Snyder Primary School

One of our favorite events of the year is the Retired Teachers Luncheon—an opportunity to celebrate and honor individuals who have dedicated their lives to education. Guests received a warm welcome and were treated to a special performance by the SHS Pride of the West Band. They enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by the SFE Food Services catering crew and were served by the SHS Student Council and NHS members. The SHS Floral Design classes created beautiful centerpieces and a special take-home arrangement for each guest, adding an extra touch to this meaningful gathering.

It’s always a wonderful time to reconnect, reminisce, and show appreciation for these incredible educators. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event memorable!

Snyder ISD is now accepting referrals for students who may need Gifted/Talented Services for the school year. This program is designed for students who exhibit intellectual and creative thinking abilities at an extraordinary level not normally served in the regular classroom. Services are provided only upon identification of education needs of the student. Anyone wishing to refer a student attending Snyder ISD in kindergarten through twelfth grade this school year is asked to visit or go by the student’s campus office to request a copy of the referral form.

This form must be returned to the school by December 2, 2024. Those unable to go by the school should call the campus to request a form be sent to them.

Reminder! There is no school on Friday, November 1st! We hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween. Enjoy your long weekend! To view the district calendar, view www.snyderisd.net/calendar.

Last week, Mrs. Leija’s 2nd-grade dual language students at Snyder Primary School wrapped up their Hispanic Heritage Month project with creative and informative posters. Each student researched a famous Hispanic figure, learning about their significant contributions and rich cultural traditions. This project allowed students to connect with and honor the heritage of people who trace their roots to Mexico, Spain, and other Spanish-speaking countries, all of which play a vital role in shaping our world today! #snydertigers #HispanicHeritageMonth2024

Today marked another productive day at Snyder ISD. Participants in monthly instructional rounds enjoyed seeing the great things our classroom teachers are accomplishing firsthand! The group at Snyder Primary visited over 20 classrooms, while other teams observed classrooms at both the Intermediate and Junior High Schools. Superintendent Rauch, Trustee Leatherwood, and members of the Cabinet also participated in rounds.

The instructional rounds process, modeled after the medical rounds approach, aims to foster collaboration and professional growth among educators across Snyder ISD. By observing classroom instruction and learning from one another, participants gather insights that help identify trends and guide instructional support. It also allows administrative staff, trustees, and others to see how their work impacts campus staff and students. These rounds are held monthly and contribute to improving student outcomes district-wide.

Snyder ISD teachers demonstrated their dedication to providing quality instruction, and we believe their efforts will greatly benefit students! Keep up the GREAT work!

✨magic in learning, excellence in achieving✨

This weekend, several volunteers from Evergreen - SISD Research and Retail Greenhouse and the Snyder Intermediate School STEAM Team participated in the Keep Snyder Beautiful Fall Sweep cleanup. Evergreen replanted all the pots around the square and at City Hall with fall foliage, while the STEAM Team helped clean up the pocket park and paint around the square. We appreciate the work that all of the volunteers put in to spruce up our community!

This past Saturday, the Snyder High School Speech and Debate team took five students to Borger to compete at the Boomtown Classic. Carson Posey placed third in Congress, Kyle Beights placed top 4 in Lincoln-Douglas Debate by making it to the semifinals, and Jaxon Angeley advanced to semifinals in Domestic Extemporaneous Speaking. "This was our first in person tournament of the year and, overall, it went really well! It was a solid kickoff for what should shape up to be a great season for our team," said Speech and Debate Coach Adalberto Jaimes. #snydertigers
