Families with negative balances will receive reminders, payment links, and information about payment plans over the next several weeks via texts, emails, and letters home, so we can work together to clear accounts by May 1st.
Accounts may be referred to a third-party collection agency beginning May 1st only if the balance exceeds $100, is 90+ days past due, and multiple contact attempts have been made.
Most importantly, NO student will ever be denied a meal. Even if they have significant meal debt.
If you need help with payments or applying for free or reduced meals, please contact our Child Nutrition Department ⬇️

SSIS is incredibly lucky to have such an amazing educator on our team! Mrs. Wilkins has been nominated by her peers as our Teacher of the Year, and it’s easy to see why. She knows her content inside and out, pours her heart into her students, and is without a doubt our planning QUEEN! 👑📚
Her dedication, passion, and commitment to student success make a difference every single day. We are so thankful for everything you do for our school and our students, Mrs. Wilkins!

6th graders who want to try out for 7th grade cheerleading—don’t forget the Parent Meeting on Tuesday, March 3 at 5:30 PM in the SSIS Cafeteria.
To try out, you must have a current physical. The Panther Health and Wellness Clinic is offering $10 physicals for cheer tryouts on Thursday, March 5 during the school day. Students will be walked to the clinic at their appointment time, so parents do not need to attend.
To schedule an appointment, please click the link below and complete the registration form. This is the only $10 physical opportunity that PHWC is offering before cheer tryouts on March 11–12. These physicals are ONLY for cheerleading tryouts (other sports physicals will be offered at another time).

We look forward to helping you learn how CTE can prepare your student for future success! #PantherNation 🐾❤️
Parents, note that the city plans to fully remove and rebuild the swimming pool parking lot starting on Monday, February 16th, and it is estimated to last about 6 weeks. We know that several parents from Allen and Intermediate use this parking lot for pick up and drop off during the day. Please note this change and use the correct areas for each school for pick up and drop off. Thank you!
5th graders in Mrs. House's math class have been building and comparing decimals over the last few days! Great job Panthers! #ssis #PantherNation 🩷🐾
