2008-2009 School Calendar Survey

Gold

The Mansfield ISD Districtwide Educational Improvement Committee, made up of staff, parents, and community members, recently selected two options as finalists for the 2008-09 MISD School Year Calendar.

Mansfield ISD is seeking input through a survey to assist in determining which of the two options will be best for our staff, students, and school community. Take a look at both options and select the one you like by clicking the link below.

Thank you for assisting the district with this process. The survey will run through Friday, December 14.

If you have any questions/comments, please call 817-299-6345 or e-mail pio@mansfieldisd.org.

Sister Act and Students Bring Seuss to the Stage

Dr. SeussStudents from Mansfield and Legacy High Schools have created children's theatre productions at each campus based on Dr. Seuss books for elementary school students and the public. Sisters Melissa McIntyre-Craig (Mansfield HS) and Melanie McIntyre (Legacy HS) each teach Theatre Production classes at their respective campuses. The class is taught as a Children's Theatre class where students spend the first semester writing plays and adapting children's stories into plays. The students rehearse and build their sets, props, and costumes to perform for elementary schools wishing to bus students to the high schools during the block as well as for the public.

"This class is the highlight of my teaching career," says Melissa McIntyre-Craig. "I am so excited to see how my teenage students get some much joy from performing for the little ones and meeting them after the shows."
