Parent Grade Portal: Students in all grades took home parent letters last week with information explaining how to set up parent portal and the student portal for access to students’ grades. Please be sure that when setting up your portal you are going through the Mumford Website and clicking on the parent link. Here is the link for quick access. If you have any questions please contact Cathy Vaughn at the school.
DoJo - New Method of SCHOOL-WIDE Emergency Announcements and Information: As a parent you have probably been receiving notices from Class DoJo to join your child’s classes. You are getting these messages because Mumford has adopted the DoJo program as its method to send out SCHOOL-WIDE emergency announcements and important information. These messages will be sent from the administrative staff at Mumford ISD. If your child is in grades PK – 2 teachers do use Class DoJo as a form of teacher/class communication. However, grades 3 – 12 will NOT use Class DoJo as a form of class communication. Please don’t message and reach out to your child’s teacher using DoJo. Instead, these grades use things like assignment notebook, conduct charts, emails, Remind App, etc. to communicate. If you have any questions, please reach out to the office.
Honor Forms: If you want to take honors and are in grades 9 - 12, come by the HS office and pick up an honors form. These are due to Ms. McDonough by this Friday, August 28. If you have signed up for honors but have decided to drop any honors class you must bring a letter (signed by your parent) by this deadline expressing that you would like to drop the honors class.

Digging Stars Registration Forms: If your child is going to participate in Digging Stars this school year, please have them turn in their registration forms and money by Friday, August 28.
Pep Rally: We will have a pep rally on Friday, August 28, at 2:30. Letter jackets are here and ready to be presented to the students! Parents, please note that if you want to take your child out of school on pep rally days and you want them to attend the pep rally they will need to sit with you. If you want to check out your child to leave campus then you need to do so before 2:15. If you are concerned you won’t make it before 2:15 then send a note or call the office prior to have them wait up front for you to arrive. Once students are at the pep rally it is too difficult to have them checked out from that location. Thanks for your help with this.
Cross Country Meet: Our JH and HS Cross Country teams did a great job last Saturday and will be running again this Saturday. Come out and cheer them on at the Caldwell meet on Saturday, August 29.
Lunch Applications: It is extremely important that parents complete and return the Lunch Applications provided by through the National Lunch Program. This form helps determine if your child will be allowed
to have FREE or REDUCED meals. All parents need to fill out this application, as meal prices continue to increase with price of food items increasing. We would like as many kids as possible to be able to take advantage of this program. Students that qualify for reduced meals will be given breakfast and lunch FREE all year. The paid price for meals is lunch: $3.25 and breakfast: $1.80.
Glasses, medication and other Essentials for Learning: It is VERY important that we start the year off right for our students by providing them with all the essential items they need for learning! Not only do students need to come to school with supplies like paper, pencils, glue sticks, they also need to be sure and bring with them their prescribed eye glasses, hearing devices and needed medications so that they can hear, see and be focused on lessons presented in class. If your child’s glasses or hearing devices are out of date and new ones are needed, please be sure to take care of this and get your child to the doctor. The nurse will be doing screenings soon, and will be sending out notices with students who need to have follow up appointments with their doctors. Together we need to be sure students are getting what they need to be successful!
TEA Ratings Released: Congratulations to Mumford ISD for receiving an A RATING! This is TERRIFIC! Our HS also received an A and our Elem received a B. The ratings earned are from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for 2025-26 school year. TEA provides schools with an A-F score to reflect their overall performance based on student achievement, school progress, and closing achievement gaps. Mumford also received many distinctions which means they performed at the very top of schools that have similar demographics. Distinctions were earned in academic achievement in ALL possible subjects, top 25% in closing the gaps and academic growth, and post secondary readiness. Congratulations to the staff, students, board members, and parents on this accomplishment! You can find specific ratings and details on the official TEA website at TXschools.gov.
