REMINDERS AND UPDATES FROM MRS. WOODALL
Happy Friday, Trailblazers!
I’m bursting with pride for our Juniors who tackled the ACT with focus and determination on Tuesday—and are now soaking up the sights in Memphis! From Rhodes College to the Pinnacle Mountain State Park, Museum of Science and History and more, they’re making memories. Next up? Spending the night at the zoo. Let's see if Mrs. Goodson enjoys that more than Mrs. Martinez did last year!
Can you believe Thanksgiving is just two weeks away? That means it’s time for Toys For Tots! No one does it like Mansfield ISD. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 2nd from 5:00–9:00 p.m. at The Center. Start bringing in new, unwrapped toys for donation to room B202. Let’s show our community that while we may be small, our hearts are mighty!
Please be reminded that stopping on Debbie Lane to drop off or pick up your learner in front of the school is strictly prohibited.
We have observed multiple rear-end collisions caused by vehicles stopping on this busy road. While following school traffic patterns may take a few extra minutes, safety must come first.
Please note that Debbie Lane falls under the jurisdiction of the city, not Mansfield ISD, and local police have begun actively patrolling the area to enforce traffic laws and issue citations.
Please use the designated campus drop-off and pick-up zones to ensure the safety of all learners and drivers. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to keeping our community safe.
Wishing you a fantastic weekend!
These are on sale FOR REAL now! We sincerely apologize for posting the incorrect date. The link is due to open on November 6th. Please reach out to Mrs. Eskridge at AshleyEskridge@misdmail.org with any questions.

Launching Soon: Ignition, the First Phase of a New Texas Aerospace Experience for High School Seniors!
Texas Aerospace Scholars (TAS) is an immersive STEM learning opportunity for Texas students, designed to inspire the next generation of explorers through direct engagement with NASA’s missions and STEM career pathways.
The new senior experience begins with Ignition, a 10-week online course focused on developing technical skills associated with NASA's Artemis missions and future lunar surface operations. Students will investigate topics such as lunar infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, habitat systems, and dust mitigation while developing skills in computer-aided design (CAD) using Onshape, an industry-recognized platform. Through research, design challenges, and collaboration, students will gain hands-on experience solving technology gaps related to establishing a sustainable human presence on the Moon.
Applications for Ignition will open November 9.
