Today's beautiful sunshine has helped local roads clear for safe travel to school tomorrow in Springtown ISD. We will be having school on Tuesday, January 16, 2024, on regular schedule. It will be cold throughout the day - and especially tomorrow morning at bus stops and during morning arrival - so bundle up and stay safe, Porcupines! We will have our campuses warmed up and ready for you!
Additionally, we kindly request all students and staff wear green tomorrow as a gesture of honor and solidarity with the Paradise ISD community. This is in remembrance of their school board member and two children who tragically lost their lives in a plane accident. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Paradise ISD community during this difficult time.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school! Stay safe and warm, Porcupines!
The date for the kindergarten music program has been changed to March 5.

Itโs important to understand what youโll see on the ballot when you head into the voting booth.
By law, school districts can only purchase items approved by voters with bond funds. For the November 2023 bond, that means SISD can only use funds for school facilities or to purchase land.
The ballot will also include the required language, โThis is a property tax increase.โ This statement is required on all school bond elections.
