Weather Update: Springtown ISD Closed Thursday, January 9th
Springtown ISD administration just got off a call with the National Weather Service. Their forecast includes freezing rain, sleet, and possibly snow starting early tomorrow morning, creating hazardous conditions for our buses and drivers to be on the roads.
Out of an abundance of caution, all Springtown ISD campuses and offices will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, January 9th.
All before and after-school extracurricular activities are canceled for tomorrow.
Fridayโs status is still TBD โ we will continue to monitor conditions throughout the day tomorrow and share updates as they become available.

SPRINGTOWN ISD UPDATE
Weโve received a few questions regarding potential winter weather later this week. The current forecast from the National Weather Service is for 1-4 inches of snowfall accumulation from the Metroplex north and west, with lighter amounts expected in Central Texas. There is also a 30% chance for accumulations to exceed 6 inches in areas west and northwest of the Metroplex.
We will continue to receive updates from the National Weather Service and will share any important information as soon as possible.
Please know that it is always our intention to make decisions as quickly as possible. There are multiple factors we must consider, ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ฒ ๐จ๐ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ, ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐๐, ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ.

Good Morning
Starting TODAY, our band parking lot will be OPEN after 7:30 AM to provide extra parking for our students! We are thrilled to offer this additional space to make things a bit easier for everyone.
However, a quick reminder to all parents and students: Please be sure to leave the front parking spots next to the school open for our band directors and staff. Many of our directors and staff travel between schools and need quick access to the band hall to ensure they can serve our students effectively.
Thank you so much for your understanding and cooperation! Here's to making this a smooth and successful school year.

Principal

We have been informed by the City of Springtown that FM 51 is currently closed from 199 to Lynch Bend due to a fatal accident. Traffic is being rerouted, and at this time, we do not know if the road will reopen before our buses begin their routes.
If your student rides buses 39, 52, 75, 81, or MB11, please be aware that drop-off times may be earlier or later than usual due to the rerouting. If you have specific questions, please contact our transportation department at 817-220-1418.
Additionally, if you typically drive this route to pick up your child, we recommend planning an alternate route to avoid FM 51. Staff members who drive this route should also prepare for alternate routes when leaving for the day.
