PTO

SISD Parents and Staff, I am thrilled to announce that we have a group of parents who would like to start a Parent Teacher Organization for SISD (Pre-K through 12th grade).  The attached flyer gives information about the initial meeting that will describe the process of starting the PTO.  After the information about the PTO, there will be an additional meeting related to how the school, parents and community can work together to support all of our students in a positive manner.  This is an exciting time for SISD and shows once again why Stratford is a special place to live, work and raise a family.  I hope to see you on the 6th.   Paul Uttley

Tonight's Games

SISD Family, Just a reminder that we will not be charging admission to get into this evening's games.  All money collected, through your donations,  will be given to the family of Mr. Wright, the Dalhart High School principal who passed away this week.  Our friends at Duncan Chevrolet (Stratford) and Hart Chevrolet (Dalhart) have offered to match whatever funds are collected this evening.  Let's show up this evening and bless this family that has gone through a terrible tragedy.  Thank you to Duncan and Hart Chevrolet for such a generous show of support to the Wright family.   Paul Uttley

Friday Night

SISD Parents, Staff and Students, We will not charge admission for the games against WT High tomorrow night.  Instead, we are asking you to consider donating what you would typically pay to get into the games, to the family of the Dalhart principal who passed away this week.  All money collected tomorrow night will be given to his wife to support her, and her family, during this time.  I think this is a very simple way that we can show the support of the Elk community to our friends in Dalhart.  Thank you. Paul Uttley

2-Hour Delay

SISD Parents and Staff, While the general road conditions are better this morning than yesterday morning, there are still pockets of heavy fog in some areas.  Out of an abundance of caution, SISD will operate on a 2-hour delayed start this morning (9:55 at MAE and 10:00 for SJH/SHS).  I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but this decision is being made to ensure the safety of our students and staff.  We will not count students tardy this morning so please take your time and be safe.  Breakfast will not be served at any of our campuses this morning.   Paul Uttley
