Hello Big Sandy Family. Due to a shortage of bus drivers Monday morning, Bus 100 will be running about 40 minutes later than usual. Students on this bus will be dropped off at school no later than 8:15 am. Students will not be marked tardy or absent and if they still need to eat breakfast, the will be given the opportunity to do so. Thanks for your patience.

Hello Big Sandy ISD Parents, This morning at about 8:20, the power on all three campuses went out. As of right now, the power has not been restored and we have not received a definite answer on when it might be restored. Because our students are currently in the dark on campus, we've made the decision to begin an early dismissal process for all students. Car pick-up will be available immediately and staff will remain on campus until all car riders have been picked up or delivered by bus. Bus routes will start as close to 9:30 as possible and will be returning students to their homes. Elementary students who don't have anyone at home will be returned to school and we will make arrangements with parents on how to pick up your students. We are sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused for you today. Thanks for your understanding as we navigate this difficult situation.

Congratulations to the following numbers these will be your cheerleaders for 2023-2024.

Hello Big Sandy Family. Today in one of our Junior High science labs, the gas line was turned on and left on for about 10 minutes. Staff immediately cleared out the room and opened the doors to air out the area. For a time, the smell of gas filled the hallways, but at no time were any of the students in danger. The smell has now gone away and students are all safe and sound. Have a great weekend!

Big Sandy plans on having a regular school day tomorrow starting at 8:00 am. If conditions change we will announce it before 6:00 am tomorrow morning.

Big Sandy ISD will be closed today due to anticipated freezing precipitation over the next couple of hours. Please be safe today. We will see you all tomorrow!

Local news station KETK has Big Sandy ISD closed for the entire day tomorrow. This is not correct. As of now, the district has delayed its start tomorrow until 10:00 am. District officials will be checking roads and continuing to monitor the weather early in the morning to determine if any more action regarding the school day will need to take place. We apologize for any confusion.

Big Sandy ISD will delay opening tomorrow until 10:00. All bus routes will run on a 2 hour delay. Tonight’s basketball games (varsity only) are still scheduled to be played in Union Grove starting at 4:00. We will continue to monitor the weather and road conditions throughout the night and will announce any other possible decisions about tomorrow’s school day no later than early tomorrow morning.
