Dear SISD Families, Students and staff are safe. I am writing to provide you with an important update regarding the events that occurred at school today.
At approximately one o’clock we were made aware of a potential threat at Sweetwater High School. Our priority was, and always is, to ensure the safety of our students and staff. We are relieved to inform you that the threat was successfully addressed by local law enforcement.
We understand these events can be unsettling, and we want to assure you that the safety and wellbeing of our students and staff are our top priority. We are grateful for the swift response of local law enforcement and the cooperation of everyone involved. We would also like to thank our staff for their quick actions in following our safety procedures. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time.
Sincerely, Reggy Spencer

Numerous studies have shown the significant impact electronic devices can have on student comprehension and learning. House Bill 1481 seeks to ensure that students do not have distractions outside the classroom interfering with learning inside the classroom.
SISD requires all students to turn off and store, out of sight, their cell phones, smartwatches, Earbuds, and electronic devices during the school day from the first bell to the last bell.
If parents need to contact a student regarding an emergent issue, please contact the front office at (325) 235-4371.
