REMINDERS AND UPDATES FROM MRS. WOODALL
It's recruitment season, and our club officers are planning to make the 2024-2025 school year our best yet! If your learner is interested in getting involved, be sure to check out the upcoming interest meetings.
Parents, don't forget about the district events for opportunities to connect and support your learnerβs educational experience this school year! Parent University Workshops
Letβs CELEBRATE! If you have had an experience with someone at Frontier and want to give them a βshout outβ, please send me their name and a brief explanation. We would love to make someoneβs day! My email address is michellewoodall@misdmail.org
A Few Reminders:
- All learners and their parents must agree and acknowledge consent of the STEM Learner Handbook here by August 26th.
- Morning traffic has gone surprisingly well while we get new staff and drivers acclimated. Thank you for your patience. I promise, we will only get better! Insider tip, take the green route that you see here if you drop your learner off in the morning. You will enter by the fire station. I know it looks longer, but it really does move faster.
- Please, please, please do not stop and drop your learner off on Debbie Lane. This is a huge safety concern.
- We do not accept food deliveries for any learners, and this does include parents delivering food. We do not have the front office staff to manage this, it is a safety and security concern, and it does interfere with classroom instruction.

COUNSELOR'S CORNER
Mansfield ISD is proud to support college and career readiness by excusing college and career exploration visits during learners' junior and senior years. Learners can have two absences excused their junior year and two absences excused their senior year when they follow the process and submit the forms below to their assistant principal.
STEM SPOTLIGHT
Did you know that reading isn't just for English class? From decoding complex scientific theories to understanding cutting-edge technology, strong reading skills are essential in every STEM field. Whether it's diving into the latest research or following detailed instructions in a lab, reading sharpens your critical thinking and problem-solving abilities. So grab a book, article, or journalβevery page you turn is a step closer to mastering the world of STEM!
