Regular school attendance is essential for students to earn the full value of his or her education. Daily attendance allows students the benefit of: teacher-led instruction, peer discussion, building each day’s learning on the previous day’s learning, participating in school activities, and growing as individuals. Absences may result in serious disruption of a student’s mastery of instruction; therefore, the student and parent should make every effort to avoid unnecessary absences. Students will need to be present at school for at least 90% of the time for the school year in order to meet attendance requirements for promotion.

Parents, Chromebook distribution has begun! It is imperative that you click this link (http://tiny.cc/sisd2021) to reserve or acknowledge receipt of a Chromebook/hotspot for your student. Please know that your participation drives the sense of urgency from the district to get Chromebooks and hotspots out to students quickly.

For Spring ISD 8th- 11th-grade students, it’s the time of year to think about signing up to take the Preliminary SAT, or PSAT, test (also referred to as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, or NMSQT).

The PSAT/NMSQT for 10th- and 11th-Grade Spring ISD students is on Oct. 13 this year, while students in Grade 8 and 9 will have the opportunity to take the test on different days designated for their campus between Oct. 11 - 15.

The PSAT is a great opportunity for rising high schoolers and high school underclassmen to experience the rigors and challenges of studying for and taking standardized college admissions tests. The PSAT is very similar in format to the SAT and makes a great practice test before taking the actual SAT.

Not only is the PSAT a great way to help get ready for later college admissions testing on the SAT or even the ACT, but the PSAT is also the qualifying test for the National Merit Scholarship Program, which has recognized over 3.3 million students and provided scholarships worth more than $1.8 billion since 1955.

The annual update process for returning Spring ISD students for the 2021-22 school year is now open. All parents and guardians should verify and update their child’s information.

Just like last year, parents/guardians will need to log into the Spring ISD website at www.springisd.org and then click on the MySpringISD icon which will take you into the portal. From there, please go to the Home Access Center (HAC) to access the annual update. Once in HAC, please find the Registration Icon and select the Update Enrollment tab. Under “Available Forms”, select “Start” to complete the 2022 Returning Student Registration Form.

Parents with more than one student in the district will need to complete a separate registration for each child.
