The beginning of a new school year is exciting for everyone involved—students, parents/guardians, and teachers alike. While it brings a fresh start, new friendships, and new learning opportunities, it also brings the need to reestablish or build effective routines. Whether you are a student adjusting after a long summer break, a parent helping your child get organized, or a teacher setting the tone for the year, intense routines create the foundation for success.

As the doors of our schools swung open this week, the energy and enthusiasm were palpable. The first week back to school at Mesquite ISD was nothing short of a success, and we are thrilled to share some of the highlights with our incredible community of parents, staff, and supporters.
