Welcome to Volume 1 of the STISD College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) Newsletter for the 2024-2025 school year.

We hope you find the information shared in our newsletters valuable for your child. We look forward to continued collaboration to ensure our South Texas ISD graduates are College, Career, and Military Ready!

You’re invited to join us Sept. 3-5 as STISD and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) co-host parent information meetings to present basic information about the Expanded Collegiate Partnership and details regarding the application process for upcoming cohorts.

For the first time in district history, all students at South Texas Independent School District (STISD) will eat free during the 2024-2025 School Year. The district is approved to participate in the Community Eligibility Program (CEP) for the year, which will allow all STISD students to eat both breakfast and lunch at no cost to the family.

Parents/guardians of all new and returning STISD students are asked to complete their child’s electronic registration packet through Skyward, our student information system, by Wednesday, July 31. 

This process should only take a few minutes to complete, and it will make a big impact on your Schedule Pick-Up experience. If you have not already done so, please log into your Parent/Guardian Skyward Family Access to complete your child’s electronic registration packet.

Educational Results Partnership (ERP) recently released its ninth annual “Honor Roll” list, which recognizes top public schools, school districts and charter schools that have outperformed their peers in closing achievement gaps, particularly among higher-poverty and historically disadvantaged student populations.

STISD earned a spot on this year’s Texas Honor Roll Districts list, while four STISD campuses earned spots on the Honor Roll Schools list, including Health Professions, Preparatory Academy, Rising Scholars, and World Scholars.

Three students from STISD Science Academy were selected to participate in this year's STEM Enhancement in Earth Science (SEES) Summer High School Intern Program in collaboration with The University of Texas Center for Space Research (UT/CSR) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Student registration is required each year for all new and returning students. Electronic registration packets are now available for parents/guardians to complete through Skyward Family Access. Read for more information on this process.
