February Panther Safety Series: Safety Starts with K...

Safety Starts with Kindness Some of the most meaningful moments of safety don’t involve emergencies or alarms—they come from everyday choices rooted in awareness, care, and respect for others. At Midway ISD, we believe safety is strengthened when students look out for one another and consider how their actions affect the broader school community. Why This Matters Kindness is more than being polite. It’s about: Thinking beyond ourselves Considering how actions may impact others Choosing solutions that keep everyone safe Everyday Ways Students Keep Each Other Safe Safety-focused kindness shows up in many small but powerful ways: Noticing when a classmate seems overwhelmed or out of place Checking in on a friend or offering support Choosing to be a buddy, not a bystander Speaking up to a trusted adult when something doesn’t feel right Students are often the first to notice when something is off. When they feel empowered to act with care and speak up early, concerns can be addressed before they escalate. How Families Can Support These Choices Families play a key role in reinforcing these values. We encourage parents and guardians to: Talk with students about expressing ideas respectfully and safely Reinforce the importance of following school expectations during the instructional day Encourage students to pause, reflect, and ask questions before acting Remind students that choosing safety is a sign of leadership, not weakness Working Together Moments like these remind us that safety is not just about rules or procedures—it’s about people making thoughtful choices. When students, families, and staff work together with empathy and awareness, our campuses remain safe, welcoming places where learning comes first. Thank you for partnering with Midway ISD and for supporting students as they learn to navigate complex issues with care, respect, and responsibility.  💙❤️ Stay safe, Panthers!  About the Panther Safety Series The Panther Safety Series aims to empower and support parents/guardians within our school district in fostering a culture of safety and awareness among students. Through regular communications and resources, we seek to encourage proactive discussions and education on a range of safety topics, ensuring that every child feels equipped to navigate their environment, whether at school, at home, or in the community, confidently and responsibly.

Midway ISD 2-Hour Delayed Start – Transportation Upd...

Dear Midway ISD Families and Staff, Midway ISD will operate on a  2-hour delayed start on Wednesday, January 28, 2026 . This delayed start allows our facilities and operations teams additional daylight to prepare campuses. While overall conditions have improved, some areas across the district may still experience patchy ice, and conditions may vary by neighborhood. Families are asked not to put students on a bus or bring them to campus until they have reviewed district communications Wednesday morning.  We will share transportation updates as early as reasonably possible. Please be advised that  areas of Woodway with steep grades—specifically between Bosque Blvd. and Hwy 6, and from Estates Drive to Hwy 84—should not expect bus service tomorrow . Families in these areas will need to make alternate transportation plans. Buses in other areas will operate two hours later than their regular schedules, and campuses will open two hours later than normal. Families should continue to monitor district communications for any route-specific updates. We recognize that weather conditions can vary across our community and that each family’s situation is unique. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use their best judgment when deciding whether it is safe for their child to travel to school.  The district will accommodate tardies and absences accordingly  as families make safety-focused decisions based on local conditions. We appreciate your patience and partnership as we prioritize safety and transition back to regular operations. Sincerely, Dr. Chris Allen Superintendent, Midway ISD

Weather Monitoring Information/Update

Midway ISD Families,  As we look ahead to Monday, we are continuing to monitor weather conditions closely and are in regular communication with local and regional weather and emergency officials. Current forecasts indicate very cold temperatures, and the potential for ice and/or snow. We do not anticipate making a decision until sometime on Sunday, unless conditions warrant making a decision sooner. We will communicate with families via ParentSquare. You can also monitor our website, social media and local news media for updates.  If conditions remain safe and we can ensure effective operation of campuses and buses on Monday morning, we will have school as regularly scheduled. If not, we will adjust as necessary. We know that for many families, school is a warm, safe place where students are cared for, connected to trusted adults, and have access to meals. For more information on how these decisions are made, please review our  Weather Procedures. We encourage families to begin thinking ahead and preparing now for Monday morning and how to get students to school safely: Dress students in warm layers, including coats, hats, and gloves Consider carpools or helping neighbors when possible If your child rides the bus, allowing them and/or other students to wait in a warm car until the bus arrives can help reduce exposure to the cold One of the things that makes Midway special is how connected our community is. If you know a student who needs a coat, help if you can. If a family needs support getting their child to school safely, let’s come together. As always, student safety is our top priority. We will continue to monitor conditions and communicate with families if plans change. Thank you for partnering with us and for taking care of one another. -- Dr. Chris Allen Superintendent, Midway ISD
