Superintendent's Update
I am sure many of you share my respect and gratitude for the SISD teachers. Teachers choose a career in education for a variety of reasons, but a common thread is their love for kids and a desire to help them succeed. SISD teachers, we are proud of you and are so glad to have you on our team! During teacher appreciation week, please take a moment and say thanks to our teachers. Parents, you have added the role of teacher to your other responsibilities, and we appreciate you as well.
Several of you have asked about retrieving personal items at school. We are working on a plan for students to pick up any items they may have on campus. With over 2,500 students in the district, coordinating a safe and efficient item pick-up is a top priority. If you have an urgent need, please contact your child's school, and we will be glad to work something out with you.
Last week, we finalized the contract between Responsive Education Solutions and SISD to manage Snyder Junior High School. As we learn more about plans for the junior high, I am encouraged and excited for next year. Incoming Junior High Students (current grades 5-7) will need to complete an elective request form by May 8, 2020. The form is linked below in the newsletter.
Based on Governor Abbott's Reopen Texas Plan, the question was raised about large group gatherings. We have contacted local and state officials for clarification and are awaiting details from the Governor and TEA. We are exploring the possibility of a live graduation ceremony at the football field in addition to the parade, and we should have an answer sometime this week.
The current plan is to hold a graduation parade with a stage for seniors to cross along the parade route. Participants and spectators are asked to follow social-distancing and other health and safety guidelines. A photographer will be present to take photos, and the event will be broadcast live. As soon as we receive more information, rest assured, we will provide you with updates.
Thank you for all you are doing to support your children, the community, and Snyder ISD.
Eddie Bland, Ed.D.
