What is Back to School Blast?

Our mission is to provide items and services to equip families with what they need for a positive and successful school year. Each year we hold a Back to School Blast event where we hand out free backpacks, school supplies, shoes, socks, haircuts, eye exams, and more! The event is open to any Pre-K thru 12th Grade student regardless of the school district he/she attends.

MFES Parent Survey

Thank you for taking time to provide feedback to our staff about your family's experience at Marble Falls Elementary!

Ways to Get Involved

There are many ways for parents and families to get involved at Marble Falls Elementary! Depending on your interest and availability, we would love to partner with you! See below for some of our ways to get involved.

Parent/Teacher Organization (PTO)

MFES has an amazing PTO! These volunteers help raise funds that help enrich the lives of our students and staff. PTO meets approximately once a month and helps organize fundraisers, helps organize fun family engagement events like Trunk or Treat and Spring Fling, and provide enrichment, supplies, and appreciation/recognition for students and staff!

Campus Educational Improvement Committee (CEIC)

MFES has an active CEIC that takes the Board and District vision paired with our campus needs to develop and review a Campus Improvement Plan (CIP) each year. This group is made up of parents, teachers, and community members. The CEIC meets 4 times per year to review progress towards goals and look forward for growth and improvement for the following school year.

Education Connection / Reading Buddies

MFES has an outstanding core of volunteers consisting of parents, community members, and retired staff that give up an hour or two a week to read to students. This program is a tremendous blessing to our students, but all of our volunteers would also tell you that it is a bright spot in the adult's week as well! Education Connection helps with scheduling, training, books, and all!

Parents on Patrol

MFES and MFISD have been ahead of the game when it comes to campus safety and security. One popular program that we're bringing back this year is Parents on Patrol! This is an opportunity for parents to volunteer as much or as little time as they have available to help monitor campus safety. From perimeter checks, door checks, and just being eyes and a visible presence, Parents on Patrol help add just one more layer of safety and piece of mind to our students, families, and staff.

Other

If none of these structured programs are of interest to you or work with your schedule, we would love to see you at other campus events throughout the year. Here are some opportunities to connect with the campus throughout the school year:

Meet the Teacher
Open House
Grandparents Day
Parents in PE
Trunk or Treat
Thanksgiving Lunch
Donuts with Grownups
Spring Fling
Picnic with Parents

STAAR Results

Parents of students in grades 3-5,

Your child took the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®) earlier this spring, and your child’s results are now available for you to view. The state assessment is one of many ways to measure student learning. Teachers will use STAAR results along with other information to support your child’s learning in the new school year.

Beginning June 14 for STAAR grades 3–8 assessments, you will be able to access your child’s STAAR results by logging into Skyward Family Access. After logging in, you will see an icon labeled Texas Assessments. This will take you directly to your child’s STAAR results, which will include detailed information for each test question, identifying your child’s strengths as well as areas where your child may need additional support. Families have shared that seeing which questions their child got right and wrong has been the most useful. You will also see easy-to-use resources to help your child focus on the skills they most need help with and can work on at home.

Su hijo rindió las evaluaciones de preparación académica del estado de Texas (STAAR®) a principios de esta primavera. La evaluación estatal es una de las muchas maneras de medir el aprendizaje estudiantil. Los maestros utilizarán los resultados de las evaluaciones STAAR junto con otra información para apoyar el aprendizaje de su hijo en el nuevo año escolar.

A partir del 14 de junio en cuanto a las evaluaciones STAAR para 3.° a 8.° grado, ustedes podrán acceder a los resultados de las evaluaciones STAAR de su hijo iniciando sesión en Acceso Familiar a Skyward, conocido en inglés como Skyward Family Access. Después de iniciar sesión, vera un símbolo etiquetado Evaluaciones de Texas. Esto los llevará directamente a los resultados de las evaluaciones STAAR de su hijo, que incluirán información detallada para cada pregunta de los exámenes, identificando tanto las fortalezas de su hijo como las áreas donde quizás necesite apoyo adicional. Las familias han compartido que lo más útil ha sido ver qué preguntas sus hijos respondieron correcta e incorrectamente. También verán recursos fáciles de usar para ayudar a su hijo a concentrarse en las habilidades con las que más necesita ayuda y en las que puede trabajar en casa.

Arrival / Dismissal

Be reminded that going through the car line is how we drop off and pick up our students other than Pre-K 3.

Arrival

Have your child on the passenger side of the vehicle
Make sure all items are packed and in the backpack (folders, water bottles, etc.)
If you are delayed or your child is having difficulty exiting the vehicle, pull up to the striped zone past the cones.

Dismissal

Make sure whoever picks up your child has a car tag
Make sure car tags are written in bold dark letters and are placed in a visible location for us to see. Keep it up until your child is in the vehicle
If you need to buckle your child or make other adjustments in the vehicle, pull up to the striped zone past the cones
If your child doesn't come out when you first pull up to the cones, pull forward to the striped zone past the cones so that we can keep the line moving while we locate your child
