To say it has been a busy summer is an understatement! We are super excited for the first day of school tomorrow and are looking forward to seeing our returning students and meeting new ones.
Just a reminder, car lines will be much longer the first couple of days of school. Leave a little early, anticipate delays, and allow a little grace along the way. If you see something we can make better, please let us know and we will certainly work hard to improve.
Temporary signs are in place at the new Primary School until permanent ones are placed, so please be mindful of this as well.
Finally, we appreciate ALL of your support and we are looking forward to another great year at Mineola ISD! Thank you for the opportunity to serve as your Superintendent.
My best,
Cody Mize
Superintendent of Schools

NEW- Recent communication with the Texas Board of Nursing (BON) indicates the need for school nurses to have a signed physician order to administer over-the-counter OTC medication to students. ALL medication (Prescription and Over-the-counter) will require a completed MISD Physician Authorization/ Parental Consent for Medication form OR an order from a healthcare provider before it can be given at school. This includes any as-needed medication your child may need throughout the year (for aches/pain, stomach discomfort, cough, etc.). The order can be either a signature on the medication form or another written order.
If your child has a medical condition that requires an action plan (asthma, allergies, seizures, diabetes, etc), please have your healthcare provider complete the form/plan prior to the first day of school. MISD Physician Authorization/ Parental Consent for Medication forms are available by contacting your school nurse.
Please contact your school nurse with any questions!

As summer temperatures rise, one Mineola High School student is completing an internship with Ramirez AC and Electric to continue advancing the skills he learned in his HVAC and Electrical Systems course during the year.
Keep up the great work Hector Rodriguez! Hector will graduate from Mineola High School next May and plans to one day manage his very own HVAC business.
