Message From MRE Principal, Mr. Mendez

Happy Sunday MRE Parents,

We're so glad to see our scholars once again after the Winter Break! We were able to get a nice and smooth start to the second semester.

We have a nice, solid month of instruction planned out for the month of January. This is probably the most important marking period of the school year as we are able to really work hard with our scholars so we can see growth. This month, we will be conducting middle of year (MOY) inventories in reading and math for our lower grade students. For our upper grade students, we will continue preparing them for their STAAR test in April.

Please help me in congratulating our 23-24 Teacher of the Year, Coach Delgado, when you see him before/after school. Congratulation Coach Delgado!!

IMPORTANT

Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our attendance goal for MP2. We have set a new goal for MP3 (96%). I understand our scholars may get ill but if they are healthy, please send them to school all day, every day. Thank you for your support in this matter.

This week, we have the following:

After School Learning Camps (Tuesday & Thursday)
Coffee with Principal

Please continue reading newsletter for additional info on these and other activities/info.

Have an #Owlsome week,

Jesus Mendez

MRE Principal

Be Up to Date With Your Child's Grades Through Skyward

Skyward provides you with live information in regards to your child's grades. If any questions, please reach out to your child's teacher.

MRE Uniform Policy

Car Pick Up Signs/Cards

Car Pick Up Signs/Cards are required for the Pick Up Lane. Please ask your teacher if you don't have one. For cards, have them available so we can expedite your pick up. For signs, please place your sign on the passenger side so we may see it at a distance to ensure your child is ready for you when you pull up to the assigned pick up.

IMPORTANT: Bus ID Badges

Parents,

VERY IMPORTANT: If your child is scheduled to ride the bus, please read the following:

Verify you child has a bus ID
If no bus ID, you must stop by the campus to obtain one ($5 replacement fee if you have misplaced it or has damage)
If using transportation services, please stop by the campus to sign consent to allow your child to be dismissed by boarding the bus.

SOCORRO ISD ROLLS OUT RIDE 360 BUS ROUTE TRACKING APP FOR INCREASED STUDENT SAFETY

The Socorro Independent School District is introducing Ride 360, an app that allows a streamlined flow of communication for parents when their child rides the bus.

The app uses GPS data and allows parents to see their students’ bus route information as they travel throughout the district. Parents can access their child’s secure data for bus stop location, route and pick up time, including when and where their child boards and exits the bus.

The app also allows push notifications from the transportation department to inform parents of pickup and drop-off schedules, delays, accidents, changes in bus assignments and other important information.

Parents can download the Traversa Ride 360 app on the App store or get it on Google Play.

For more information, contact the SISD Transportation Department at 915-937-0600.

To learn more about Ride 360 and how to download the app, visit https://www.sisd.net/o/sisd/page/ride-360.

Skyward Parent Portal

The Socorro Independent School District is implementing Skyward Family Access for parents and students for the 2023-2024 school year. Skyward Family Access will replace the Tyler360 portal.

Skyward Family Access is an easy-to-use website that allows parents and guardians to access information about their students, such as attendance, grades, assignments, schedules, progress reports and report cards. Skyward Family Access is available on any device with an internet connection.

Skyward Family Access is now available to students and parents. Click here to learn more about how to use Skyward. Information also will be shared with parents via email.

SISD appreciates parents’ patience and understanding during the transition to Skyward Family Access.

MRE Attendance Reminders

We know our students will become ill throughout the year. For this reason, it is important that when our students are healthy, they are attending school every day. Lost instructional days do not only impact your child's education but also the education and dynamics of all students in the classroom. For this reason, MAKING EVERYDAY Count is critical for the success of your child and all students on campus.

The state of Texas holds administrators and parents accountable for attending school daily. At 5 absences or tardies, you will be asked to have a meeting with administration to make sure we are working together to educate your child. Please help support our teachers by bringing in your children ready to learn. We thank you for making attendance a priority.

When your child is out, you can email a personal note and/or doctors release to: attendancemissionridge@sisd.net
