EXCITING NEWS OUT OF MUSTANGLAND: After completing their two-day choreography clinic with 365 Spirit, Ingleside High School Cheerleaders received individual bids to perform at the 2022 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. Help us congratulate this outstanding group from Ingleside HS Cheer, The Spirit Of Mustangland!

UPCOMING CHANGES FOR SCHOOL MEALS: It is important that we provide you with the most up-to-date information so you may plan accordingly for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year. As you may already be aware, the federal government allowed Ingleside ISD and many other school districts across our region to offer free meals to all students after Hurricane Harvey and during the pandemic. However, Congress did not extend this benefit for schools across the state for the 22-23 school year. This means that families that are eligible for free or reduced-price meals must apply to receive them, and all other students must pay full price for their meals. The application process for free and reduced-price meals opens on July 1st; at that time we will know what student meal prices will be set at. It is important that families apply for free or reduced-price meals during registration for their child prior to the start of school. The application will be included in the registration packet. If you have any additional questions, please contact your child's respective campus.

EYES IN THE SKY: **In our tour guide voice** "And if you direct your attention to the left side of Highway 361, coming into Ingleside from Gregory Portland, you'll notice we have some familiar faces on this billboard!"

We are so excited to have this opportunity to recognize the Ingleside High School Class of 2022 Top Ten Graduates!
