Sherman ISD will be hosting the Bearcat Palooza learning conference July 16-18 at Sherman High School! There will be sessions covering topics related to PK-12, fine arts, PE, CTE, SPED, bilingual and more, and there will be a chance to network with other area educators as Bearcat Palooza will be open to surrounding districts.

Remember, there is no school for students on Monday, February 19 for a professional development day.

This spring’s primary elections will shape the future of education in Texas. The primaries can determine how much funding local schools receive, whether state lawmakers will increase salaries for teachers, or allocate additional dollars to support unfunded mandates for school safety and security. 

Please learn about the candidates and their positions, and plan to vote! Early voting begins next Tuesday, February 20 and runs through March 1. Election Day is March 5. More information about how and where to vote is available at votetexas.gov. 

Bearcat Basketball are your district champs! They sealed their hold on the district title with a 63-49 win over Princeton Friday night and were awarded the district trophy. In a postgame speech, Coach Jacob Hodges thanked his team, his staff, the community and many more who came out to support the Bearcats throughout the season.

For the second year in a row, Sherman High School has been named a recipient of Counselors Reinforcing Excellence for Students in Texas (CREST) Award by the Texas School Counselor Association. The award recognizes the efforts and hard work the counseling team has done to effectively communicate and ensure results at their campus.

SISD Communications wants to share all the exciting things happening in our campus classrooms from cool lessons to community involvement, and we need your help!

Please fill out the form at www.shermanisd.net/story-submission and tell us about an upcoming lesson or activity that we could highlight with photos, videos, or social media posts. We know there is amazing learning happening on our campuses every day, and we want to capture it and share it with the community!

Ever wonder if you are using the correct district logo or colors? Whether you have the updated SISD letterhead or PowerPoint presentation?

To ensure the Sherman ISD brand is consistent across the district, the Communications Department has made a brand toolkit at www.shermanisd.net/internalresources available to Sherman ISD staff. Inside you’ll find updated campus and district logos, photos taken and used by the Communications team, document templates and more. Templates are also built-in inside Google Docs, Google Slides and Google Forms as well, so be sure to look for them in the template gallery when creating a new document! If you need to double check district colors, you can go to www.shermanisd.net/logos to find color information alongside some of our logos!

Sherman ISD encourages employees to get involved and connected in the community.
