A colorful afternoon at Snyder Primary School!
On Thursday, SPS hosted its Student of the Week/Month Celebration for the last six weeks. A total of 57 students were invited to participate in the special recognition event.
Students had the chance to celebrate their hard work and positive example while getting creative. Art Teacher Mitzy Young led the group in a fun tie-dye bag activity, giving each student a chance to design something unique to take home.
It was a bright and joyful way to recognize students who are making a difference on campus. ❤️
Many sticks closer!
Snyder High School Health Science students held a phlebotomy clinic yesterday to sharpen their skills and practice blood draws as part of their preparation to earn their phlebotomy certification.
The Health Science program is a strong pathway for students interested in exploring careers in healthcare. Through hands-on learning and real-world practice, students build the skills and confidence needed to work in medical settings.
Upon successful completion of the program, students can graduate from high school with their phlebotomy certification. That certification can open the door to immediate employment after graduation or serve as a stepping stone toward further education and opportunities in the healthcare field.
Teachers who completed the mini benchmark window received a sweet surprise today with a Minnie Mouse–themed delivery of mini donuts. It was a fun way to celebrate wrapping up an important checkpoint in the school year and bring a little “happiest place on earth” energy to campus.
While the celebration was lighthearted, the work behind it is meaningful. Benchmarks provide teachers with valuable insight into what students understand, where additional support may be needed, and how instruction can be adjusted to help every student succeed.
A little celebration for a job well done and important work that helps guide learning in the classroom.

Although School Resource Officer Appreciation Day was officially Sunday, we made sure our SROs felt the appreciation first thing this morning. ☀️
SHS Tennis Update 🎾 Another strong showing for the Tigers!
Sarah battled her way to a 2nd-place finish, falling just short to Randall High School’s No. 1 singles player, who qualified for state in Girls Doubles last year.
In the consolation finals, it was an all-Tiger matchup. Bea and Anna faced teammates Avery and Cerise in a competitive battle that showcased the depth of our program. Bea and Anna came out on top, but it was a win for the whole team seeing Tigers push Tigers.

A little gift of time is headed our way.
Just a reminder that there is no school on Friday or Monday in observance of the Presidents' Day weekend.
We hope our students and staff enjoy a few extra days to rest, recharge, and spend time with the people who matter most. Whether that means catching up on sleep, heading out of town, or simply slowing down at home, we hope it’s a good reset.
We will see everyone back on Tuesday, ready to learn and lead. 💛

We are proud to recognize our Snyder Primary School Minga Leaders of the Month!
Minga is used districtwide, with age-appropriate incentives and responsibilities across grade levels. At Snyder Primary, it helps us celebrate students who model positive behavior and live out our Leader in Me habits each day. Students earn points for demonstrating leadership, responsibility, teamwork, and kindness.
Minga also keeps families informed when improvement is needed, strengthening the partnership between school and home.
We are proud of these students for the example they set and the leadership they show in our classrooms, on the playground, and in hallways.
Keep up the great work!
Reminder! Friday, February 6, 2026, is a professional development day for staff. There is no school for students.
Yesterday, after students had been dismissed, a report was received at the Primary Campus regarding a student who was reported to be carrying a gun.
A law enforcement officer who was already on site immediately responded and searched the student’s backpack in the parking lot. The item was determined to be a toy gun (Orbeez, per the officer) that had been painted black. No firearm was found.
Campus administration and law enforcement responded promptly. The district continues to work closely with law enforcement, and any consequences will be handled in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct.
We want to be clear that this situation was taken seriously and addressed immediately. We also ask families to partner with us by talking with their children about safety and the importance of never bringing toy guns or look-alike items to school or school-related events. Items that resemble weapons can create fear and confusion, even when they are not real.
If you see something, say something. If there is an immediate concern, contact campus administration or law enforcement right away. For non-urgent concerns, reports can be submitted at www.snyderisd.net/stopit.
The safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority. Thank you for your continued support and vigilance as we work together to keep our schools safe.
It's opening night for the SJH Theatre production of "Wiley and the Hairy Man"!!!
Our students have worked countless hours to create a fun show for all. We want to invite all of you to see our magical performance tonight or tomorrow at 6 pm!
Doors open at 5:30. Admission is free. Donations are welcome.

Snyder ISD continues to closely monitor weather and road conditions as we plan for Wednesday, January 28. At this time, no final decision has been made. District leadership is actively evaluating options and plans to provide an update by 5:00 pm today.
Several factors are still at play, including the extent to which roads have been cleared and treated, surface conditions, and air temperatures throughout the afternoon and evening. Brief periods above freezing and any sunshine can help improve road conditions. However, those improvements can be temporary and depend on how much progress is made before temperatures drop again. Forecasts currently indicate temperatures falling back below freezing tonight, which may lead to refreezing, particularly on bridges, shaded areas, and less-traveled routes.
Our operations team continues working throughout the district, monitoring conditions on campuses, clearing parking lots and sidewalks, checking facilities, and addressing any issues as they arise to ensure buildings are safe and ready for students and staff.
As we evaluate our options, we carefully consider bus route and bus stop safety, staff driving in from out of town, teen drivers traveling to and from school, the wide range of vehicles families rely on, student access to meals and warm facilities, the impact schedule changes have on families, and instructional time for students. All of these factors are weighed together to make the safest and most responsible decision possible.
Thank you for your patience as we continue monitoring conditions and work toward a decision, which will be shared by 5:00 pm today.

Mrs. Thamez’s first-grade dual language class was practicing 1 more, 10 more, 1 less, and 10 less with a partner. It was wonderful to see students helping and teaching one another while building their math skills. Hands-on activities like these keep learning engaging and meaningful at Snyder Primary School!

Snyder High School Campus Spotlight: Texas Association of Future Educators (TAFE)
Each month, at the Snyder ISD Board of Trustees meeting, a different campus is invited to share the excellent learning experiences happening across Snyder ISD. This month, SHS students proudly shared how TAFE is helping them explore the teaching profession, build leadership skills, and prepare for future careers in education.
During their presentation, students shared that TAFE is a student organization designed to introduce and inspire future educators. Snyder High School recently competed at the Area 7 Conference on November 18, where twelve teams advanced to the Teach Tomorrow Summit and State competition. The Teach Tomorrow Summit will be held in Dallas on February 26–28, and these students are preparing to represent Snyder ISD on a statewide stage. The presentation also recognized the many state-qualifying events and students, ranging from lesson planning and educational leadership to children’s literature and interactive bulletin boards.
Their presentation left us excited and inspired about the future of education!

Even better, there is still room for a few more students to jump in.
