2025-2026
We are excited for our upcoming spring field trips! If you would like to chaperone and help supervise a group of students (in addition to your own child), a background check will be required. The great news is that once you complete this background check, you’ll also be cleared to volunteer at our campus for future events.
If you are attending the field trip but will only be with your own child at a public venue, a background check is not required.
Morning Drop-Off
-
Have your child ready to exit the vehicle (backpack on, good-byes said, buckles unfastened when you enter the unloading zone).
-
Our staff will assist your child safely to the sidewalk—please remain in your vehicle to keep the line moving.
Afternoon Pick-Up
-
Please stay in your vehicle; staff will bring your child to you.
-
Use our designated buckle-up areas to pull forward and secure car seats and seat belts before leaving campus.
-
Thank you for being patient and respectful with staff and other drivers—we promise to move as quickly as little legs can go.

Did you know you can track your child's school bus in real time! 🚌📍
Parents and Guardians, we'd like to remind you of a helpful tool to make your mornings and afternoons a little easier! You can track your child's school bus live to see exactly where it is at any moment.
It's simple:
- Visit: https://sites.google.com/southsideisd.org/transportationdepartment/samsara-gps-bus-links
- Click on your child's Bus Route button.
- Instantly view your child's bus location in real time.
No more wondering if the bus is around the corner or still on its way -- you'll have latest updates at your fingertips!
At Menchaca, we use ClassDojo to share important campus updates, reminders, and news.
Teachers also use ClassDojo to communicate directly with families about classroom events and announcements.If you have not already joined, we kindly ask that you connect with your child’s teacher on ClassDojo. This will ensure you receive all important information from both the classroom and the campus.
Thank you for staying connected and supporting your child’s success! ❤️
We’re introducing weekly theme days to boost campus spirit and showcase our unity:
Let’s make our building colorful, spirited, and fun all week long!
School Day: 7:10 AM – 2:50 PM
Attendance is a key factor in student success—even in Pre-K and Kindergarten. Every day counts! When students are present, they build routines, strengthen friendships, and develop a love for learning.
Students who miss even two days a month can quickly fall behind.
Establishing strong attendance habits now prepares our little ones for lifelong success.
Together, we can build a culture where every day matters!
