Owl News: Week of December 5th

Message from Mr. Mendez, MRE Principal
This past week was a great one!! Thank you for joining us for our Night at the Museum Event, Burger King Family Night, National Elementary Honory Society Induction Ceremony, and at the Horizon Lions Club Christmas Parade. This allowed us to showcase our GT and Upper Grade Scholars as well as our Cheer Team. MRE and #TeamSISD take pride in providing endless opportunities to our scholars.
It is very important your child is in school these next two weeks. In comparison to the rest of the district's PK schools, we are ranked in the low tier. This is something that our learning community can do much better in. We will have additional drawings and incentives for our scholars who do make it to school and we'll have Loss of Credit (LOC) sessions for those scholars who have lost credit or are close to during the month of January. We can do it Owls! Let's make it count one day at a time!

No Tardies Please! School Starts at 7:30 AM!!
We will begin documeting arrival times for scholars that report to school past 7:45 AM. There is minimal traffic by 7:30 AM at our school, therefore, there should be no reason for your child to arrive late. Remember, your child depends on you in order for them to get to school on time.
Frequent tardies are also subject to disciplinary measures as indicated in SISD Student Handbook.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Reporting Absences to MRE
If you need to report an absence, our PEIMS Clerk will be able to assist you. Our team will be receiving the email to help assist you. I will forward all of your messages to the classroom teachers so they are aware of the absence.
Email: attendancemissionridge@sisd.net
Please include as much detail as possible:
- Child's name
- Grade
- Teacher
- Student ID
- Reason for the absence
All notes will be collected via this email as well. Be sure to include details in the note as the child returns to class.
This year, the district will not quarantine scholars. We will treat COVID like the flu. Be sure to get a note from the doctor to return to school. With a doctor's note, these absences will be excused absences and still accumulate towards loss of credit.
If they have a doctor’s note, it must be included in the email as an attachment.
You can also go to this email address to get the attendance note to submit:
MRE SEL Lessons
Our counselors, Ms. Heredia and Ms. Peralta have prepared Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) lessons for our scholars and teachers. We will work daily to support their needs as we re-connect and help them adjust to life's daily challenges. Let's all practice patience, kindness and empathy as we all do our very best! Our theme for the month of December is: JOY
