At approximately 3:11 pm, Marfa ISD was contacted by the Marfa Police Department about a possible active shooter in the city of Presidio. Marfa ISD went to a shelter in place (no in or out of the building and students remain in their classrooms) for approximately 10 minutes so that police could be present on campus in case of an emergency occurring here in Marfa. Marfa ISD was quickly notified of no danger and returned to normal schedule. As a precautionary measure, Marfa Police remained on campus.
Once again, Marfa ISD was just taking precautionary measures, the alert came from the city of Presidio. There was no danger in Marfa.
Celebrate the Shorthorns who have been working on Big Bend Conservation Alliance's lighting incentive program.
Cash prizes will be distributed to the four teams working on the project and we will celebrate with a star party with Allen Gilchrist from the Big Bend Astronomer's Club that will include a sky tour and telescope views of star clusters, Jupiter, Saturn, and the moon.
Friends, families, and faculty are all welcome for this celebration and night sky tour.
The Book Fair is next week!
Here's an easy way for students to pay for book fair purchases without fear of losing their money at school or over-dependence on teachers for guidance: eWallet.
Just go to www.scholastic.com/bf/marfaschools and you can set up an account which houses $$ for purchasing books during the book fair.
For questions, contact Marfa ISD Librarian, Crawford Marginot, at 432-729-5500.
Get ready Marfa High School!! We will be traveling to Fort Stockton tomorrow 9/29 for their annual college/career fair.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
MHS English I classes are participating in the annual Poetry Workshop with Chinati.
This year the class took a walking field trip to the Chamberlain building to observe artwork to creatively write. The classes will be working with Chinati to explore and write poetry which will be shared later on with their peers and families.
Get ready for a one-of-a-kind learning experience coming to Marfa Schools!
The @LearningUNDFTD Texas Mobile STEM Lab will be visiting our school from October 4-5, 2022. We’re so excited our school was selected for this traveling field trip, a #mobilelab that brings science, technology, engineering, and math right to our school parking lot.
We can’t wait for our students to see what’s inside!
