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.

๐ข Attention, Parents! ๐จ
We want to keep our children safe in the digital world, and your vigilance matters more than ever. ๐ง๐ฑ
Lately, there have been a few concerning apps circulating that ask for personal information such as school details, schedules, and more. These apps claim to connect students within the same school but often lack proper filters to verify age or school enrollment. Your child's safety is our utmost priority, so we urge you to monitor the apps they download and use on their phones.
Here are a few key points to keep in mind:
๐ Personal Identifiers: If an app is asking for personal identifiers like age, school district, or schedules, be cautious. Legitimate school-related apps usually have official channels for communication.
๐ Verified School Apps: At Springtown ISD, we use trusted apps for various purposes:
Remind: Teacher to student/parent communication
Smore: Newsletters
Skyward: Grades, attendance, and assignment monitoring
Schoology: Online Learning Management System
โ Have Questions? If your child claims they need to download an app for school purposes, don't hesitate to reach out to their teacher, principal, or our district admin office. We're here to clarify any doubts and ensure your child's safety online.
Let's work together to create a secure digital environment for our students. Thank you for your continued support! ๐๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ๐
