Hall Happenings

Hall Families,

I hope you and your family have had a wonderful summer filled with time to relax, recharge, and make memories together.

As summer winds down, I want you to know that our staff has been hard at work preparing for an outstanding school year. Throughout the summer, our teachers have dedicated time to strengthening their instructional practices, collaborating with one another, and planning engaging lessons that will help every student grow I'm especially excited about the work our entire Math Department has accomplished. They have spent countless hours learning, collaborating, and planning together as we implement a new math curriculum this year. Their commitment to providing high-quality instruction and meaningful learning experiences for our students has been inspiring to watch.

At Hall Middle School, our goal is simple: to ensure every student is challenged, supported, and known. Whether your child is joining us for the first time or returning for another year, we are committed to making this a year of academic growth, meaningful relationships, and memorable experiences. I cannot wait to welcome our students back into the building. The energy, excitement, and sense of community they bring are what make Hall such a special place.

Stay tuned over the next several days as we begin sharing important back-to-school information, key dates, and campus updates. All of our communication will be sent through ParentSquare, so please be sure to check your account regularly to stay informed and connected.

Thank you for trusting us with your children. We are once again excited for the opportunity to partner with your family and look forward to an incredible 2026–2027 school year.

See you soon!

Sean Kenny

Weatherford ISD and its campuses use ParentSquare to communicate with families through email, text, phone call and app messages!

With ParentSquare, families can choose what methods they want to receive communication through. By default, all families will receive digest – or recap – email and text messages at 6 p.m. daily, eliminating the clutter caused by dozens of messages.

All families are sent registration emails at the start of the school year, but parents/guardians can also register without this message. Families may visit www.parentsquare.com/signin to register with either the email or phone number they have on file with their child’s school.

• Students will receive their school supply lists from teachers during the first week of school.
• Students should bring paper and a pen/pencil for the first day of school.

Dear Parents/Guardians:

The state of Texas has set requirements for students entering the 7th grade. Immunization requirements are mandatory for school attendance in public schools. They are outlined in both the Immunization Requirements of the Texas Department of State Health Services and the Texas Administrative Code. Students will not be allowed schedules for middle school classes in August of 2025 until vaccines are current, received and verification given to the school.

The requirements for 7th graders are as follows:

• Meningococcal Vaccine – one dose
• Tdap – one dose within the last five years

* If your child is currently up to date on immunizations, please send us the most recent copy of their immunization records. This may be emailed, faxed or turned into the campus nurse.

Email: amyers@weatherfordisd.com OR kmitchell@weatherfordisd.com

Fax: 817-598-2854 attention to nurse clinic

If your child has an immunization waiver, please check with your campus nurse to make sure it is up to date. In the state of Texas, a waiver expires every two years and it can take up to two weeks to receive a new waiver. If the waiver is not up to date, notarized and the original copy turned into the nurse your child will not be allowed to enroll.

The Parker County Hospital District is offering the required vaccines.

Please call (817) 458-3254 to receive information.
