‼️ DELAYED START - 10:00AM ‼️ Springtown ISD will operate on a delayed start schedule today, with classes beginning at 10:00 AM. Our team has been out assessing road conditions since 3:45 AM. While roads in town are generally in good shape, there are a few rural areas that require extra caution. We want to allow our bus drivers to navigate those routes in daylight for added safety. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. The safety of our students and staff remains our top priority. Please stay safe, and we look forward to seeing everyone later this morning. #PorcupineFamily

Porcupines: Our team has been out checking roads across the district this evening, and everything is clear for tomorrow! ❄️ It’s going to be a chilly one, so be sure to bundle up! We’ll have buildings open, warm, and ready for you in the morning. Please be patient during drop-off and pick-up, our staff will be working as efficiently as possible to get students in and out safely. As always, leadership will be out early to check road conditions before buses run to ensure everything remains safe. We will continue to monitor the weather throughout the evening and notify families if the school schedule for tomorrow changes. Information will also be shared on the SISD website and social media.

No School Tomorrow, January 10th! We don’t get many of these rare Texas snow days, but they sure bring out the kid in all of us! As children, we would dream of waking up to the magic words, “No school today!” Well… it’s here. You’ve got it now. Superintendent Shane Strickland took those famous grandparent tales to heart — you know the ones about walking barefoot to school in the snow, uphill both ways. Let’s just say… he gave it a try, and you’ll want to see how that turned out! 😂 Head over to our district’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SpringtownISD) to check out the post and enjoy a good laugh. Trust us — it’s worth it! Most importantly, take tomorrow to enjoy this unexpected gift of time. Whether you’re playing in the snow, sipping hot chocolate, or simply staying cozy indoors, make some memories. If you have kids, soak up these moments with them. The snow will melt, but the memories will last a lifetime. Stay warm, stay safe, and we’ll see you on Monday!

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. Friday’s status is still TBD — we will continue to monitor conditions throughout the day tomorrow and share updates as they become available. Please stay safe, and keep an eye out for additional updates from Springtown ISD! #PorcupineFamily

SPRINGTOWN ISD UPDATE We’ve 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.
