Dear Pirate Family,
On Wednesday, September 30, the remote learning contract for the second nine week grading period will be available. This contract will last until January 6th. If you plan for your child to remain remote, we ask that you sign the agreement by October 7th. The State has made this option available this year due to COVID. The intent is to give families an option of remote learning if there is a health concern regarding the virus.
As a reminder the remote option is not for vacations, hunting trips, cruises etc. It is to provide support for families during COVID. As soon as you feel comfortable, we need your child in face to face instruction because we know that, educationally, this is the best for them. Also, our teachers are essentially working two jobs: face to face and online learning. Most of our teachers are working at least 12+ hours a day because of both of these platforms. This is another reason that if you do not have a health concern, we need your child face to face. However, if the Covid virus is causing concern for your family, then you are encouraged to exercise the remote learning option.
Pirate On,
Morgan Wright
Spurger ISD Superintendent
Today's Self-Care Saturday Tip....Healthy Sleep! Are you getting enough sleep? Make sure to take care of yourselves during this season and get plenty of rest. #piratecare
Mrs. LeBouef's English 3 participating in a mock Puritan/Witch trial as they completed reading the Crucible! Students learned about mob mentality and the dangers of accusing without evidence. Great job Mrs. LeBouef!
Wow! That is so cool! Students enjoyed Show and Tell in Mrs. Cooley's 2nd grade class today. 😊
Kindergarten is the apple of Mrs. Saulsbury's eye! They each enjoyed their own apple pie today for Johnny Appleseed week. 🍎 😊
Take me out to the ball game, or better yet, take me to Ms. Martindale's 4th grade science class. Students had a ball learning about the properties of matter. 😊
It has been a great start for SHS!!!

We would like to share with you an opportunity to help our neighbors in Newton, as they recover from Hurricane Laura. Items may be brought to the Elementary on Friday and will be delivered Saturday. Thank you. 😊
Dear Pirate Family, I’m glad we all made it through the storm safely and avoided catastrophic destruction. I know many of you all are dealing with power issues. Due to power and internet fluctuations we are going to have all staff begin on Monday and students will restart remote learning Tuesday. Hopefully, this will give the power companies time to resolve the fluctuation issues.
