Dear Snyder Family,

I am sorry to release such sensitive information in this way, but I want to make sure that everyone is aware. It is with deep regret that we inform you about a death in our school community. Mays Villarreal, who would have been a freshman at Snyder High School this fall, was in a serious accident over the holiday weekend and died.

This loss will be felt throughout Snyder. Mays has family entering Pre-K, 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 10th grades next year as well as relatives and friends throughout the district and the community.

The family has informed us that visitation will be at Bell Cypert Seale Funeral Home on Tuesday from 6pm-7pm and the funeral will be held at East Side Church of Christ, Wednesday at 2pm.

During this time of sadness and grief, we will offer support to our students and staff. A virtual support group Zoom led by Snyder ISD counselors will be held at 1pm on Monday, July 6th. If we need to add additional meeting times, we will. Later this evening, we will send a Zoom meeting link to the email and phone number we have on file. If you have a child that was not his classmate, but knew Mays and needs support, please email acrist@snyderisd.net. The crisis text line is also available by texting “home” to 741741. You will be able to text with a counselor for free. To speak to someone over the phone, you may call the West Texas Centers Crisis Help line at 1.800.375.4357. We also have a list of counseling resources available. If you need additional support, do not hesitate to reach out to us.

We know you will join us in extending your sympathy and prayers for the family. We will make every effort to help you and your child through this difficult time.

Eddie Bland, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools, Snyder ISD

Correction: We have been notified that the staff member who we reported to have a positive COVID-19 test earlier today, was indeed negative. We are relieved to hear that this staff member has not tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.
We sincerely apologize for the error and confusion. We appreciate all of the concern for this individual. We are proud to be a part of such a supportive community.

On Thursday, July 2, 2020 Snyder ISD was notified a staff member tested positive for COVID-19. The employee worked on Wednesday, but in an isolated area of a SISD campus. There was no known contact with any other employees or students. The district has thoroughly sanitized the areas where the employee worked and the employee has been told to quarantine until released by a physician. Earlier this week, SISD suspended the girl’s athletic conditioning program due to a possible COVID-19 exposure, however this case is thought to be unrelated. The district remains steadfast in our commitment to ensure the safety of our students and employees and we will continue to follow CDC guidelines. Please visit the Scurry County Coronavirus Resource Page at scurrycovid.com or the CDC website for more information about COIVD-19.
