Thank you for your participation and for embodying the spirit of unity and compassion that defines our Shepherd ISD community.

At Shepherd ISD, we are immensely proud to recognize the outstanding contributions of our dedicated diagnosticians. These remarkable individuals play a crucial role in ensuring that every student receives the support they need to thrive academically and beyond.
Your voice matters! We need to hear what's working for you and what you need.

You will receive these messages from Possip, an organization we have partnered with to learn your needs. Thank you!

Here at Shepherd ISD, we're committed to ensuring that every student has access to a nourishing breakfast each morning. Whether it's at home or at school, let's make it a priority to fuel our bodies and minds for success! 💪

Shepherd ISD campuses and offices will be closed on Monday, February 19th, in observance of Presidents Day. We will resume our regular schedule on Tuesday, February 20th. We hope all of our Pirates have a safe and enjoyable holiday.
We want to bring your attention to an important update regarding the school calendar. Friday, March 8th, will be utilized as a bad weather make-up day for Shepherd ISD. On this day, classes will resume as usual, and the school district will operate on its normal schedule.
This decision is in response to the school closure that occurred on January 24th due to flooding and rising river levels in our community. Ensuring the safety of our students and staff is our utmost priority, and the closure was a mandated county measure to protect everyone during challenging weather conditions.
As we strive to maintain continuity in our academic calendar and provide our students with the necessary instructional days, March 8th has been designated as a make-up day. We understand that this may cause some inconvenience, but it's essential to make up for the lost instructional time to ensure our students' academic success.
We appreciate your understanding and support as we navigate through these adjustments to the school calendar.
At Shepherd ISD, we're proud to honor Black History Month by recognizing the incredible contributions and achievements of Black Americans throughout history.

Let's take this opportunity to deepen our understanding, foster unity, and inspire future generations to continue the legacy of progress and equality.
