We are passing the "Tiger Torch" to Laurel for setting an example for her Pre-K peers. Laurel loves to learn and loves showing what she’s learned. She takes pride in everything she does and is a great friend to her classmates. She’s also a GREAT artist and very creative! Way to go, Laurel! #TigerTorch #TigerPride

Looking forward to seeing our students and families at our Open House on March 7th from 5:00-6:00 PM!! While you are on campus, check out our new marquee in the circle drive!!

Something new for SISD! We want to recognize students from each campus who are doing great things every day by awarding them the Tiger Torch for the week! We are passing the "Tiger Torch" to Levi this week! He comes to school determined to learn and succeed, works hard at everything he does, has amazing behavior, and is a good friend/classmate to everyone that he comes into contact with. Way to go, Levi! #TigerTorch #TigerPride

SISD is exploring the possibility of offering extended care for students who do not qualify for ACE for the 2024-2025 school year. The program would follow the ACE calendar for days of operation. Programming would run from dismissal to 5:30 p.m. Students can be picked up, dismissed with walkers or ride the after school bus home. There is no penalty for attendance or early pick ups in paid programming. Please fill out this survey by March 1st with your interest: https://bit.ly/3uFuHTC

This is a reminder that Monday, February 19th, is a staff and student holiday in honor of President's Day. We will see everyone back on Tuesday, February 20th.

Pre-K recently explored a unit on our community helpers. They ventured out on a field trip throughout town where they visited the fire station and police department among other stops. To conclude, our own Officer Koch visited with our little tiger cubs about his job as our resource officer and keeping us all safe. He chose several students to be his assistants for a day and deputized them, awarding them with a badge. An all girl squad from Kinder took the oath promising to set a good example of following the rules and be leaders on campus.

DRILL CONCLUDED - Thanks for your cooperation! DRILL IN PROGRESS Brown Primary is currently conducting a fire drill. Please be aware if you are coming to the school. Thank you.
