Winnsboro ISD

Winnsboro ISD is so proud of WMIS teacher Gretchen Holt for being named Teacher of the Year at the annual Winnsboro Chamber of Commerce Banquet last week! This well deserved honor reflects her dedication, passion, and commitment to our students.

WISD would like to give a big shout-out to our Maintenance Department! They stepped up today to make sure we had the supplies needed to safely welcome students back to school tomorrow. We couldn’t do this important work without their dedication to creating safe and supportive learning environments. Thank you!

Winnsboro ISD will resume classes tomorrow, Friday, January, 30 at our normal start time. While the boil water notice remains in effect, we will have bottled water available for all students and hand sanitizer readily accessible. Any water needed in the cafeteria will also be bottled water. Thank you for your patience and understanding over the past few days, we truly appreciate your support!

Due to a water main break and the issuance of a boil water notice, we are unable to safely provide sanitary water for students and staff at this time. Out of an abundance of caution, school will be closed tomorrow, Thursday, January 29. We are actively making arrangements to ensure that school can resume safely on Friday and will share additional updates as they become available. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we prioritize the health and safety of our school community.

Winnsboro ISD is excited to welcome students back tomorrow, Thursday, January 29th! School will start at the normal time, and buses will run their regular routes. Thank you for your patience and understanding during the recent inclement weather.

Due to concerns of overnight freezing temperatures that could affect road conditions, Winnsboro ISD has decided to cancel classes for tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28. Our major concerns are our rural roads and early bus routes. The safety of our staff and students is our top priority. We will continue to monitor conditions and will communicate any changes to the schedule for Thursday as soon as possible. Information regarding activities originally scheduled for Wednesday will be updated soon. Please stay safe and warm!

Winnsboro ISD will continue to monitor road conditions throughout the day. Our top priority is always the safety of our students and staff. A decision regarding classes for tomorrow will be made by 6:00 PM tonight. Thank you for your patience and continued support, please stay safe and watch for updates!

Due to overnight road conditions and inclement weather, Winnsboro ISD, out of an abundance of caution, has decided to cancel classes for Tuesday, January 27. All school events scheduled for Tuesday have also been canceled. Once events have been rescheduled, we will share the new dates and times. We truly appreciate our parents and families for your flexibility and understanding, your support helps us always put student and staff safety first.

Official Statement from Winnsboro ISD Board of Trustees
To: Winnsboro ISD Community
From: The Winnsboro ISD School Board

Recently, you may have heard about allegations regarding Winnsboro ISD that happened last school year. We would like nothing more than to share important details with our community; however, state law prohibits us from discussing anything surrounding the allegations, including the student involved, former employees, or district personnel.

Your Board of Trustees and Winnsboro ISD leaders stand committed to sharing the truth if and when the law allows. We caution others who are perpetuating misinformation or distraction from the facts that by doing so, they may open themselves and others to future liability.

Please know, as we navigate this very frustrating situation, that we are praying for all involved and want to reassure our parents and community that today, class is in session. Our teachers are teaching, our principals are focused on their students and staff, and your Board is focused on governing your school district. We will not allow this to distract us from the main thing, which is educating and caring for each and every one of our students in Winnsboro ISD.

Great things are still happening in our schools!

Winnsboro ISD would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to First Methodist Church and Pastor Debbie Lyons for sponsoring a meaningful student wellness program for our 6th–12th grade students. We are truly grateful for your support and partnership in helping guide and encourage our students.
Thank you for making a difference in the lives of our Winnsboro Raiders!

During the December WISD School Board Meeting, board members proudly honored our WISD Staff Member of the Month, Marla Williamson, and our Student of the Month, Alicia Gonzalez. Congratulations to both for their hard work, dedication, and the positive impact they make each day at WISD!

During last night’s regular school board meeting, the Winnsboro ISD Board of Trustees officially named Aaron Nation as Superintendent of Schools for Winnsboro ISD. Mr. Nation has served as Interim Superintendent since September and was named the lone finalist in December. WISD congratulates Mr. Nation and looks forward to continuing the great work and positive momentum already underway across our district.

WISD wishes you a Happy New Year! Here’s to a year filled with learning, growth, and success for our students, staff, and families!!!

Below is an end-of-semester message from our WISD Interim Superintendent, Aaron Nation.
