Manor ISD 3:1 Parent Waiver Request

Click the button above to complete the form. Thank you for your support and engagement in the academic growth and development of our scholars. We appreciate you!!!

The mandatory tutoring required for students under House Bill 4545 states that students are to be in a group of no more than three students per one tutor. Manor ISD is asking you to provide permission for your student to receive tutoring in a group that is larger than three students. MISD is limited in providing sessions smaller than three students during the school day due to limited staffing. Please submit a separate survey for each scholar enrolled in grades 4-12.

La tutoría obligatoria requerida para los alumnos bajo el Proyecto de Ley 4545 de la Cámara de Representantes establece que los alumnos deben estar en un grupo de no más de tres alumnos por un tutor. Manor ISD le está pidiendo que proporcione permiso para que su alumno reciba tutoría en un grupo que es mayor que tres alumnos. MISD está limitado en proveer sesiones más pequeñas que tres estudiantes durante el día escolar debido al personal limitado. Por favor, envíe una encuesta separada para cada académico inscrito en los grados 4-12.

Student Parking Permits

Big picture

Any student that is driving on campus, you will need to purchase a parking permit. Please come to the front office to pick up a form to complete. You will also need to provide a valid driver's license, proof of insurance and $20 cash only. See Mrs. Arellano during all lunch periods, and before or after school.

College, Career, Military Ready

SAT Registration Dates and Deadlines are attached. To obtain a SAT Fee Waiver, all seniors are to use the following process:

The process for a senior (preference over juniors) to obtain a SAT fee waiver to use to register for an upcoming SAT is the following:

1. Email Senia Deshay (senia.deshay@manorisd.net) and copy Patricia Reyes (patricia.reyes@manorisd.net) and Melanie Henson (melanie.henson@manorisd.net) and ask if you are eligible to receive a SAT fee waiver and to request a SAT fee waiver if you are.

2. Ms. Deshay will verify if you qualify for a fee waiver in Skyward. If you are eligible, Ms. Deshay will assign a fee waiver code to you and email it to you.

3. You will use the fee waiver code to register for the appropriate SAT.

4. You can use the same SAT fee waiver code twice - you can retake the SAT one more time at no cost. You can only get one fee waiver your junior/senior year. You do not get one your junior year to test twice and one your senior year to test twice. You get one SAT fee waiver and can use it to test twice.

5. The student may not give the fee waiver code to anyone else.

Please contact Dr. Melanie Henson, CCMR Advisor/Coordinator at melanie.henson@manorisd.net if you have any questions.


SAT Registration Dates and Deadlines: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jjT_o-DzrJ6130shVx8Hvcvm_h2xOFpM4yx7OgoS_-8/edit?usp=sharing


Seniors need to email Dr. Henson at melanie.henson@manorisd.net and set an appointment to discuss their senior and CCMR requirements for graduation. Whether the senior is interested in college, career, or the military, every senior will do at least one application, apply for scholarships and for financial aid.


Contact Dr. Henson at melanie.henson@manorisd.net or text 254.913.2853 to begin senior requirements for graduation.

I will never allow other people’s opinions of me to become my reality


I AM SOMEBODY!


I will "Make An I.M.P.A.C.T."

I will live my dream because...

I am powerful
