CISD Families,
We are monitoring the cold weather front that is expected to arrive early next week. The district is making necessary preparations to ensure all students and staff stay safe and warm when classes resume on Tuesday. We will continue to keep everyone posted as the situation progresses.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Cleveland ISD! May you all have a wonderful rest of the year surrounded by those you love most. See you in 2025! #theClevelandISDway
We would like to provide clarification regarding the $400 stipend that was recently given to only teachers and IATs at the Pine Burr Elementary, Santa Fe Elementary, Santa Fe Middle School, and Cleveland Middle School campuses.
The stipend came from federal government funds under the Title I ESSA (Every Student Succeeds Act). As a financial incentive to retain teaching staff in Title I schools that are identified for improvement under section 1111(d), new provisions were included for the 24-25 school year and beyond. These four campuses were the only CISD campuses to meet the criteria necessary for this stipend to be provided.
Please understand that this stipend comes from federal funds and does NOT come from local CISD tax dollars, nor does the district have any control over how the funds are distributed.
Superintendent McCanless and CISD Administration will be reviewing this incentive and entering discussions with state and federal education directors in order to see how future incentives may or may not affect ALL of Cleveland ISD.
The Cleveland ISD May 2025 school bond referendum initiative has been suspended. Cleveland ISD will communicate future bond plans in late 2025. If you have questions or concerns, please email info@clevelandisd.org.
Congrats to Mr. Jesus Ornelas, Facility Specialist at SFMS and SFE, for receiving a shout out for his dedication to the campuses and students!! Well deserved! #MaintenanceShoutout #theClevelandISDway

🎄✨ A PBE Christmas Story to remember! ✨🎄
Our school Christmas tree was looking festive, but there was one thing missing… the most important piece of all – the Christmas star! 🌟 It went unnoticed by everyone, until one thoughtful and sweet student, Serenity Moffett, spotted the mistake. 💫 Serenity didn’t just notice—it * she took action*. She approached our Principal with a simple, yet meaningful suggestion: "The tree needs its star!" 🌟 And that's not all! Serenity, along with her wonderful teacher Ms. Willson, crafted a beautiful Christmas star that will now shine atop our tree for years to come. 🎁🌟
What a beautiful reminder of kindness, creativity, and the true spirit of Christmas. Thank you, Serenity and Ms. Willson, for making our holiday season even brighter! 💖
🎄🎁 This holiday season, we are reminded that our most valuable gift is not under the tree, but right here with us every day—our amazing students and staff! 🌟❤️
🎄🎉 Our school is so full of holiday cheer! 🎅🏼👕 Ugly Sweater galore! Everyone from students to teachers were getting into the festive spirit with the silliest, sparkliest, and most creative holiday sweaters we could find! 🦌✨
🎄✨ It's that time of year again! At PBE we had our Ugly Sweater Day last Friday! 🎉
Whether it was reindeer, snowmen, or some seriously questionable designs, we were embracing all the holiday cheer! 🙌 Swipe through to see the wildest sweaters on campus. 😂🎅
🎄✨Such a joyful reminder that the best part of the season is seeing the magic through the eyes of our children. 🌟🎄
🌟🎄 Yesterday was Christmas Tree Dress-Up Day, and our students brought the festive cheer with their amazing tree-inspired outfits! From twinkling lights to glittery ornaments, every kiddo looked like they stepped straight out of a holiday wonderland. ✨🎁
