We were fortunate to be able to provide face-to-face summer instruction, and these students worked hard! Today our young learners received their new backpacks for completing Summer School! We are proud of the work and time they have invested in their education!
Thank you, Strawn ISD Education Foundation, for purchasing these new backpacks for our students!
To get our students and our staff back in school, we must put our plan into action that will keep the kids learning, but give SISD time to safeguard our school from COVID as best we can.
We have received items from the state that we will utilize this school year, and have more incoming, namely disposable masks, reusable masks, hand sanitizer, gloves, "No Contact" thermometers, and health and campus safety decals and signs.

In accordance with the Texas Education Agency guidelines for return to school, we will offer parents/guardians the choice of on-campus instruction or a virtual learning option.

With all of the uncertainty of COVID-19, we want to make sure that our students are kept safe to the best of our ability. For us it is difficult because of rumors or hearsay, and differing ideas on what is best. We will be continuing our workouts as safely as possible. We completely understand if you feel the need for your student to remain at home.
