Attention Intermediate parents! We are SO excited to start this school year on August 24th and it’s going to be a great one! I have a few important things to share with you: 1. All students and staff will wear a face covering. 2. Please send your child with a refillable water bottle if you have one. 3. No student cell phones on campus at all. 4. Parents will not be permitted in the building except for special circumstances. This includes the first day of school. 5. No outside food or drinks brought in. (Only lunches from home with the student) 6. Look for our virtual meet the teacher on our website and Facebook next Wednesday! We have missed our students and are looking forward to seeing them (face to face or online) back in school!

It's time for Intermediate Chromebook pickup for students participating in at home instruction! If you are registered for this school year, and have indicated either by survey or phone call that your child will be attending school at home/online, then you may click the link below to schedule a time to pick up your child's Chromebook. A parent will need to pickup the device. The commitment form, Chromebook agreement and acceptable use policy will all need to be completed as well as all parts of registration. Please note that students who are learning at home will be required to turn in assignments each day in their classes in order to be counted present and avoid truancy.

All students who will be participating in extracurricular activities this year at Somerville ISD will be required to attend school face to face.

All SISD Staff Appreciate the special delivery of bundt cakes from Citizens State Bank! Thank you Leisa Dowell for making our day SWEETER! THANKYOU!!!!

We appreciate B&B for donating school supplies to SISD! THANK YOU!!!

Students, Parents, & Staff, In an effort to keep our students and staff healthy, Somerville ISD will not host a face to face summer academic camp in July. Instead, we will provide at-home remote instruction that can be accomplished with or without the internet for 1st through 7th grade, and high school students will still be able to regain credit on-line through an online platform called APEX. If your child was chosen to participate in summer camp you will be receiving more implicit information next week on what to expect for instruction from your campus Principal. We are currently working on plans to provide every student a device from K-12th grade next school year. If you would like to access free instruction and plans from TEA please click on the link below. https://texashomelearning.org Be safe and stay healthy, Karla Sparks Superintendent Somerville ISD

Students, Parents, & Staff, We planned out a very safe plan to implement instruction on campus, however; with the spike in COVID 19 cases in our county and surrounding areas we felt it would be best not to take any chances.
