What is a Hybrid Calendar?

At Snyder ISD, we are committed to surrounding our students with the best resources, teachers, and learning environments. To recruit and retain top-tier staff while enhancing the overall educational experience, the Board of Trustees voted to adopt a HYBRID calendar starting in 2023. Due to the calendar's popularity with staff and its positive impact on school life, the Board unanimously voted for it to continue.

This calendar was developed with valuable input from parents, students, staff, and the community to ensure it supports student attendance, maximizes instructional time, and fosters a better work-life balance for everyone involved.

We are excited about the continued success of the hybrid calendar and its ability to help our district thrive. To view the full calendar, click here: www.snyderisd.net/calendar.

“A gift!”

“I know as a mom of three, I have thoroughly enjoyed having these extra Fridays off and not having to take days for simple things like dentist appointments, orthodontist appointments, eye doctors, etc. There was even one Friday morning we had off that I was getting to spend at home with my young child and I remember thinking that it felt like a GIFT. I felt like Snyder ISD GIFTED me with that time with my child that I wouldn’t otherwise have...It’s icing on the cake for me wanting to stay here throughout the rest of my career!”

“Helped with burnout...”strong>

“I have really enjoyed the calendar with the additional days off. This has personally helped with burnout, especially during the harder/longer parts of the school year.”
