Good afternoon! Yard signs ordered from the Snyder Junior High Parent Teacher Organization are ready for pick up. Yard signs can be picked up today and tomorrow from 4:30 to 6:30 at the junior high school gym entrance.

Snyder Junior High is rolling awesome achievement sticks to recognize student academic efforts in the classroom!
JH students proudly display their achievement sticks on their backpacks and lanyards! These make great parent/student conversation pieces as well! Be sure to ask your student how he/she achieved their specific stick. Congratulate your student on his/her success and their collection is likely to increase! #webelieveinSISD
Snyder Junior High Parents:
If you received an attendance call this morning, please disregard it if you know your child is at school. There was a mistake made and we are resolving the issue. We apologize for the interruption in your day. Thank you.
An eagerly awaited meeting with Snyder ISD leadership and the TEA Commissioner came to fruition in Austin today. Eddie Bland, Ed.D., Superintendent of Snyder ISD, Ralph Ramon SISD Board of Trustees President, and Brad Hinton, SISD Board of Trustees Vice President, met with Commissioner Mike Morath to discuss sanctions against the district for Snyder Junior High’s academic rating. Texas Education Code §39A. 112(b) allows for parent petitions to direct the Commissioner’s decision. On October 31, 2019, Dr. Bland was presented with 313 petitions, a sufficient number to require the closure of the campus. In addition to the parent petitions for closure, Dr. Bland was presented with 486 parent and community petitions supporting the reopening of Snyder Junior High with a grade realignment.
The petitions will be delivered to the Commissioner no later than December 1, 2019. The next step will require SISD to develop and submit a comprehensive plan to reopen the campus, with the majority of the grades realigned.
“These next steps will require planning and partnership," states Dr. Bland. "We look forward to collaborating with parents, teachers, district leadership, community members, and the TEA to do what is best for our students."
