Congratulations 8th Grade

Dear SISD Families, Students and staff are safe. I am writing to provide you with an important update regarding an event that occurred at school today. At approximately 3:50 we were made aware of a potential threat at Sweetwater Middle 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 administration and local law enforcement. We understand these events can be unsettling, and we want to assure you that the safety and well being 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. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this time. Sincerely, Kevin Stoker

📢 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.
