Quote of the week
"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change"
From Mr. Wingfield
I want to thank everyone that came out to our first annual CTE night. I went through the stations as a parent and I felt like there were a lot of good takeaways from everyone. As a district we always want to reflect and make changes to any endeavor in order to make it more efficient and meaningful. If you have any feedback for us feel free to share so that next year it can be even better. If you were unable to come, you can call the HS anytime in order to receive the information. We will be working with students in the coming weeks to get class requests and begin the process of scheduling for next year.
This week marks the end of the 2nd three week period of the 9 weeks. Students that are ineligible may regain eligibility. You may access your student's grades in the Parent Portal. If you are still not able to log in to Parent Portal, please call Mrs. Frederick in our MS office.
If you are sending anything to school for valentines day, please make sure there is no glass or balloons if your student rides the bus. This can be a distraction and visual impairment for the driver, and glass may break and create an unsafe environment for students entering and exiting the bus.
Thanks
Please look at every section below in order to get updates on events and/or any other pertinent information regarding Normangee MS and NISD.
In an effort to continually keep our students and campus safe, all parents will need to physically enter the building in order to check out your child for any reason. We will pull your child out of class when you arrive and have gone through the check-out procedures. Thanks for your cooperation.
If there is any other information you would like to receive through the MS Newsletter, please feel free to email me at jwingfield@normangeeisd.org
As always, if I can help in any way please let me know.

From the Bus Barn-New Bus Management System
The Transportation Department is in the process of changing over a new Bus Management System called Bus Right. This system will enhance student safety, streamline bus communication, and manage routes at the touch of a button. A GPS system will track the bus on it's route and provide real time information to parents, administrators and route drivers. Parents will have peace of mind receiving drop off and pick up information before and after school. The system should be online soon. In the meantime, below is the information needed to download the app. Once you set it up on your phone, the app will automatically start giving you information when the transportation department has it up and running. We will let you know when that happens.
