2020-21 UIL Realigns Districts Across All Classifications

Every two years, the UIL realigns districts across all classifications, a necessity as new schools open and other schools get bigger or smaller. MISD's 5A schools were most directly affected: Poteet dropped from 5A Division I (big schools) to 5A Division II (small schools) and will join a district with eight Dallas ISD schools. West stayed in 5A Division I and will play in a district that includes recent state champions Longview and Highland Park. The three MISD 6A schools will play in a district that is nearly identical to the previous two years, with the exception being Longview is out and Skyline is in.

New Security Procedures for All Events at Mesquite ISD Facilities

Mesquite ISD values the safety of its students, staff and patrons above all else. The district regularly reviews its safety protocols to ensure our facilities are as safe as possible for all who use them. As a result of such review, additional security measures will be implemented for after-school events at all Mesquite ISD venues (gyms, stadiums and campuses) effective Friday, Jan. 31, 2020, and going forward:

All students in grades 6-12, including non-Mesquite ISD students, must present a valid student ID to enter any event.
No one may enter basketball games after the start of the fourth quarter.
Backpacks will not be allowed at Mesquite ISD events.
Elementary students will not be admitted without adult supervision.
Mesquite ISD reserves the right to request additional identification.

Additional measures are under consideration, and more changes may be announced in the future. Thank you for your support of Mesquite ISD in these efforts.
