Sundown ISD

School is officially cancelled for Tuesday and Wednesday, November 8th and 9th (Monday Nov 7th is already a school holiday) next week. As our Band has qualified for the State Marching Contest to be held on Tuesday, November 9th. Sundown ISD has decided to cancel school for Tuesday and Wednesday, to allow for safe travel for our Band, for the students, and the community that will travel to San Antonio for the Band Competition. Tuesday will be a full day of competing, and the Band will return home on Wednesday. We are very proud of "The Pride of the Oil Patch", and want to allow any and all community members to make the trek to San Antonio to cheer on our Band! Monday is already a scheduled school holiday, so we are now adding Tuesday and Wednesday of next week as school holidays as well. Thank you for your continued support of Sundown ISD.
