Back to School 2026-2027

📏The ruler!

We are excited to kick off the 2026-2027 school year!

Our campuses and staff have been hard at work this summer preparing for another incredible year. From new opportunities for students and updated learning experiences to continued improvements in safety, technology, and campus support, there is so much to look forward to.

At Silsbee ISD, we know each school year brings new goals, fresh beginnings, and exciting memories waiting to be made. Whether your family has been with us for years or you’re joining Tiger Nation for the first time, we are grateful you are part of our district.

We cannot wait to see our hallways filled with students again and kick off a year full of growth, success, and unforgettable moments. Here’s to an amazing 2026–2027 school year at Silsbee ISD!

Silsbee Independent School District is committed to educational success through innovation and technology integration for all our students. Annually, our district receives numerous academic accolades, fine arts honors, and athletic championships, which is a direct reflection of our student and staff commitment.

This dedication to Silsbee ISD goes to enriching educational opportunities for our student body over four campuses that has roughly 2,400 students that come from diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds.

Assistant Superintendent, Bridget Kirby

District Administration

All regular meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month and begin at 7 p.m., except for the December meeting. All meetings are held at the Silsbee ISD Administration Office.

If a meeting changes, a notice will be on the front door of the administration office and on the district website.

At Silsbee ISD, the safety and well-being of our students and staff is our top priority. We are deeply committed to creating and maintaining a secure learning environment across all campuses. As part of this commitment, each campus is assigned a dedicated officer to help ensure a daily presence that fosters both safety and strong relationships with students and staff.

Under the leadership of Chief Kenny Davenport, the Silsbee ISD Police Department includes additional officers who work collectively to provide district-wide support and rapid response capabilities. The officers include: Ofc. Danielle Norris, and Ofc. Mike Pieper. This team plays a vital role in preventing, preparing for, and responding to safety concerns throughout the district.

Jennifer Fisher is a lead in the district-wide efforts in school safety. She works closely with campus and district leadership to coordinate safety initiatives, provide timely updates and reports, and offer strategic recommendations to the superintendent on safety-related matters. She also serves as a point of contact for safety communication across schools and helps ensure that best practices are in place to protect students and staff.

In addition to her safety responsibilities, Mrs. Fisher serves as the district’s attendance officer, supporting campuses in interpreting and enforcing compulsory attendance laws. She will assist in addressing truancy, excessive absences, and tardiness, while serving as a key liaison between Silsbee ISD, parents, law enforcement, and court personnel.

Silsbee ISD follows a 9-week grading period, as outlined in the Academic Calendar.
