GRIT ASSEMBLIES
We are so excited to get back to in person GRIT Assemblies! During these assemblies, we will recognize our Mindset Award winners.
We have these in the cafeteria at 8:00 and they are typically wrapped up by 8:20. They take place the last week of the month, 5th grade will be on Thursday and 6th grade will be on Friday. If your student is receiving an award the teacher recognizing them will contact you and invite you to the assembly.
We look forward to having parents and families back in the building to celebrate our amazing students!
Drop-off and Pick-up
Our traffic flow is doing great! Just a reminder, after the triangle median you can make 2 lines. Then, at the cone we merge back into one line. This allows us to clear 15th street off.
Thanks again for being patient and kind!

- FROM THE COUNSELORS
Hello!
Meet Mrs. Robertson Weber-
This is my 18th year as a school counselor in Mustang. Experience includes many years at the elementary level and a couple of years at MEC which is a combination of Alternative Ed High School, half day PreK and additional special programs. My husband and I have been married ten years and between us have five incredible children. Three of them are Mustang High graduates with a senior and freshman soon to be graduates. It's a great day to be a Bronco!
Meet Mrs. Seibert-
Hello! I am Mrs. Seibert. I have recently transitioned from the classroom to school counseling. I have taught 6th ELA in Mustang for 7 years. My children have all grown up in Mustang and have been Broncos all their lives. I have 5 children and one step daughter. I look forward to being a part of your child's success.
Counselor Classes will focus on helping students get to know themselves including their preferred learning style, (visual, auditory or tactile modes of learning), academic success strategies including study skills and making friends.
Small Groups
Support Groups are not individual therapy but designed to help provide coping skills for big feelings that are associated with life changes.
- Calm Waters support group - Facilitator comes to school during the day to assist students that have experienced loss through death, divorce, foster care, incarceration, deployment etc.
- Journey of Hope - Trauma support group - Trauma of any kind support group recovery.
