Big Sandy ISD is aware of threatening messages that have been distributed via social media around East Texas and other areas of the state. Currently, these messages don’t impact our district, and this was confirmed after talking to the Upshur County Sheriff’s Department. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you all informed if anything changes.
Hello Parents,
Last Friday, school administrators were made aware of a threat that was sent to our school district through social media. Three different law enforcement agencies investigated the threat and determined that there was no immediate danger to our school or our students.
Student safety is always our most important priority in Big Sandy ISD.

Today, we will again have to adjust and combine our bus routes due to a shortage of bus drivers. Students who ride the busses that run on FM 1002 and FM 1795 will be a part of this combination. We expect the last group of students to be dropped off around 5:30 pm. This is the same route combination that the district ran for a couple of days last week. We apologize for the inconvenience. We are working on finding more bus drivers in the district. Thank you for your patience.
Hello Big Sandy Family. Due to a shortage of bus drivers, the district will need to combine two bus routes again tomorrow (Wednesday, Sept. 7th and Thursday Sept. 8th) in the afternoon. Kids who ride the busses that run on FM 1002 and FM 1795 will be a part of this combination. We expect the last group of students to be dropped off around 5:30 pm. This is the same route combination that the district ran last Monday. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any questions, give us a call.
If you or anyone you know is interested in driving a bus for the district, give our Director of Transportation, Mr. Larry Strickland a call. We can always use more drivers in our district.
The power is out on campus again this afternoon. Therefore all volleyball games have been canceled. Hoping for a better day tomorrow!
Due to today’s power outage, Big Sandy ISD will cancel school for the remainder of the day. If your student came to school, we will contact you personally to pick them up. All bus riders who had guardians at home have been dropped off.
All extracurricular activities scheduled for this evening are still on as a planned.
Thank you for your patience the last two days as we have dealt with some irregular issues in our district.
The Administrative team and Transportation Department at Big Sandy ISD will continue to monitor the weather and road conditions throughout the evening and into the early morning hours. If the need arises to adjust the school day, we will announce the news on our Facebook page, website and text messaging system. Student safety is the most important factor in making decisions regarding the school day.
Today, the district was alerted of a possible tornado in the Big Sandy area. Out of an abundance of caution, the district went into a tornado lockdown. At 11:00 am, we were given the all clear and students returned to their classes. Thank you to all of our staff and administrators for keeping our kids safe. We will continue to monitor the weather today and alert you if anything else occurs. Thanks for trusting us with your children.
This summer, we are teaming with Love Big Sandy Project to provide school supplies for kids. Help us get the word out so all of our kids have what they need to start the year! Let's tell everyone to "Stuff The Bus" that is parked out in the front of the high school gym with school supplies.
Just a reminder - All offices will be closed for the week of July 5th - 9th. We will be back in the offices on Monday, July 12th.
