Southside ISD Education Foundation Honors Top Campus Students

by

An initiative of both the Superintendent and the Southside ISD Education Foundation (SEF) is an incentive to honor outgoing students from each campus. This initiative has become a tradition for students, and they will each receive a computer as recognition for this academic achievement. The computers are purchased through fundraising efforts by SEF. Academic growth has been evident across all spectrums at SISD since this initiative was started.

During the May board meeting, Southside ISD recognized these students and gave them their new computers. Congratulations to each of these students for their continued hard work and dedication!

STAAR Parent Letter

by

Parents and guardians! Our 3rd-5th students will be taking the STAAR Reading Test tomorrow, and our administration would like to share an important letter with more information. The letter reads as follows:

“Dear Parents,

Tomorrow, April 18th, our students will take the Reading STAAR Test – a test they have prepared for all year. We look forward to them taking their moment to shine! During this time, we ask you to please encourage your child to:

  • take their time, use their strategies, and give their best effort 
  • get a good night’s rest – 8 total hours of uninterrupted sleep
  • eat a healthy breakfast in the morning 
  • keep their cell phones and other electronic devices (ex: tablets, watches) at home
  • be on time to school – no later than 7:20am 
  • keep all backpacks and totes at home 
  • dress in layers so they are comfortable with the room air settings while testing
  • bring a chapter book, so they have something to read when done with the test

 

Please note that breakfast, lunch, and a daytime snack will be provided at school. Additionally, we ask that parents not pick up students early on this day so that they may take their time with testing. 

 

Thank you for your support and dedication to your child’s education. We always appreciate your partnership. Please feel free to call us at 210-882-1605 with any questions or clarification.”
