Mexia Independent School District

Homecoming week dress up days are in full swing!

Gifted & Talented Program Referrals (Due: October 13th)

Blackcats, mark your calendars for Homecoming Spirit week September 25th-29th!

This Friday, September 22, 2023 is the Battle of the River Community Pep Rally. The pep rally will begin at 1:00 pm at Blackcat Field. All parents and visitors will need to enter the stadium on the home side.

At Mexia ISD we are continually working to improve the quality of education for our students, to help do this we are engaging in a pilot program with ESC 12 and TEA known as Texas Strategic Leadership. Through this work we will be examining our district level systems, how they impact each campus, and ultimately determine what experiences our students are receiving. Better yet, what experiences we want them to receive as a result of what systems need to be strengthened, created, or removed as determined by this data and a process of strategic planning. As a parent, your input is vital to this process, and therefore we would like to invite you to complete this survey. All survey information is anonymous and will close on October 16, 2023 Use this link or QR code to access the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfY3WU2So4LA8083Ay_KgedWt5WigxAHHJjL-Wb-K-XhCx5RQ/viewform

August Student & Staff Awards

Good Evening Blackcats, Tonight, the Mexia ISD School Board approved a pay increase for all district employees for the 2023-2024 school year. The teacher pay increase is commensurate with years of service and ranges from $1,000-$3,200. All auxiliary employees including paraprofessionals, secretaries, bus drivers, custodians and cafeteria staff will receive a 3% increase in their hourly pay. Your efforts are definitely noticed, including all the hard work you put in behind the scenes, after hours, and on the weekends. Each of you are planting seeds in the minds of children that will produce a crop of knowledge that will be invaluable to them in life. A HUGE thank you goes out to each of you for your service to Mexia ISD! Also, THANK YOU to the MISD Board of Trustees for recognizing your commitment to serving the students of our district! It's a great day to be a Blackcat!! #TOGETHER

Good afternoon Blackcats, Mexia ISD was made aware of a social media post on Saturday, August 12, 2023, concerning a potential threat to Mexia Junior High.  District and campus administration immediately contacted Mexia PD. MPD is fully aware of the post and have addressed the situation. They determined this to be a false threat and at no time were any MISD students or staff in any danger.  Mexia ISD would like to thank the Mexia Police Department for their collaboration and ensuring everyone’s safety.  All MISD campuses will be open at regular time on Monday, August 14, 2023 ready to serve and instruct students as normal.

A BIG thank you to Northcrest Church of Christ for feeding our Mexia ISD staff during in-service. The loaded BBQ baked potatoes and cake were DELICIOUS and the cups are the perfect reminder to stay hydrated during these warm August school days. Y'all ROCK!!!

WELCOME BACK Mexia ISD Students.
