Snyder ISD

It’s Dot Day! This week, students at Snyder Primary School read “The Dot,” written by Peter H. Reynolds. In the story, a student named Vashti felt like she couldn’t draw — but her art teacher wouldn’t accept that. “Just make a mark, and see where it takes you,” the teacher said to Vashti. “The Dot” is used by teachers worldwide to encourage creativity and instill confidence in students. #dotday #nationaldotday #webelieveinsisd

“One of the worst days in America’s history saw some of the bravest acts in Americans’ history. We’ll always honor the heroes of 9/11. And here at this hallowed place, we pledge that we will never forget their sacrifice.” —President George W. Bush at the Pentagon in 2008 On Friday, we payed tribute to our first responders and armed forces. Today we remember and continue to honor those who stand ready to protect, serve, and sacrifice for our freedoms, safety, and country.

While we celebrate homecoming today, we also honor those who serve. Before tonight's game, we will pause to reflect on the commitment and sacrifice of our first responders, active-duty military, and veterans. We hope you will join us for this special tribute at Tiger Stadium before the game at 6:30pm.

Unfortunately, we have to restrict access to Tiger Stadium due to recent incidents of trespassing and theft. The gates will be locked when not in use and anyone who breaks into the stadium will be considered trespassing; Snyder ISD will press charges as necessary. We are fortunate to have fantastic facilities and we want our students and the community to be able to enjoy them for years to come. If you have any questions about renting or reserving the facilities, please call 325-574-8960 or email jashley@snyderisd.net.

Tuesday, August 31st at 12:30 pm we will host an online Q&A regarding three-week progress reports. We will review how Schoology can give you an insight into your child's coursework and how you can check the official grade book through Skyward. Is there anything specific you would like us to cover? Please ask using the Q&A feature during the webinar or email questions@snyderisd.net. We will do our best to answer your questions live.

Last week, second grade students at Snyder Primary School used what they’ve learned about place value and representing numbers in different ways to complete the “number munchers” activity. Students used food as manipulatives to show their knowledge. #webelieveinsisd

IMPORTANT: if your child is sick, they need to stay home from school. Individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 must stay home and may not come to school (per 25 Tex. Admin. Code § 97.7.). Students or staff should stay home if they have a fever greater than 100°F, sore throat, cough, body aches, vomiting, or diarrhea. Like with any illness, students may not return to school if they have a fever of 100.0 or above. If your child is taking medication to control their fever, they must stay home until they are fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication. If your child is absent for any reason, it is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to notify the child’s school. Because virtual learning is not an option, it is critical to make arrangements to make up any missed assignments.

#2 Parents, did you know that you can see the vaccinations we have on file through Skyward? Just click on the "health info" tab to find out what we have on file. Remember, school vaccination rules are in effect for the 2021-2022 school year. Students should be up-to-date, in the process of receiving vaccines, or have a valid exemption on file when school starts. Parents should forward the vaccine record to the campus nurse so that they can update their files. Should you have any questions please contact the nurse at your child’s campus.

#1 If you haven't already, please register your child before August 6th. Online registration is open and should only take about 10 minutes to complete! All students need to be registered for school. If your student did not attend Snyder ISD last year, you will need to complete the enrollment paperwork first.

Snyder Intermediate School classes that achieved the highest percentages of their STAAR goals had a decision to make - hit Mrs. Cade with a pie in the face or drench her with a bucket of ice water. Mrs. Cade is a great sport, wouldn’t you agree? #webelieveinsisd
