Dear Panther Community,
Welcome to the 2021-22 school year! Campuses were buzzing with excitement as students entered our schools with bright, smiling faces this week. What a terrific start to a much anticipated school kick-off! Working together SHISD students and staff are destined to accomplish great things in the months to come. I am extremely honored to be serving as the Superintendent for Spring Hill ISD, and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for our educational community!
Sincerely,
Penny Fleet

Healthy meals will be offered every school day to all students at no cost for the 2021-2022 school year. Typically, a student’s household must meet income eligibility requirements to qualify for free or reduced-price meals. However, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued guidance that allows schools to offer meals to all students at no cost for the 2021-2022 school year.
All students will be eligible for one free breakfast and one free lunch per school day. If a student would like to purchase an extra meal, ala carte items or snacks, they must have money loaded on their lunch account or pay with cash.
Pricing is as follows.
Grades Pre-K - 2:
Breakfast - $2.00
Lunch - $3.00
Grades 3-12:
Breakfast - $2.25
Lunch - $3.25
Extras & Snacks:
Ice Cream - $1.00
Tea - $0.75
Cookie - $0.75
Reduced Price Breakfast - $0.30
Reduced Price Lunch - $0.40
Visitor Breakfast - $2.75
Visitor Lunch - $4.50
While no application or eligibility determination process is required for your student to receive free meals this school year, the income eligibility requirement will likely resume in the 2022-2023 school year.

Spring Hill ISD Hosts Student Immunization Clinic
Spring Hill recently hosted an immunization clinic. Aurora Concepts administered immunizations needed for students to meet the State of Texas minimum immunization requirements for public school attendance. The event took place at Spring Hill Intermediate.
“Spring Hill is so pleased to offer our yearly student immunization clinic,” said Jaymie Walton, District Nurse. “It offers our parents an additional option to get their students up to date on immunizations before the school year begins.”
District Summer Projects Pave The Way For A Successful School Year
While students were away for summer break the work continued at Spring Hill ISD in preparation for the school year.
Spring Hill teachers participated in Reading Academies. Reading Academies training is part of a House Bill 3 initiative requiring kindergarten through third-grade teachers to complete a predetermined set of reading curriculum with the goal of positively impacting student literacy achievement.
Spring Hill ISD also upgraded its entire network with new switches, new fiber and programmed the network for more efficiency. "With this upgrade we went from speeds of 1 gigabit per second to 20 gigabits per second, making us 20 times faster now," said Steve Hardy, Director of Technology.
Staff members received instructional technology training. The training covered the use of interactive TVs, Google Jamboard, DisplayNote for screen sharing, and Google Sites for student projects, presentations, and portfolios.
District roofing and landscaping projects that began in the summer months are also nearing completion.
