Springtown Elementary School

No School Tomorrow, January 10th! We don’t get many of these rare Texas snow days, but they sure bring out the kid in all of us! As children, we would dream of waking up to the magic words, “No school today!” Well… it’s here. You’ve got it now. Superintendent Shane Strickland took those famous grandparent tales to heart — you know the ones about walking barefoot to school in the snow, uphill both ways. Let’s just say… he gave it a try, and you’ll want to see how that turned out! 😂 Head over to our district’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SpringtownISD) to check out the post and enjoy a good laugh. Trust us — it’s worth it! Most importantly, take tomorrow to enjoy this unexpected gift of time. Whether you’re playing in the snow, sipping hot chocolate, or simply staying cozy indoors, make some memories. If you have kids, soak up these moments with them. The snow will melt, but the memories will last a lifetime. Stay warm, stay safe, and we’ll see you on Monday!

Weather Update: Springtown ISD Closed Thursday, January 9th Springtown ISD administration just got off a call with the National Weather Service. Their forecast includes freezing rain, sleet, and possibly snow starting early tomorrow morning, creating hazardous conditions for our buses and drivers to be on the roads. Out of an abundance of caution, all Springtown ISD campuses and offices will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, January 9th. All before and after-school extracurricular activities are canceled for tomorrow. Friday’s status is still TBD — we will continue to monitor conditions throughout the day tomorrow and share updates as they become available. Please stay safe, and keep an eye out for additional updates from Springtown ISD! #PorcupineFamily
