Snyder Junior High administration was informed that a student may intend to harm other students. Campus administration, the counselor, and the school resource officer began an investigation immediately. All students are safe, and the issue is being addressed.

While privacy laws prohibit us from discussing the discipline of any specific individual, we can assure you that any student found responsible for making threats of violence will face the consequences as allowed by both district policy and law.

We all play an essential role in ensuring school-wide safety. It is the responsibility of students, staff, and families to report any potential threats to the proper authorities. We appreciate the concern and help of the individuals who have taken this responsibility seriously by notifying the appropriate authorities.

🚨 How to report a safety concern:
Please report any information about weapons, threats, fights, drugs, self-harm, suicide, harassment (of any form), bullying, or any other concerning disclosures made to you or posted online.
Urgent Concerns: If you notice any suspicious activity or have safety concerns, report it immediately to the principals or school resource officer or call 911.
Non-urgent Concerns: please use the "See Something, Say Something" form, that can be found at www.snyderisd.net/safety.

In response to valuable feedback from a recent employee recruitment and retention survey, there's an exciting initiative underway at Snyder ISD. We're thrilled to introduce the Employee of the Month Award, allowing students, staff, and the community to recognize exceptional Snyder ISD employees.

Take a moment to reflect on remarkable individuals from any department or campus at Snyder ISD who consistently go above and beyond, making our schools a great place to learn and work.

Employee of the Month nominations are open until Sunday, April 28th, so don't miss the chance to nominate someone deserving. The winner will be announced on Tuesday, April 30th!

The winner will pick a prize from the Tiger Swag Store (coming soon!). We also welcome prizes from businesses interested in supporting this initiative. If your business would like to participate, please email vmorris@snyderisd.net.
