Sherman ISD has laid out a plan for teaching and learning to guide the district for the next three school years. The strategic plan was developed last school year through a series of district meetings and emphasizes the following focus areas:

• Research-Based Instructional Strategies (RBIS)
• Instructional Capacity Building (Coaching)
• Talent (Recruitment, Development and Retention)

The committee also updated the district’s vision, mission and values and envisioned a student experience to reflect the strategic goals and outcomes desired for students.

SISD Utilizes Standard Response Protocol

Now that the school year is underway, all Sherman ISD campuses have successfully participated in their first Standard Response Protocol (SRP) drills for the year. The district utilizes SRP so that all teachers, staff and students have a uniform response to a wide variety of school-based emergencies.

The Sherman Education Foundation 5K & Bubble-K Fun Run will be held bright and early on Saturday, September 21 starting at 8 a.m.! Register now through September 12 for the early registration price and a guaranteed T-shirt. All proceeds benefit the Sherman Education Foundation, which supports educational enrichment opportunities for Sherman ISD staff and students.

You can find more information, such as the race schedule and a “Sleepin’ In” option, here.

Become a Substitute at Sherman ISD

Sherman ISD is actively seeking substitutes to support our schools and classrooms. We're hiring substitute teachers, paraprofessional personnel, professional support staff, and auxiliary support personnel. Your help can make a difference for our students and teachers!

New State Requirements Impact School Nurses

Nurses in Texas public schools are now required to obtain parental consent and a doctor’s order to administer prescription and over-the-counter medications to students. Starting in the 2024-25 school year, parents must return a completed Request for Medication Administration form with a doctor's signature in order for nurses to provide medication at school. For more information, please contact your school nurse.

Ready to give back to your community in a meaningful way? Become a mentor for 4th-12th grade students and create a positive, lasting impact on the next generation.

If you’re a new or returning mentor, fill out the mentor application and mark your calendar for a mandatory training session for all mentors on September 10 from 12-1 p.m. at the Sherman ISD Service Center.
