Yesterday, Snyder High School had the opportunity to host a luncheon for SISD School Board Members as a token of appreciation.
Culinary students prepared a menu of Creamy Tuscan Chicken with Homemade Pasta, Mediterranean Greek Salad, Kelton's Lemon Cake (a.k.a. Lauren's Luscious Lemon Cake), Tea, & Lemon Water. Everyone was served by NHS members.
Education and Training students wrote a book about the School Board Members, made table decorations, and created a Photo Booth.
Evergreen - SISD Research and Retail Greenhouse provided plants for each member to take home, along with a personalized wooden plaque created by alumni with the assistance of our Construction and Art students.
Teaching, practicing, and reinforcing good habits is essential in elementary school. Snyder Primary School embraces the "7 Habits" to teach kids skills that will help them not just be successful students, but all-around great human beings!
Habit heroes are a way for teachers to recognize their students who have been following the seven habits throughout the week. When a student is nominated, they get a special leader buck, a leader stick, and they get to sign their name on the habit wall of fame. Ask your kids about the 7 Habits to learn more!
Let’s celebrate the latest round of GOAL GETTERS!
These fourth and fifth-grade students set their sights on a goal and succeeded!
At Snyder Intermediate School, part of our vision is to celebrate academic excellence and goals to provide a roadmap to student success. We believe all students can grow, no matter their academic level.
Goal-getters are recognized after each unit test. Teachers set goals for students based on their previous year's STAAR performance to give students a target for growth. Students learn the importance of setting goals and the work required.
Daily assignments and exit tickets provide a window into day-to-day understanding, but unit tests provide a deeper perspective of comprehension and retention. Ask your child about their goals. Be sure to look beyond the overall letter grade and regularly check your child's test grades in Skyward.
Together, we can help your child achieve their best. As always, reach out to us with any questions or concerns.

Snyder Primary School has finally received the ribbons and metals for the UIL students who placed! We are so proud of these students and their hard work and dedication! Thank you for supporting them along the way! 🎗️🏅🧠♥️
Students are RACING through their work! However, the goal is not to finish first; it's all about the details. Throughout the district, teachers are working with students on the RACE method.
Gone are the days of just multiple choice and true/false questions. Students must demonstrate that they understand and can explain concepts through what the education world calls an extended constructed response (ECR).
R: restate the question
A: answer the question
C: cite your evidence
E: explain your answer
Introducing the RACE strategy to students can help them become better writers. It enables them to organize their thoughts and express their ideas more effectively. Additionally, it promotes critical thinking skills. This strategy can be applied to different types of writing tasks, including but not limited to short responses, paragraph writing, or longer compositions. It is also useful in all subjects!
Parents, you can help us reinforce this concept at home. If your child is working on homework, ask them about the RACE method and encourage them to take their time.
As always, if you need help supporting your child or have concerns, contact your child's teacher. We're here to help!

Join us Tuesday for Snyder High's Winter Wonders! Enter through auditorium doors and follow the path of snowflakes to the library. The reception will be from 5-7pm January 23rd.
Stay for a while or pop in between basketball games. Come support your local young artists and vote for your favorite pieces!
Partner work in the Pre-K Dual Language class is very important. Students are working on sequencing the nursery rhyme Hey Diddle Diddle.
Mrs.Thamez’s first-grade class has been learning about adjectives. They practiced describing their classmates using bucket-filling adjectives written on sticky notes! How can you fill someone's bucket today?
Cold weather calls for indoor recess in Mrs. Solis' classroom!
We want to inform you of an incident at Snyder Intermediate School today. A teacher found what was initially thought to be a gun in a student’s desk. The teacher contacted the School Resource Officer and an administrator, who investigated the situation immediately. After examination, it was found to be a toy gun. No students were in danger and no threats were made.
While we are relieved this was not a real firearm, it serves as an important reminder of the times we live in. Toy guns can look real. Not only can they cause panic, they can put the person holding the “toy” in danger if it is perceived to be a real firearm.
We take all safety concerns seriously and will respond swiftly. Being vigilant and keeping communication lines open will help keep our schools safe.
Congratulations to the newly “tapped” students for the SJH National Junior Honor Society! Selection was based on academic standing and careful consideration of each child's commitment to scholarship, service, leadership, character, and ctizenship.
MAP testing is this week throughout the district. You've heard about it, but what does MAP testing look like? Here's a peek into a first grade classroom and some comments from Mrs. Thamez. "We discussed our goal for the test and why it’s important to do our best, before we began." Since this is an adaptive test, it adjusts to each student's individualized goals. Mrs. Thamez continued, "Every student that meets their goal will get to eat in the classroom with me!"
Mrs. Leija's Dual-language students paired up to read, reflect, and write about the contributions Martin Luther King Jr. made to our society. In the dual language program, students often work in pairs, each using a different colored pencil to show their work and formulate responses in both English and Spanish.
District play continues at HOME for the Tigers! See you in the stands!
