Cardinals CARE – Antibullying Campaign
Southside ISD is committed to all safety and security protocols and solutions. Cardinals CARE (C- Compassionate, A- Accepting, R – Respectful, and Empowered) is an initiative inspired by parents, community members, students, security experts, and staff input. Southside ISD recently held a Safety and Security committee meeting where ideas and critiques were shared. Although we have many programs, protocols, and procedures in place, one of the district’s numerous efforts includes communicating ways to prevent harmful activities to all staff and students. The Cardinals CARE Campaign includes a robust marketing initiative of posters, videos, banners, and incentives to encourage our community to “See Something, Say Something.” The entire program falls under the Stay Alert reporting and detection system the district already has. For more on the direct numbers and website for Stay Alert, Click here.
Cardinals Care also includes a dress code policy that encourages unity and good behavior. The Cardinal VIP program is also part of the family of incentives that celebrates our outstanding and best-behaved cardinals. In the coming days, be on the lookout for messages from our cardinals on how you can help us all stay alert and safe.

There are only two campuses in the state of Texas to do that; Heritage Elementary being one of them,” said Southside ISD Superintendent Mr. Rolando Ramirez. “They’ve just done an amazing job. They’ve taken it a step further and have shown our other campuses that anything is possible. Students were held to those high expectations and because of that, they were able to attain that A-rating.” All of Southside ISD’s other campuses taking the state assessment tests were elevated to B-ratings including Southside High School, Matthey Middle School, Losoya Middle School, Freedom Elementary, Pearce Elementary, and Gallardo Elementary.
