About Socorro Independent School District
Socorro Independent School District is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all students at every campus in the district. SISD has been implementing the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program district-wide for three years and has seen positive gains on all campuses. The district’s 45 campuses conduct weekly Olweus Classroom Meetings to educate students about bullying and help them understand the harm that it causes to those who experience bullying.

The district has dedicated time and resources to educate everyone at the campuses about bullying and how to handle a bullying situation. Everyone from teachers, custodians, cafeteria staff, monitors, bus drivers, parent liaisons and parents should know and understand what bullying is and what to do if they see or experience a bullying situation.

This website is one of the resources the district has to help our parents and students learn more about bullying. For more information regarding our bullying prevention program, please contact Fernando Vasquez at 915.937.1609.
