*****UPDATE*****
Beginning Monday, September 13 our campus will be closed to visitors.
Our scheduled events - grandparents’ lunches (September 14-16) parent night (September 14), Fitness Friday visitors, and Friday lunch visitors will be paused. Our goal is to keep students attending school in person and during the current COVID surge we feel it is in the best interest of our students/staff to close to visitors. We will reopen to visitors once our COVID numbers go down and this surge passes. Please call 903-569-5488 or email rayj@mineolaisd.net with any questions or concerns.
Thank You ALL for Your Understanding!
Mrs. Ray
MPS Principal
Reminder: No school on Monday in observance of Labor Day. We will see our Little Jackets on Tuesday, September 7!
Morning Arrival Procedures:
In the morning, please do not park in the drive lane. The drive lane is designed for students to exit the vehicle and come in to the building. If you wish to walk your student to the door, please park in the parking lot and do so, but avoid parking in the drive lane. We have staff on the porch from 7:30-7:45 to assist students if needed, so please pull all the way up. We are proud of our Little Jackets and the independence they exhibit during morning arrival!
September 1 is fast approaching! Don’t forget to sign up for our 1 mile Fun Run or 5K as we support one of our Little Jackets through his leukemia battle. Please call if you have any question! It will be a fun, colorful time!
PS - KONA ICE will be on there, too!

While we know our students are ready to meet their goals and are well prepared, there are a few ways to help at home. Make sure students get a great night of sleep the night before, eat a healthy breakfast, arrive to school on time with all they need, and refrain from picking students up early. We will be a closed campus those two days. Please contact your student’s teacher with any questions.
Our students are goal diggers and will rock their end of the year assessment!
