Happy Sunday MRE Parents,

We are starting the fifth week of instruction of MP3 this week!! Super excited to celebrate our Counseling Team this week. Please let them know how much you appreciate all they do for our Owls and community. This week, our G3-G5 scholars will be administering the 6WK Checkpoint for all subjects. This time, it's a district generated assessment. We want them to do well. Very important they are in school so we don't lose time in make ups. All other grade levels are busy with daily instruction as we continue to work on closing gaps and getting our scholars ready for next year.

IMPORTANT

Unfortunately, we were not able to meet our attendance goal for this week. However, we were able to maintain our attendance average compared to last week. We have set a new goal for MP3 (96%). I have challenged our scholars in being in school by providing a Pizza Party incentive to the whole grade level that reaches the 96% attendance goal. Please help them to get this incentive. Last week, our 4th Grade scholars met the challenge and this week, our 3rd Grade scholars have met challenge. 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:

• National School Counselor Appreciation Week
• Black History Month Activities
• After School Learning Camps (Tuesday & Thursday)
• SISD GT Family Fun Night
• G5 Basketball Schedule

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

Have an #Owlsome week,

Jesus Mendez

MRE Parents,

Please use link below for STAAR resources for your child, such as online practice and STAAR released tests. You can also view your child's STAAR history and additional resources based on their strengths or weaknesses. Please contact Ms. Sandra Aguirre, MRE Asst. Principal and Campus Testing Coordinator, for additional questions/assistance.

Progress Reports are available this week. As a reminder you can also access through your Skyward App. Please reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions/concerns in regards to your child's grades.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
