Dear Wonderful Shepherd Community,
The month of November has a major holiday where friends and families come together to celebrate Thanksgiving with plenty of food and holiday cheer! However, there is another major celebration that exists and that is the recognition of our Veterans. November 11th commemorates the honoring of our military Veterans that have served our Country. Please take some time to thank a Veteran. SISD appreciates the men and women who have served and protected our freedoms! We love you!

A shout out to our Veterans! SISD loves you! |

FAMILY INCOME SURVEY REQUEST: If you have not already completed the Family Income Survey attached below, please take a moment to do so for each child enrolled in our District. This information will then in turn make sure your child’s school receives the full amount of federal and state funding and services they are entitled. Without this data we could see a significant decrease in our eligibility to receive state and federal funding. It is important that you complete this survey and return it to your child’s school office no later than November 30, 2020.

In accordance with TEA required notifications and, in an effort, to keep our parents, staff, and community informed, Shepherd ISD will be sending email notifications to parents and staff for each on-campus occurrence of a positive COVID case.
Shepherd ISD will personally contact individuals who may have come in close contact (as defined by TEA) with a lab-confirmed positive case on a campus. If you are NOT directly contacted, then you are NOT someone who was identified as having close contact with a positive individual.
Curent Data
- COVID testing (- results):3 staff, 1 student (+ results):2 staff, 2 students
- 14 day quarantine related to close contact at school staff: 3 students: 106
Lastly, face coverings and hand washing help slow the spread of COVID-19.
