Through visionary leadership and tireless pursuit of success for each student, Sherman ISD principals guide and support our schools in ways large and small every day. And as we faced new challenges presented by COVID-19, our principals came through when it mattered most.

Celebrating Principals Month is our way of honoring their dedication and thanking them for all they’ve done. For more information, visit www.principalsmonth.org.

The safety and security of Sherman ISD students and staff are paramount, and the District fully understands that SISD staff are first on the scene in the event of an emergency intruder situation. As a result, the Board of Trustees established local policies CKC, DH and GKA to facilitate the implementation of a School Guardian Program. This program permits selected and approved employees to receive the necessary training and carry a concealed firearm on Sherman ISD property. An application process is currently available for interested and eligible employees. If you would like to consider applying as a School Guardian, please contact Tyson Bennett, Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations, at tbennett@shermanisd.net or 903-891-6415.

Sherman ISD's annual campaign to support the United Way of Grayson County runs from Oct. 1 to Oct. 29. Katie Baker (ext. 2012) and Julie Kerr (ext. 2005) are the liaisons for the district.

Our campus coordinators are:

Your campus coordinator will be collecting donations and organizing fundraising opportunities at your campus.

The SISD Communications Department notifies families via email when an individual on their campus reports a positive case of COVID-19. These emails direct parents to the SISD COVID Dashboard for further information about cases on a certain campus.

If you receive questions about a notification from parents or students, please direct them to the SISD COVID Dashboard for further information.

The tabs at the bottom of the dashboard will open a campus-specific spreadsheet that gives additional information on each case. At the elementary level, cases are identified by positive test date, student/staff, grade and homeroom. At the secondary level, cases are identified by positive test date, student/staff, grade and extracurricular activities/clubs.

Due to privacy laws, we cannot release further information regarding individual cases.

If you test positive for COVID-19, please complete the SISD Employee Reporting Form. Once the form has been completed, the Human Resources Department will contact you with further instructions.

We would love the opportunity to feature honors and recognitions received by SISD employees. Please send accomplishments and news to Arena Blake at ablake@shermanisd.net.
