Principal and Asst. Principal's Message

Principal: Shelma Brackett

Dear Parents and Guardians:

I am so honored and excited to be the new principal at MIS.  I have spent the last 29 years in education, helping students become the best adult they can be.  My goal always when working and making decisions for your student, is about helping them become the best future young man/woman they will be, which starts now.  I know the teachers here at MIS will continue to strive to make our school a community that encourages all students, teachers, and staff to succeed together. In order for this to happen we know that we need you to be an integral part of your child’s education.  We are a Tribe, with one purpose, and that is to do our very best to ensure that all students succeed, and nothing less. Keep an eye on our school’s website, Tribe Class Dojo, and Facebook page for important information and announcements. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach me at school (442-2454). I am truly honored to serve as your principal.

 

Sincerely,

Shelma Brackett

Principal
