Shepherd I.S.D. Spotlight

THANK YOU, MRS PRICE! SISD APPRECIATES YOU.

This week’s SMS Staff Spotlight is Mrs. Price. Mrs. Price is one of our Science teachers and is doing a great job in her first year of teaching. Not only is Mrs. Price bringing spirit to the classroom daily, she is also the leader of the Anime Club for our students here at SMS. On Monday, December 13th, at the Basketball game here, Mrs. Price and the Anime club will be host a Neko Cafe. Mrs. Price has brought the idea to SMS. She and her Anime students will be serving concession snacks in a cafe style to anyone who wants to participate. Thank you Mrs. Price for working hard inside and outside the Science classroom to provide great experiences for our students.

Upcoming Events

Please come out and support the Shepherd Theatre Department as they put on Hamlet! There will be concessions and T-Shirts that will help support the booster club.

Shepherd Family,

The Anime club would like to invite you to the Christmas seasonal Neko Cafe. What is a Neko cafe you ask? Well you see a neko cafe is a cafe run by the students in the Anime club while wearing a smile and a set of cat ears. We will be serving Coffee, Tea, and hot chocolate along with pastries in the cafeteria during the basketball games. This cafe will teach our anime students skills they will need if they go into a field of hospitality and business.

Please come out and support your students and community by joining us at the cafe. If you don’t want to be seated, to go orders are welcomed.

Hope to see you all.

Shepherd ISD families and community,

You may have seen some changes happening in the Shepherd Middle School parking lot since this past summer. After assessing traffic along S. Byrd we have found that changing the traffic flow during arrival and dismissal will better serve the safety of our students, staff and community.

Effective January 1, 2022 the traffic pattern at Shepherd Middle School will be as indicated in the diagram below.

Familias y comunidad de Shepherd ISD:

Es posible que hayan visto algunos cambios en el estacionamiento de la Escuela Secundaria desde el verano pasado. Después de evaluar el tráfico a lo largo de S. Byrd Avenue, descubrimos que cambiar el flujo del tráfico durante la llegada y la salida servirá mejor a la seguridad de nuestros estudiantes, el personal y la comunidad.

A partir del 1 de enero de 2022, el tráfico en la Escuela Secundaria será como se indica en el diagrama a continuación.
