Parent Survey

As a part of our educational improvement planning, Mansfield ISD Administration is conducting its annual survey to gain important feedback on how you rate your child's education.

The data from last year's survey was carefully reviewed and necessary enhancements were made in our curriculum and instruction. As we continually strive to address your needs, we ask that you complete our 2007-08 school year survey.

Go to the 2007-2008 MISD Parent Survey.

Summer School, Testing and Programs

Summer SchoolThe Mansfield ISD will offer summer school, testing and programs for grades pre-k through high school.

A dedicated page has been created and will be the updated online resource for MISD 2008 summer session information.

Weird Science? No, just Inquiry Science
a closer look Video Series

Inquiry-based Science VideoMISD is dedicated to encouraging enthusiasm for learning. We have chosen to begin highlighting various aspects of the district, including curriculum and instruction, through online videos.

Our first video in the series is Inquiry-based Science. An old adage says, "Tell me and I forget, show me and I remember, involve me and I understand." See how inquiry-based instruction is helping students learn.

Visit this and a few other videos in the new video archive and look for more videos in the coming months.
