Back to School
Get ready for an amazing year! The first day of the 2026-27 school year is Tuesday, August 11, 2026.
Student Registration
Registration is required annually for both students returning to SISD schools as well as those enrolling for the first time. This process should be completed as soon as possible to help Sherman ISD plan effectively and provide a strong start for every student. In addition to the online form, families must also provide proof of residency annually and any other required documents, such as updated immunization records.

School Hours
Elementary parents, please note that based on designated breaks in the approved 2026-27 academic calendar, 10 minutes have been added to the beginning of the school day in order to meet state requirements for instructional minutes. School hours will be 7:30 a.m. - 3:15 p.m. at the elementary level. This is consistent with hours for early childhood schools. School hours will remain unchanged at other campuses.
Meal Changes
Senate Bill 314, passed by the Texas Legislature in 2025, will prohibit schools participating in the National School Lunch Program from serving foods that contain artificial dyes and other identified ingredients. As a result, some breakfast and lunch items may look different. While the appearance may change, the foods will continue to meet quality and nutrition standards.
School Supplies
See what early childhood, elementary and middle school students need for the upcoming school year. There is no set list of school supplies at the high school level due to the wide variety of courses that students can take. For added convenience, families can also purchase their back-to-school supplies online in a pre-bundled pack.
Get Involved on Campus!
Sherman ISD welcomes parents and community members to volunteer at our schools, and there are numerous ways you can get involved! All volunteers must reapply annually and submit a new background check for the coming school year after July 1.
