Valentine's Day is coming up and love is in the air! Parents, we know you want to shower your students with gifts of adoration, however, please keep in mind deliveries will not be sent to your student in the classrooms. This becomes a distraction to the educational environment. Deliveries will be held in the office at each campus or other locations if necessary and will need to be retrieved by the student at the end of the day.

Snyder High School will host the annual Sweetheart Coronation on February 12th. The event is open to the public and will begin at 8:15 am. Guests are asked to arrive on time and use the Worsham Auditorium entrance.

La nieve se está derritiendo rápidamente y seguirá mientras prosigue el día, pero con las temperaturas helando esta noche congelara las carreteras haciendolo dificil para conducir. Condiciones de carreteras congeladas causará que iniciemos clases tarde el Viernes 7 de Febrero, pero los Viernes ya son cortos y el comenzar tarde nos dará menos tiempo para instrucción. Por lo tanto Snyder ISD estará cerrada el día de mañana 7 de Febrero y volveremos Lunes el 10 de Febrero. No se han tomado un decisión de actividades extraescolares programadas para mañana.

Good afternoon SISD staff and families, We are rapidly thawing out this afternoon; however, the National Weather Service predicts temperatures to be well below freezing tonight. Icy roads will most certainly be an issue tomorrow morning and the safety of our students and staff takes priority. Since Fridays are shortened instructional days, a late start isn't a reasonable option. Therefore, SISD will be closed tomorrow and will reopen on Monday, February 10th. At this time a decision has not been made about extra-curricular activities scheduled for Friday. Stay safe, get well, and we will see everyone on Monday.

All incoming 9th grade parents are invited to attend one of the upcoming informational meetings. Parents will be enlightened on the opportunities ahead of your student as they enter Snyder High School. We look forward to seeing you!

There will be an incoming 9th-grade parent meeting at 6:00 pm @ SHS in the student center on Feb. 4th. The Student Center is located across from the visitor's seating in at Tiger Stadium. All incoming 9th-grade parents and guardians are urged to attend.

Good evening parents and guardians. On Friday afternoon, officials were made aware of a rumor circulating regarding a threat of violence at the Snyder Junior High's "Black Out" dance planned for Saturday evening, January 25th. The Snyder Police Department was notified and immediately began a full investigation into the rumor. After speaking with the student, the student's parent and a search of the residence, officers determined there was not a credible threat. The Snyder Junior High dance will take place as planned. As with other SISD events, Snyder Police will be on-site in addition to chaperones and administrative staff. We appreciate the vigilance of our Tiger community as the safety of our student and staff are the top priority.

On Tuesday, January 14, 2020, TEA Commissioner Mike Morath notified Snyder ISD of his intention to honor the parent petitions requesting he close Snyder Junior High. SISD believes we have proposed a strong plan, however, Commissioner Morath informed the district that he would not approve the proposed realignment plan that would create two educational pathways for our 2nd through 8th grade. The plan to realign grades and restructure academics has been the subject of multiple community meetings, staff meetings, and focus groups since October 2019. One criteria for reopening the campus was the campus must offer a significantly different academic program and is the commissioner’s decision that the proposed Inquiry-Based Learning Academy did not meet that threshold. Additionally, Commissioner Morath is appointing conservator, Keri Barnett, to the district. The role of the conservator is to monitor and report back to Commissioner Morath the district’s progress with regards to improving the academic performance of our students. The district has until no later than January 30, 2020, to submit a revised comprehensive plan for campus closure that will meet the statutory requirements and receive approval from Commissioner Morath. The options for reopening campus remain the same; signing an agreement with a Charter to operate the Junior High Campus, or reopen the Junior High with the majority of the grades different and a distinctly different academic program. The district remains steadfast in our commitment to provide the best education to our students. We will diligently explore all available options for our Junior High and our District. We will keep you informed as updates become available.

Due to scheduling conflicts, the January 16th meetings have been canceled.

We will share this informational video on the SISD social media outlets as well as the SISD website. Please help keep your friends and family informed by sharing this post.
