Huskies in the Know
September 10-14
Cancer affects millions of people each year, and Mansfield ISD wants each person affected to know that they do not stand alone.
MISD is continuing its Colors for Caring initiative to visibly show community support for a loved one who is battling or has battled cancer.
On the first Monday of each month in the 2018-19 school year, Mansfield ISD is encouraging the community to wear a color that represents a cancer that affected the life of a loved one. (View a cancer color chart here.)
The Colors for Caring Days for 2018-19 are:
- Monday, September 10
- Monday, October 1
- Monday, November 5
- Monday, December 3
- Monday, January 7
- Monday, February 4
- Monday, March 4
- Monday, April 1
- Monday, May 6
Be sure to share your Colors for Caring pictures by emailing them to info@misdmail.org or using the hashtag #ColorsforCaring on social media.
All of your #ColorsforCaring photos will be added to the district’s photo gallery.
We look forward to everyone’s participation!

Mental Mondays During Husky Time
This Monday, students will focus on the Power of Affirmations (how to give affirmations both verbally and written) The remainder of the year, students will write Husky Affirmations to staff members and to their peers.
Students will watch a video about affirmations, brainstorm on how to begin an affirmation, and then write an affirmation to themselves. On Tuesday, students will write another affirmation to a current or former teacher. We will deliver these to those individuals.
Please ask your child to share his/her affirmation that he/she wrote to him/herself on Monday!
Friendly Reminder about Students Arriving Before 8:00 AM
Icenhower staff begins their duty day at 8:00 AM. Students who are dropped off before 8:00 AM will not be supervised.
The school day ends at 4:00 PM. Please make sure your student is picked up in a timely manner.
School-Wide Reading Initiative!
Icenhower will be embarking on a School-Wide Reading Initiative where all student will be required to read a certain amount of books from several genres for the school year (more to come on this exciting adventure)!
Our teachers are building their classroom libraries to give students a wide variety of books to choose from, and any books you no longer use would be greatly appreciated!
You can drop off your donated books in either the front office or give them to your child's Language Arts teacher!
Arrival and Dismissal Procedures
Please follow the arrival and dismissal procedures. Parent drop off and pick up is in the FRONT this year, and these procedures MUST be followed to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Everything will go much smoother if everyone follows the correct procedures! Dropping your child off on Collins and/or in the drive to the front is NOT safe!!!!
Students arriving prior to 8:00am are outside and unsupervised until 8:00am. At 8:00am, students enter the building and report to the gym or to the cafeteria for breakfast. The tardy bell rings at 8:30. Students not in class at this time will report to the office and sign-in as “tardy to school.”

This is ME!
This is ME!
"But I won’t let them break me down to dust
I know that there’s a place for us (…)
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I’m meant to be, this is me!"
