Celebrity Couple from North Pole Surprise Students

December 16, 2022 by srincon

(San Antonio, TX) – Santa came for a return visit to say hello to all the good boys and girls of Southside this week. But, this time he had a surprise partner, Mrs. Claus! Mrs. Claus joined her partner for a tour around the district visiting every elementary and Menchaca Early Childhood Center during the last week of school before winter break. All PreK3 and Prek4 students got a gift bag along with all 1st and 2nd graders here at Cardinal Nation.  They were greeted with smiling faces and happy laughter. You could also hear a student sneaking in a wish or two while they got their picture taken with the celebrity couple. For a video on the fun event click the link.

Enjoy these fun photos from each campus!

Cardinals CARE – Antibullying Campaign

August 26, 2022 by srincon

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.
