Mindset News
WBA is teaching our scholars about Mindset. It is important for you to be aware of what it is, why it's important, and how you can support it.
Here are more images depicting how the brain works when we feel BIG emotions and breathing exercises to help our prefrontal-cortex to get back in control. These are great strategies for all ages (and adults)!
Have you taken the survey yet?
ALL parents are encouraged to share feedback by completing the MISD Parent Satisfaction Survey. The survey is open Jan. 13 through Feb. 18. The results from the survey help us with goal-setting and campus improvement. You can find the survey here. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2019-20MISDParentsurvey
Toy Drive Update
The Toy Drive is going great! Our scholars have been so very generous in their giving. Currently, we have collected about 900 toys!!!! What an amazing blessing we are going to be able to give to the Mansfield Mission Center at the end of the month.

Volunteer/Chaperone Requirements
If you foresee that you will do any volunteering on campus or attend a field trip as a chaperone, you must complete a background check. This is a requirement in MISD. A background check must be completed EVERY YEAR. A completed check will apply to all MISD schools, but it is very helpful if you choose Willie Brown Academy when you apply. If you have not completed a background check for this school year (beginning July 1), you will not be able to volunteer or attend a field trip. https://www.mansfieldisd.org/parents-students/campus-volunteers
