This becomes a distraction to the educational environment. Deliveries will be held in the office at each campus or other locations if necessary and will need to be retrieved by the student at the end of the day.

Good morning SISD. Maintenance and Operations personnel have surveyed the road conditions and have determined that all is good for a normal start.
Be sure to bundle up! It’s going to be a cold day!

La nieve se está derritiendo rápidamente y seguirá mientras prosigue el día, pero con las temperaturas helando esta noche congelara las carreteras haciendolo dificil para conducir. Condiciones de carreteras congeladas causará que iniciemos clases tarde el Viernes 7 de Febrero, pero los Viernes ya son cortos y el comenzar tarde nos dará menos tiempo para instrucción. Por lo tanto Snyder ISD estará cerrada el día de mañana 7 de Febrero y volveremos Lunes el 10 de Febrero. No se han tomado un decisión de actividades extraescolares programadas para mañana.

Good afternoon SISD staff and families,
We are rapidly thawing out this afternoon; however, the National Weather Service predicts temperatures to be well below freezing tonight. Icy roads will most certainly be an issue tomorrow morning and the safety of our students and staff takes priority. Since Fridays are shortened instructional days, a late start isn't a reasonable option. Therefore, SISD will be closed tomorrow and will reopen on Monday, February 10th. At this time a decision has not been made about extra-curricular activities scheduled for Friday.
Stay safe, get well, and we will see everyone on Monday.

Due to a significant number of students and teachers absent with the flu and the National Weather Service’s prediction of bad weather and unsafe roads, SISD will close all schools on Wed 2/5 and Thurs 2/6. All athletic and extracurricular activities have also been canceled.
The safety and wellbeing of our students and staff is our top priority. Due to a significant number of students and teachers absent with the flu and the National Weather Service’s prediction of inclement weather and unsafe road conditions, Snyder ISD has made the decision to close all schools and administration buildings on Wednesday, February 5th and Thursday, February 6th, 2020. In addition, all athletic and extracurricular activities/competitions — including before and after-school practices, rehearsals, and events — have been canceled for Wednesday and Thursday.
We are encouraging families to help us slow the spread of illness to teachers and students by:
Keeping children home until they are fever-free WITHOUT medication for 24 hours.
Keeping your children home if they are vomiting or have diarrhea. They may return 24 hours after symptoms have resolved.
Teaching your children to properly cover their coughs and sneezes and to wash their hands frequently.
Washing backpacks and jackets.
Please stay warm, safe, and use this time to rest and recover.
