Campus Improvement Plans may sound a little technical, but they serve an important purpose: turning student data and community feedback into clear goals for each campus.

At the recent Snyder ISD Board of Trustees meeting, Assistant Superintendent Jaime Miller and campus principals presented the 2026–2027 Campus Improvement Plans. Each plan outlines campus needs, student performance goals, improvement strategies, and specific actions connected to the district’s Strategic Plan.

These plans will guide campus work throughout the school year. Progress will be monitored, and plans may be updated as student needs and data change.

Students in grades 6 through 12 are helping shape conversations across Snyder ISD through the district’s 2026–2027 Student Ambassador Committee.

The Snyder ISD Board of Trustees recently met the first group of this year’s Student Ambassadors. The committee gives students a direct way to communicate with district leaders, share their experiences, identify concerns, and help develop solutions.

Student Ambassadors meet monthly with district leaders to discuss what is working well across the district and where students see opportunities for improvement. These conversations allow leaders to hear directly from the students most affected by district programs, practices, and decisions.

The committee includes students from different grade levels, backgrounds, interests, and activities across Snyder ISD. This broad representation helps ensure that district leaders hear and consider a variety of student experiences and viewpoints.

The Student Ambassador Committee supports Snyder ISD’s commitment to meaningful stakeholder engagement. Listening to students helps the district better understand their needs and make informed decisions about their educational experiences. The ambassadors will also have opportunities to contribute to district projects and share ideas throughout the school year. Trustees met the first group of committee members during the September Board meeting, and Snyder ISD will continue recognizing additional Student Ambassadors as their work progresses.

By creating a consistent place for students to speak openly with district leaders, Snyder ISD is helping students understand that their voices matter and that they can play an active role in improving their schools.

Snyder Primary School students shared how they are turning leadership lessons into service during the Campus Spotlight at the September Snyder ISD Board of Trustees meeting.

Lightbeams sponsor Mrs. Porta attended the meeting with three student members and introduced trustees to the group's purpose and goals for the 2026–2027 school year.

Lightbeams extends Snyder Primary’s 7 Habits and Lighthouse Committee work by giving students opportunities to practice leadership through service. The group’s guiding message is, “We shine our light by leading through service, kindness, and example.”

Members aim to spread positivity and motivation among fellow students and throughout the Snyder community. Their work allows students to practice communication, responsibility, service, and leadership while serving as positive examples for their peers.

Goals for the school year include:

Reading to younger students
Volunteering with the Snyder Senior Center and JETS
Continuing to work with the Sparkle City Cleanup
Speaking during school assemblies
Assisting during parent nights
Modeling the 7 Habits for other students

The student members demonstrated those leadership skills during their presentation as they spoke to trustees about their plans and the difference they hope to make.

Through Lightbeams, Snyder Primary students are learning that leadership is not limited by age. It can begin with reading to a younger child, helping during a school event, caring for the community, or choosing to lead others through kindness and example.

Snyder ISD appreciates Mrs. Porta and the other Lightbeams sponsors for creating opportunities for students to serve, grow, and put the 7 Habits into action. The district also congratulates the students who represented Snyder Primary during the Campus Spotlight.

With high temperatures expected, Snyder ISD is taking additional precautions to protect students and staff during athletics, marching band, physical education, recess, and other outdoor activities.

Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, the University Interscholastic League requires schools to use Wet Bulb Globe Temperature, or WBGT, to guide outdoor athletic and marching band activities. Unlike the temperature in a standard forecast, WBGT considers air temperature, humidity, direct sunlight, and wind to measure heat stress more accurately.

WBGT readings are often lower than the regular air temperature, but the two should not be compared directly. A lower WBGT reading may still indicate dangerous conditions requiring significant changes to outdoor activities.

Snyder ISD is in UIL’s Class 2 region. Required precautions increase when the WBGT reaches 79.7°F. Depending on conditions, practices may require additional rest and hydration breaks, limits on equipment and conditioning, or reduced practice times. Outdoor practices and workouts cannot be held when the WBGT reaches 89.8°F or higher.

Practices may be moved to earlier in the day, shortened, modified, or relocated indoors or to a covered facility. Campuses will also use current conditions to guide decisions about recess, physical education, and other outdoor activities.

The Perry Weather Monitoring System installed atop Grant Teaff Tiger Stadium provides real-time local weather information, including WBGT readings, and alerts staff when additional precautions are needed. Readings are monitored before and throughout outdoor practices. Students have unrestricted access to water, required breaks are reserved for complete rest and hydration, and rapid-cooling equipment is available when needed.

Families can learn more and view the current temperature and WBGT reading at snyderisd.net/weather

Another full week of listening, learning, supporting, and moving Snyder ISD forward!

Monday was spent at Junior High and High School supporting campuses. We also finalized Adopt-A-Tiger and met with Big Country Electric as we continue working towards a solution for Junior High. The evening included a meeting with Snyder Primary PTO!

Tuesday included time at Primary and Intermediate, planning for our new Student Ambassador Committee, and several meetings focused on supporting students, staff, and district systems.

Wednesday was our first Instructional Rounds of the year! One of my priorities is creating opportunities for our School Board members to see and understand what actually happens in classrooms each day. We also included members of our executive leadership team because decisions made in an office ultimately impact teachers and students in classrooms. (More to come on Instructional Rounds in a separate post!)

Thursday we held our first Principal Meeting and Assistant Principal Meeting of the year. We focused on strengthening expectations and systems connected to our four Strategic Plan pillars: Students, Staff, Stakeholders, and Stewardship. The rest of the day was filled with meetings (including Oncor, who is our electrical distribution company at 3/4 of our schools) and work around several important district priorities.

Friday provided time to celebrate Jaylen at the Scurry County Texas 150th Anniversary Flag Ceremony and finalize my Superintendent Year 1 Plan, reflecting on where we are and where we need to go next.

Behind every week are countless conversations, adjustments, and problems being solved across our district. I’m grateful for a team that continues to listen, respond, and keep students at the center.

And our Tigers were busy competing and representing Snyder all week!

Snyder High School was the campus spotlight at this month’s Board meeting, featuring the new Tiger Stars Dance Program.

In its inaugural year, the program has already drawn impressive participation. The Tiger Stars are preparing to perform at pep rallies, football games, competitions, and special events.

Led by Hailey Hurst and assisted by Katherine Kraatz, students shared how the program has helped them become more involved and feel connected as Snyder Tigers. Many participants also compete in other sports and activities, while others said they have found their niche through dance.

The program is also offered at Snyder Junior High, giving younger students an opportunity to develop their skills and become part of the Tiger Stars program.

Snyder ISD is pleased to share its final 2025–2026 accountability results. The district earned an overall score of C (71), with an increase of 5 points overall from the previous year.

The results show areas of growth across Snyder ISD.
• Snyder High School improved 6 points, earning an overall score of a B (80).
• Snyder Junior High improved 6 points, technically earning a D (61) but are “capped” at an F (59)
• Snyder Intermediate increased 4 points, earning a D (69.3).
• Snyder Primary decreased, earning a D (67).

It is important to provide additional context for Snyder Junior High’s rating. Due to accountability rules, the Junior High earned a 61 but is “capped” at a 59 due to the TEA Accountability Handbook. Even with the cap, the campus demonstrated 6 points of overall improvement from the previous year.

We are extremely proud of the progress reflected in these results, but we also believe there is still work to be done on behalf of our students and teachers. We are continuing to focus on strong instruction, student growth, and systems that drive success for our entire organization.
