parties involved about any necessary next steps.
Please note that these reporting tools are not monitored 24/7. If immediate help is needed, call 911. Counselors are available during regular school hours on every campus to assist students.
Beginning of School Day
The instructional school day begins at 8:30AM and ends at 4:00PM. The building opens for students to enter at 8:00AM. Students arriving to school by car should be dropped off at the back of the building and enter through any of the back entrances. Breakfast is available in the cafeteria between 8 and 8:20AM. Students wanting to eat breakfast should go straight to the cafeteria upon entering the building. Students arriving by bus will enter through the front main entrance. The back entrances will close and lock at 8:25AM. Any students being dropped off after 8:25 should be dropped off in the front of the building and enter through the main entrance.
Students should be in their classroom ready to learn by the tardy bell that rings at 8:30AM. Anyone not in their classroom at this time must report to a Student Conductor tardy station and receive a tardy pass to present to their teacher. In order for students to have enough time to go to their locker and get to class on time, they should arrive to school no later than 8:20AM.
End of School Day
The school day ends at 4PM. Students will be dismissed from class according to their mode of transportation. Car riders will go to the back of their building where they will gather on the lawn and look for their pickup vehicle. Students should be picked up no later than 4:15PM. Bus riders will be called to the front of the building as their bus arrives. Drop Off & Pick Up Procedures
Student Chromebooks
All MISD students are provided devices and accounts to access the district’s network and the internet to execute coursework during student learning as well as communicate and collaborate with teachers and other students. All grade levels are also supplied with hot spots if an internet connectivity need is determined. Students in 5th and 6th grade are issued a Google Chromebook.
Please find all the details about receiving a device and troubleshooting with devices here: District-Issued Devices
Device Care
It is important that each 1:1 device is handled with care. Please take a few moments to review THIS VIDEO with your child and discuss the importance of device care and usage.
Optional device protection is offered by the district to cover accidental damage to district-issued devices for students in grades 5-12. (All families that opt-in to the Optional Device Protection Program will see the fee posted within their child's Skyward Student account. Fees must be paid before your child’s district-issued device is covered.)
MISD Bus Transportation
Find My Bus
To determine the bus your student will ride and the estimated times of pickup and drop off, use the FIND MY BUS feature. Bus Locator Information
All riders will be expected to have a Smart Tag badge to scan on and off their school bus. Each student will receive a badge and lanyard by the first day of school.
With Smart Tag, parents are able to monitor their child's bus activity.
1. Download the Smart Tag app, sign up and check your email to authenticate.
Available on the App Store | Get it on Google Play
To register for the SMART Tag Parent Portal, families must have the following information ready:
- Their child’s student ID number
- Their child’s date of birth
- The school their child attends
Student Dress
Mary Orr does not allow biker shorts/spandex shorts to be worn.
SmartTag Badge - All Students....Every Day!
EACH student will receive a SmartTag badge on a lanyard and will be required to wear the badge at all times as part of their dress code. The badge provides access to a student's lunch account, library account and is to check in and off of MISD bus transportation. Mary Orr will provide 1 free replacement. Any replacement badges after that will be charged $5.
Attendance
Regular school attendance is essential for a student to make the most of his or her education— to benefit from teacher-led and school activities, to build each day’s learning on the previous day’s, and to grow as an individual. Absences from class may result in serious disruption of a student’s mastery of the instructional materials; therefore, the student and parent should make every effort to avoid unnecessary absences.
When a student is absent from school, the student—upon arrival or return to school—must bring a note signed by the parent that describes the reason for the absence. A phone call or an email from the parent may be accepted. Please send a note from the doctor for any medical related absences.
Email notifications should be sent to ShantelDennis@misdmail.org.
Personal Electronics Guidelines
Student cell phones and other personal electronic devices such as airpods and headphones should be turned off and stored securely in the locker during the instructional day, 8:30-4:oo. These items should not be out and used from 8am/entry to building until leaving at the end of the day. If you need to contact your child during the instructional day, please call the school at 817-299-5600. We are able to send messages to students. If a student uses a telecommunications device without authorization during the school day, the device will be confiscated. The parent may pick up the confiscated telecommunications device from the principal’s office for a fee of $15. Please see MISD's Personal Electronic Communications Guidelines here.
Skyward
Skyward Family Access is a web-based service that allows parents/guardians to view school-related information such as grades and attendance on their students. It is secured by a unique username and password to assure security and privacy.
