Ingleside ISD is excited to partner with the Cities of Ingleside and Ingleside on the Bay for the Coastal Bend Lemonade Day Program! This opportunity is open to all elementary-aged students in our community—not just Ingleside ISD students.
Students can complete the program at home or attend optional facilitated sessions with Mrs. Tracey Moya at Ingleside Primary School (June 8–11 & June 15–18, 12:30–1:30 PM).
After completing the program, students will bring their ideas to life on Lemonade Day, Saturday, July 11, by running their own lemonade stand or small business!
This is a fun, hands-on way for students to learn about entrepreneurship, money management, and leadership.

Thank you for the difference you make in the lives of our students each and every day. From helping students find their voice to building confidence in communication, your dedication, patience, and compassion leave a lasting impact far beyond the classroom.
Join us in thanking our amazing Speech Pathologists for the care and commitment they bring to Ingleside ISD every day. 👏✨

Below is an excerpt from the nomination that was submitted on her behalf.
"Mrs. Shugart goes above and beyond because she loves her job and she shows it every day by making sure each of her students are well cared for and feel comfortable going to school everyday.
Being a Pre- K teacher can’t be easy because some of these kids go in not having any structure and she provides that for them. She is so patient with her students. With my son, she has constantly communicated with me throughout the year about worries I’ve had and has taken her personal time to follow up with me and make sure my worries have been resolved. She takes the time to communicate what our children are doing in her class and gives us updates about events constantly.
We are all so beyond grateful for the opportunity to have her as a teacher. She deserves to be recognized for her passionate heart for teaching, her patience for her students, and the joy she’s able to give these children by loving her job. It really makes all the difference.”
We encourage you that if you witness an employee who goes above and beyond and demonstrates actions or qualities that are worthy of celebrating, to tell their story and help us recognize them! The nomination form is located on the district website at www.inglesideisd.org ,under the 'About Us' section of the Menu.
Congratulations, Mrs. Shugart! We're so happy you're a part of the Family at IISD.

We were proud to gather alongside our students, staff, school board, and community members for the ceremonial groundbreaking of our future tennis courts. This exciting milestone reflects the shared vision and commitment to providing top-notch facilities for our Mustangs.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this moment and to those who continue to support the growth of our district. Your support of Bond 2025 is helping turn these opportunities into reality for our students, both now and for years to come.



Our bus drivers are often the first smiling face our students see in the morning and the last one they see in the afternoon. Rain or shine, they go above and beyond to ensure every child arrives safely, greeted with kindness and care along the way.
You are an essential part of our Mustang family, and we appreciate all that you do!
If you see a bus driver today, be sure to give them a wave or a heartfelt “thank you!” 👋
