Our annual Hispanic Heritage Family Night will take place tomorrow, 10/15/25, at 6:30 p.m. in the cafeteria. We invite you and your family to join us for a celebration filled with community, culture, and connection.

Hispanic Heritage Month, observed from September 15 to October 15, honors the histories, cultures, and contributions of individuals whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. This annual celebration is a time to recognize the rich diversity and lasting impact of Hispanic and Latino communities in our nation.

The evening will include Lotería, prizes, and a delicious meal prepared by the Somerville ISD Culinary Department, generously sponsored by Kovasovic’s Meat Market. We are grateful for their continued support in helping make this event special.

We look forward to seeing you and your family as we come together to celebrate.

📢 Dress Code & ID Badge Reminder

As we move further into the school year, we want to remind all students and families of the importance of following our district dress code. Maintaining consistent expectations helps create a safe, respectful, and distraction-free learning environment for everyone.

👕 Dress Code Enforcement:
Please take a moment to review the guidelines linked below to ensure that all students are dressed appropriately each day.

🎫 Student ID Badges:
All students are required to wear their school-issued ID badge at all times while on campus. This is a key part of our safety procedures and helps us identify students quickly and efficiently.

Thank you for your cooperation and support in keeping our campus safe and focused on learning!

We have also been made aware of calls being made on behalf of our cheerleading & basketball program to solicit money from community members for a fundraiser. The company making these calls claims to be called Direct Marketing; however, they may begin using any number of fake names and phone numbers. This is also a scam. Please be aware of any calls requesting donations for organizations related to Somerville ISD. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the SISD Administration Office at 979-596-2153. Again, send this information to all community members to get the word out.
