Snyder Intermediate School

One of our favorite events of the year is the Retired Teachers Luncheon—an opportunity to celebrate and honor individuals who have dedicated their lives to education. Guests received a warm welcome and were treated to a special performance by the SHS Pride of the West Band. They enjoyed a delicious meal prepared by the SFE Food Services catering crew and were served by the SHS Student Council and NHS members. The SHS Floral Design classes created beautiful centerpieces and a special take-home arrangement for each guest, adding an extra touch to this meaningful gathering.

It’s always a wonderful time to reconnect, reminisce, and show appreciation for these incredible educators. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event memorable!

Snyder ISD is now accepting referrals for students who may need Gifted/Talented Services for the school year. This program is designed for students who exhibit intellectual and creative thinking abilities at an extraordinary level not normally served in the regular classroom. Services are provided only upon identification of education needs of the student. Anyone wishing to refer a student attending Snyder ISD in kindergarten through twelfth grade this school year is asked to visit or go by the student’s campus office to request a copy of the referral form.

This form must be returned to the school by December 2, 2024. Those unable to go by the school should call the campus to request a form be sent to them.

Reminder! There is no school on Friday, November 1st! We hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween. Enjoy your long weekend! To view the district calendar, view www.snyderisd.net/calendar.

It's National Principals Month! Please join us in celebrating Mr. Fryar, Interim Principal of Snyder Primary School. A West Texas native from Coahoma and a graduate of Angelo State University, Mr. Fryar has 28 years of experience as an educator, coach, campus principal, and superintendent. After retirement, he has continued to serve schools in interim roles, guiding districts through transitions successfully. We're grateful for his wealth of knowledge and steady leadership as we've navigated a time of change. Join us in appreciating Mr. Fryar for all he does for our students, staff, and community. Thank you, Mr. Fryar! #NationalPrincipalsMonth #ThankAPrincipal #SnyderTigers

October is National Principals Month, and this week, we’re shining a spotlight on our exceptional leaders! First up is Ms. DeeAnna Blanton, Principal of Snyder Intermediate School. Although she’s new to Snyder, West Texas is home. In addition to leading our 4th and 5th grade campus, you’ll often find Ms. Blanton keeping books for volleyball games and helping out at football games. As a former K-12 principal, she’s no stranger to doing it all and stepping in wherever needed! Join us in appreciating Ms. Blanton for all that she does for our students, staff, and community. Thank you, Ms. Blanton! 🙌 #NationalPrincipalsMonth #ThankAPrincipal #SnyderTigers

Today marked another productive day at Snyder ISD. Participants in monthly instructional rounds enjoyed seeing the great things our classroom teachers are accomplishing firsthand! The group at Snyder Primary visited over 20 classrooms, while other teams observed classrooms at both the Intermediate and Junior High Schools. Superintendent Rauch, Trustee Leatherwood, and members of the Cabinet also participated in rounds.

The instructional rounds process, modeled after the medical rounds approach, aims to foster collaboration and professional growth among educators across Snyder ISD. By observing classroom instruction and learning from one another, participants gather insights that help identify trends and guide instructional support. It also allows administrative staff, trustees, and others to see how their work impacts campus staff and students. These rounds are held monthly and contribute to improving student outcomes district-wide.

Snyder ISD teachers demonstrated their dedication to providing quality instruction, and we believe their efforts will greatly benefit students! Keep up the GREAT work!

We want to thank everyone who attended the Parent Night Scavenger Hunt at Snyder Intermediate! The students pictured won the grand prizes and a fun project to kick off their summer break!
Students worked with their parents to solve riddles and answer STAAR questions for each subject. Once they answered the question correctly, they received the next clue. After finishing the scavenger hunt, students spun the wheel for prizes on the spot.

Mrs. Cade also wants to give out a shout-out to Mrs. Neff for creating the scavenger hunt. Everyone had a great time! #snydertigers
