Thank you to all who made our switch to online/at-home learning a smooth transition! Strawn ISD Administration and School Board have worked tirelessly with government officials and other districts' administration to give our students their best opportunity for success. Our technology director set up each student with his/her own google account and prepared Chromebooks for distribution. Newcastle ISD provided our district with 25 additional Chromebooks and around 60 cases, allowing us to send a Chromebook home with every one of our students. NISD's technology director shared information and tips on digital resources such as Google Classroom and Zoom Meetings. Our teachers have changed their teaching styles to accommodate our students home learning environments, provided packets to those without internet access, and have made themselves available through online live streams, text, call, and e-mail to answer any question students and parents might encounter. Our students' parents have worked with us to complete surveys, pick up materials, and provide the best at-home learning they can. We truly appreciate every single one of you and your contributions during this time. Our community is full of wonderful people who come together for our children. It's a great time to be a Greyhound!

Kindergarten celebrated 80 days of (nonconsecutive) perfect attendance! After completing all their work this morning, they enjoyed game day and were joined and assisted by some of the older elementary classes. Students from 2nd and 4th Grade came to help and play for a bit! Many of our teachers have been encouraging good attendance practices by rewarding classes each time they hit 20 days of perfect attendance with incentives like eating in the classroom, pizza parties, or ice cream.
