Superintendent's Message
A Message from Superintendent Layton
We had a lot of wins last week in athletics. We enjoyed watching all the Tiger teams playing. Playoffs are around the corner for several groups, and we look forward to them advancing.

Middle School will have Sweetheart Night at their game on Tuesday night, and High School will have the Homecoming game on Wednesday! Friday night the MHS Varsity Volleyball Team will have Senior night to honor the senior players.

Progress reports go out on Thursday.

Please remember that the District is closed this Monday in observance of Columbus Day. I hope all the staff and students enjoy the extra day off, all of you are working hard, and you deserve it!

The District has started the process of putting together a long-term planning committee. We will use this committee to determine future needs and continue to help our students and staff succeed. The administrative team is also examining the current schedule we are using because of Covid-19. Please check our website and social media outlets this week for any changes.

If your student is struggling with the on-line platform, we encourage you to contact your campus principal.

Please remember to social distance and wear a mask at all athletic contests. We want all the Tiger teams to have a full season. We wanted to thank everyone for their patience in these difficult times also.

It's always a great day to be a TIGER!

Board Member Jerry Spiva shared this idea with us. What a great way for the employees of MISD to receive the thanks they deserve!

Flexibility
Homecoming Week
Football and volleyball are both working on earning playoff spots. Cross Country will be having their District Meet soon. We are enjoying successes in athletic competitions. Now we have Homecoming this coming week. Everyone is excited and ready to enjoy and participate in the activities for the week, such as the PowderPuff game. 

Academically, progress reports will be coming out this week. I encourage parents to check on their child’s progress. Students need to know where they stand and what they need to do to meet their own expectations. Therefore, I urge them to communicate with their teachers as much as is necessary. 

Looking forward to a great week!

Better Together
MES is still rocking along. We started the first round of RTI meetings last week and into next week. The students are making tremendous progress and we are so proud of them!

I want to thank all of our parents/guardians for being so prompt in bringing your children to school on time. We are noticing fewer and fewer tardies. THANK YOU!

The winner of the first Monday Funday, Color Wars is...a TIE.. Red and Blue. Monday, October 19th, we encourage students to wear either RED or BLUE to see which color will win! 

Reminders:
Parents please complete the student screener on Sunday night. 

4th and 5th graders, please remember to bring your mask to school every single day. We have some extras but we are noticing an increase in numbers of students forgetting their mask. 

We encourage all parents/guardians to send their children back to school. Teachers have been working extremely hard to provide quality instruction however this is not the same as being in the classroom receiving instruction face to face. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Mr. Robinson or Mr. Miller.

We always do BETTER when we are all TOGETHER!!
