Strawn ISD

Strawn ISD will be closed Thursday, February 3rd and Friday, February 4th, due to inclement weather and icy conditions. Please stay safe and warm, and we will see you back on Monday, February 7, 2022.

Tonight's game has been cancelled.

In the event that we need to have a delayed start or cancel school, our Facebook page & website will be updated as soon as a decision is made. You will also receive a call and an SMS message from our automated system about these decisions. If there are no updates sent, school will continue as scheduled.

SCHEDULE CHANGE: Adjustments have been made due to weather. Wednesday's basketball games against Three Way will begin at 5:00 PM with the Varsity Girls, and the Varsity Boys' game will follow. This will be at the Tarleton Wisdom Gym in Stephenville.

Candy Gram order forms are going home with students today! This fundraiser will benefit the Strawn Junior Class. All order forms & payment are due by Thursday, February 10th.

February 2022 Cafeteria Menu Please remember that we WILL have school on Friday, February 11th, to make up for our closure last week. All meals are free to students thanks to the USDA! You can find our daily menu in the Dining section of the app and website as well! https://www.strawnschool.net/dining

School Closing Due to Illness: Currently 25% of our student body and 30% of our staff are home sick or quarantining. To help alleviate the issue we will close school Thursday, January 20th and Friday, January 21st. These days will be made up on Friday, February 11th and Friday, April 1st. Any additional closures may result in minutes added to the school day or more days added onto the school year. Please know that closing the school is a difficult decision that we don’t make lightly. We advise parents and students to keep gatherings outside of school to a minimum to help stop the spread. We look forward to seeing everyone Monday, January 24th.

If you have any questions about the stock show, please call (254) 672-5776 to speak to Mr. Thornton. Unfortunately his cell phone is broken, but he is working to get it replaced as quickly as possible. In the meantime, you can contact him on the Strawn ISD office line.

Congratulations to Justin Patton & Brighton Newsom on their photography projects at the Palo Pinto County Fair!
