From the Principal

We are officially in the year 2022! That is so surreal to me! I pray everyone has had a safe, healthy, and joyous holiday break. I'm looking forward to the spring semester...this is the time we see our kiddos really grow--physically, academically, socially, and emotionally. I love the second semester because of this. You will see great progress this semester and it will fly by! As a reminder, our students return to school on Wednesday, Jan. 5th. See you then!

Arrival & Dismissal Reminders

I realize we have new families with us, so I am attaching the arrival & dismissal procedures below. Here's a video about dismissal. Please be kind to our staff. They are outside every day ensuring your child gets in/out of the building safely. Please comply with our procedures.


Reminders:


  • Students walk to class on their own
  • No dropping off/picking up in the front unless you have a special tag
  • No going to the office between 3:25-3:45 to pick up your child because you don't want to wait in the car line...you may wait in the office until remaining students are brought to the office around 3:45-3:50
  • Anyone picking up a student must have a 21-22 car tag...you will be redirected to office if you don't have one
  • Students should be in class at 8:00
  • Remain in your cars

District Pandemic Update

MISD sent out a communication earlier this week regarding the current situation of the COVID-19 Omicron Variant. The district is closely monitoring the pandemic situation. Please remember that MISD has several health and safety protocols that have been in effect since the beginning of the school year to provide a safe learning environment. These health and safety protocols will remain in effect as staff return on Jan. 3 and students return on Jan. 5.

The COVID-19 advisory level system and COVID-19 dashboard page are other layers of mitigation that have been put into place for the health and safety of the community. There are also free COVID-19 testing and vaccination sites all across Tarrant County that can be utilized.


MISD administration is continuously monitoring and assessing the situation surrounding COVID-19 and will remain in talks with authorities and health experts. As the situation evolves, the district will continue to keep staff informed.


Thank you for your support as we work together for the safety of the Mansfield ISD community.

Staff Changes

We have had quite a few staff changes during the year and have a couple more to add. Our new receptionist is Kay Austin. She began the week right before winter break! She has learned a lot already! Please be patient with her as she learns our technology, policies, and procedures. Our new PE para is Austin Roth. He, too, started right before the break. We are so glad he is here and we know he will make a difference for our Jr. Jags!


Sadly, we are losing Ms. Patranzino. We're sad to see her go but happy she will get to be near her babies again. Friday is her last day. Show her some love this week.


We have already found her replacement. Her name is Elizabeth Ortega. She will start on Monday, January 10th.
