Taking into account the most recent weather updates from the National Weather Service, we have decided to close all STISD campuses and offices tomorrow, Tuesday, Jan. 21, and to have a delayed start on Wednesday, Jan. 22. We will resume our regular schedule on Thursday as of now.

Out of an abundance of caution, STISD will have a delayed start district wide on Tuesday, Jan. 21. This delayed start includes all 7 STISD campuses.

Staff will need to report to campuses and offices by 9:00 a.m., and we will delay the start of classes until 10:00 a.m. We will adjust our campus schedules to accommodate the shorter day and end the day at the usual time of 4:05 p.m.
