School offices and campuses will remain closed during this extension. Leaders in each respective district will continue to monitor recommendations from health and safety officials and announcements from state and federal elected officials in order to determine an appropriate date for return to school. Once a return-to-school date is selected, school officials from each ISD will alert their communities with ample notice through their usual channels of communication.
Please continue to watch our school Facebook Page and Website for more information. https://www.strawnschool.net/o/strawn-isd/page/coronavirus-covid-19-updates--10

We have created a Remind to help communicate about meals with those without internet! If your family needs meals which will be distributed M,W,F from 11-12, please join our Remind group by sending @h9ckck to 81010. Once you're in the group, you will be able to text us the number of meals you need. If you have any questions, please reach out! Please, everyone share this so we can get information out to families who may not see it otherwise.


Here are some fun Virtual Field Trips we found for the end of March through May!

Thank you to all who made our switch to online/at-home learning a smooth transition! Strawn ISD Administration and School Board have worked tirelessly with government officials and other districts' administration to give our students their best opportunity for success. Our technology director set up each student with his/her own google account and prepared Chromebooks for distribution. Newcastle ISD provided our district with 25 additional Chromebooks and around 60 cases, allowing us to send a Chromebook home with every one of our students. NISD's technology director shared information and tips on digital resources such as Google Classroom and Zoom Meetings. Our teachers have changed their teaching styles to accommodate our students home learning environments, provided packets to those without internet access, and have made themselves available through online live streams, text, call, and e-mail to answer any question students and parents might encounter. Our students' parents have worked with us to complete surveys, pick up materials, and provide the best at-home learning they can. We truly appreciate every single one of you and your contributions during this time. Our community is full of wonderful people who come together for our children. It's a great time to be a Greyhound!


Starting Monday, March 30th, we will begin distributing "to-go" meals to our students. These will be available from 11:00 AM - 12:00 noon, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Form a drive through line in the new gym parking lot, remain in your car, and Strawn ISD staff will deliver your meals to you!



Our administration and staff met families in the drive-through line with smiles and their instructional materials! Remember, we will do this each Thursday to drop off and pick up work. Thank you for coming by! If we can do anything for your family, please contact us.
