Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays! This is the time of year when we look back on the year and appreciate the good things in our lives.

2010 was an amazing year for MISD. From our outstanding athletic teams that went deep into the playoffs this fall to our Recognized district rating, we are so proud of the year’s accomplishments. Everything that we achieve we earn as a team. It takes all of us – at school and at home – working together to make good things happen.

We extend our appreciation to all MISD families and the entire community for the extraordinary support you give to our district and our outstanding students. We look forward to the great things that will happen in 2011!

Preparing Students to Succeed in a Digital World

One of Mesquite ISD’s goals is to infuse 21st century skills throughout the district, integrating technology as a tool for problem-solving and creativity. This summer, our principals had the privilege of working with Alan November, an internationally recognized expert in the area of preparing students to succeed in a digital world. With his guidance, we are incorporating key strategies into our classrooms so that students are able learn and develop critical skills using the most current technology.

In your opinion, what knowledge, skills and values will our community’s graduates need to function effectively in the interconnected world of the 21st century?
