Dear Seguin ISD Community,

It is with a very heavy heart to report that yesterday, Chloe Belicek, a Seguin High School senior, succumbed to injuries from an auto accident.

Chloe was a bright, engaging young lady who embodied the Matador Spirit. She was loved by her teachers, coaches, administrators and fellow students, especially her teammates on the volleyball and softball teams, and those who were her friends in FFA.

She will be missed by our Matador Family. Please join me in keeping the family and friends of Chloe Belicek in your prayers.

Seguin High School counselors will be available for as long as necessary to help support our students and staff following the loss of Chloe.

We will share information on upcoming services and memorials as details become available.

Regards,
Dr. Vijil
Superintendent

Widespread heavy rainfall last night and this morning across much of the Hill Country and Rio Grande Plains has produced some flooding and river flooding across areas that needed the rainfall. But with that heavy rain has also brought flooded roads and flooded low water crossings, along with rises on creeks and rivers. Even in areas where the rain is letting up, high water will remain through the rest of the day.

Additional showers and storms are possible later today and this evening especially along and east of I-35 so the threat of locally heavy rain will continue. Several inches of rain (1-3 inches) are still possible with these thunderstorms. The threat for locally heavy rainfall on Wednesday will remain mainly along and east of I-35, especially in the coastal plains region. High chances of rain will continue across the eastern 2/3rds of the area through the end of the week as the near stagnant upper level low remains over Texas.
