Sweetwater Intermediate School

Hello SIS families, We loved seeing all of your children today! Thank you for your patience and understanding during our first day of dismissal. We know the process takes a bit longer at the start of the year, and we appreciate your cooperation as we work to make it smoother and faster each day. As a reminder, if you do not have your colored dismissal card, please park and walk up to pick up your child. The drive-through lane is reserved for cars with dismissal cards only to help keep traffic, moving safely and efficiently. Thank you for your support to ensure a safe and organized dismissal for all students.

SIS is excited to welcome back our 4th & 5th Grade Students on Wednesday, August 13. Please see the information regarding changes to our arrival and dismissal procedures. Thank you!

📢 Important Notice: Returning Student Registration Required

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we prepare for the upcoming school year, we kindly ask that you complete your student’s Returning Student Registration through the Ascender Parent Portal as soon as possible.

Completing these forms is essential for your student to easily pick up their class schedule during Open House and to meet their teachers without delay.

If you have not yet completed the registration, please log in to the Parent Portal or contact the school office for assistance. You may also email tamra.burt@sweetwaterisd.net with any questions.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter!

Parents: great news! 🎉 The Ascender Parent Portal for Sweetwater ISD will be ready soon for returning student registration:

Portal Downtime: Maintenance starts Thursday, July 17 at 1 PM.

Registration Opens: Tuesday, July 22, returning-student registration will go live in the Parent Portal. You’ll find the link under the “Parents and Students” section of our website or you can use this link: https://portals14.ascendertx.com/ParentPortal/login?distid=177902

On the 22nd:

1. Log in to your Ascender Parent Portal.
2. Click the Returning Student Registration link under your student’s name.

Completing the returning student registration ensures your student’s information is accurate, up-to-date, and confirms their enrollment for the upcoming school year. Every student (even if nothing has changed) must be registered online.
