Melissa ISD will offer a series of informational meetings for parents and guardians as an introduction to the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) program. Led by the Teaching and Learning department, each presentation will last approximately an hour, with a thirty-minute Q&A session to follow.
The next IB Introductory Meeting open to all families K-12 is Monday, October 23, 2023 at the Melissa ISD Home Office.
Parents and guardians are strongly encouraged to attend one or more of the upcoming introductory meetings to learn more about the Melissa ISD IB program and the timeline for implementation. Information about the IB program can be found at http://www.melissaisd.org/ib.
The goal is for Melissa ISD to become an IB-accredited public school district, with programmes available at all levels. Plans are currently underway to begin introducing the Primary Years Programme at our elementary schools, a process which can take several years. Both Melissa Middle School and Melissa High School are in year two of their authorization process and anticipate accreditation visits next year. Once the authorization process is complete, Melissa students will be able to add the prestigious IB Diploma to their list of graduation options.
