Strawn ISD

We are so happy to be able to open our doors to our students again! Speaking of doors... check out these positive messages our staff created on theirs! More photos on our Facebook page.

Strawn ISD will reopen tomorrow, February 24th, at regular time. Students and staff are encouraged to bring water bottles from home, but drinking water will be available on campus as well. Strawn ISD will follow CDC recommendations following handwashing with a 60 percent alcohol-based hand sanitizer. All COVID-19 protocols are still in place. Bus will run as usual.

Our Lady Hounds made it to the quarterfinals! Game will be Wednesday, February 24th, 6:00 PM, in Eastland.

Mr. Mitchell had an updated visit at 9:05 pm tonight with our Strawn city secretary and the water samples are not yet at a level to lift the mandatory boil water mandate in Strawn. Even though Strawn School has drinking water available, with all utilities and facilities functioning, due to an abundance of caution, we will not have school on Tuesday, February 23rd to maintain 100% safety for our students and staff. I will have daily meetings and updates on the status of our Strawn water and will keep you informed. Thanks again for your patience and understanding during this water crisis. - Mr. Mitchell

The winter storm has caused challenges and trauma for many of our students' families, as well as community members. President Biden approved a major disaster declaration for Texas, which allows homeowners and renters to apply for disaster assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency. FEMA: www.disasterassistance.gov 800-621-3362 (TTY: 800-462-7585) Please call 2-1-1 if you are in need and have questions related to relief efforts. 2-1-1 www.211northtexas.org If you or your family have a specific need, please let our campus know and we will assist in obtaining information about resources available.

Due to the mandatory boil water notice Strawn ISD will be closed Monday, February 22nd. City and school administration will reevaluate the water situation concerning additional sources for drinking water on campus. Updates will be forthcoming.

Earlier this week, Strawn ISD was fortunate enough to be gifted multiple NEW books for our library. Today they were made available to the students and most were check out before lunch! The series received were Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dog Man, Cat Kid, and Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales. These books span the interest levels of Kindergarten through 8th grade. We are so grateful for this generous gift of books that our students have been requesting and are very excited to see them checked out so quickly! Thank you to Meghan Carter, Stacie Frye, Venessa VanWinkle Hobbs, Brenda Lingle, Penny Lingle, Sarah Lingle & her two boys (Hayes & Tyson), Jack Reyna, and one anonymous donor for giving the gift of reading!

Lady Hounds head into the playoffs. Congratulations!
