It's Barnes Homecoming Week Lots of Things Going On
HEB was a great success. We took the largest Seguin ISD group every to camp. The camp staff had nothing but great things to say about our students and how respectful and kind they were. Thank you 6th graders and parents for being such a great representative of our school and for making us proud. Being my first HEB camp experience it was truly a wonderful experience and so glad that we got to carry on the tradition.

Gallup Poll Reminder
Good evening, families:
I wanted to share a quick reminder that time is running out to participate in Seguin ISD's Family Engagement Survey. This anonymous survey asks that you share your honest feedback with the District.
Questions will focus on our school environment, academic standards, strength and development, school communications, and school leadership. The survey is available in English or Spanish on any computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Survey links from Gallup were emailed directly to families on Monday, October 7. Please remember that all responses are confidential, and no one from Seguin ISD will know if or how you respond.
Your time, feedback, and support are appreciated as we work to make meaningful changes across Seguin ISD.
