💚 Welcome Back, Officer Gaytan! 💚

We’re happy to share that Officer Gaytan has returned to Overton ISD on a full-time basis. His temporary, part-time patrol assignment with Overton PD—due to a staffing shortage—has ended, and we’re excited to have our beloved SRO fully back on campus.

We appreciate the continued partnership with Overton PD and are grateful for Officer Gaytan’s commitment to our students, staff, and community.

It’s a great day to be a Mustang! 🐎💚

📅 Important Calendar Update – Friday, February 6

Due to our recent weather-related school closure, Overton ISD must make up two regular attendance days to meet TEA instructional minute requirements. Our goal is to make up these days during the school year on previously non-attendance days, rather than extending the school year.

As a result, this coming Friday, February 6, will be a regular, full attendance school day for all students, with normal start and end times.

• 🚌 All bus routes will run as normal

• 🍽️ Breakfast and lunch will be served as on any regular school day

• 📚 This is a regular school day in all respects, with full instruction and attendance taken

The second make-up day will be Friday, May 1, which was previously designated as a flex day. More reminders will be shared as that date approaches.

Thank you for your continued flexibility and support as we work to keep our calendar on track and avoid extending the school year. It’s a great day to be a Mustang! 💚🐎

Overton ISD will return to school tomorrow, Thursday, Jan 29th on a normal schedule.

While we understand temperatures may drop below freezing again tonight, the sunshine and higher temperatures this afternoon have made a significant improvement in thawing and clearing roadways across our area.

As always, please travel safely. We look forward to seeing our students and staff back at school in the morning.

It’s a great day to be a Mustang!

School Update – Wednesday, January 28

While we had anticipated today’s higher temperatures would clear road conditions, overcast skies and lower-than-forecast temperatures have left many county and rural roads with treacherous conditions. This is compounded by staff and students who travel from surrounding communities where conditions are even worse.

Although temperatures are expected to reach the 50s tomorrow, freezing conditions will linger long enough to make a late start unfeasible.

For these reasons, and to ensure the safety of our students and staff, Overton ISD will be closed on Wednesday, January 28.

This will be a make-up day of attendance, and the date will be scheduled later in the semester.

Classes will resume on Thursday, January 29, at normal times.

Additionally, Varsity Basketball games at New Summerfield have been moved to Thursday night. MS games will still be played at home. JV Boys may be rescheduled.

🚨 Overton ISD Closed – Tuesday, January 27 🚨

Due to continued concerns with road conditions, overnight refreezing, and power outages in surrounding areas, Overton ISD will be CLOSED on Tuesday, January 27.

Many rural and shaded roads are expected to remain icy, and safety remains our top priority for students and staff—especially those traveling from surrounding communities.

📅 Important Schedule Updates:

🏫 School will resume on a normal schedule Wednesday, January 28

🏀 Tuesday’s basketball games have been moved to Wednesday

🕛 Friday, February 6 will be an early-release, regular attendance day for all students (previously scheduled as an enrichment day)

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Please stay safe and warm.

It’s a Great Day to be a Mustang. 🐎💚

Community Safety Notice

Overton ISD is aware of information that may be circulating within our school community regarding a report made at our elementary campus late yesterday afternoon.

At the end of the school day, a student made a statement to a classmate claiming that he had firearms on his person. The classmate appropriately reported the statement to a teacher, and the matter was immediately taken seriously.

Overton ISD administration, in collaboration with our School Resource Officer and the Overton Police Department, conducted a full investigation. The claim was found to be false. The student did not have firearms, nor does the student have access to firearms. At no point was there an actual threat to students or staff.

Appropriate consequences were assigned in accordance with district policy, and the investigation has been closed.

We want to commend the student who reported the concern and the staff who responded promptly. Situations like this reinforce the importance of speaking up and following established safety protocols.

The safety of our students and staff is always our top priority. We appreciate the continued trust and partnership of our parents and community, and we remain committed to transparency and proactive communication whenever concerns arise.

If you have questions or need additional reassurance, please feel free to contact your campus administration.

It’s a Great Day to be a Mustang.
