2021-22 Start in Sheldon

SISD is passionate about the academic success of all students. That passion is balanced with the safety of our students and staff in mind. With careful review of the continued decrease in positive cases, as well as the vaccinations that continue to be distributed, SISD has made the decision to open our doors to welcome all students back inside our buildings to return to in-person learning effective August 11, 2021.

There will be limited opportunities to participate in virtual learning through Sheldon On Demand, and this will be a rigorous application process. Specific programs and courses may only be offered in person. 

**Students who receive virtual instruction may have a change in academic schedule to accommodate classes being offered through virtual learning.  

**Additionally, students receiving virtual instruction may not have the opportunity to participate in all extracurricular activities as some of these activities have a corresponding class on campus.

Parents wishing to apply for virtual learning for their child may complete the application by 4:30 p.m. April 23. This application is not for students returning face-to-face. Once applications are reviewed, the campus will schedule a Learner Location Placement Committee meeting to review the request, and the parent will be invited to attend. 

Campuses will consider the following when making a final decision about the placement of a virtual student:

• Grades
• Attendance
• Discipline
• Other factors (ie: social and/or emotional needs, etc.)
  
  

If a student’s application is not approved, that student will be expected to return to school in person for the 2021-2022 school year. We respectfully request that you inform your child’s campus if you do not intend to return to Sheldon ISD next school year.
