Wrangler WeeklyWeek of January 22, 2024

Message from Ms. Bratton, principal

Hello Wrangler families,


Today our students attended grade level presentations from Forever 15 ~ a special presentation regarding the dangers of fentanyl. In case you were unable to attend the district parent nights on this topic, below are some resources to help with follow up conversations at home.


We cannot just assume "my child would never..." and therefore not talk about it. We need to equip them with information to help guide not only their decisions but also their influence on their friends, helping them to also make good choices. This is how we build a strong community.


Please prioritize talking with your child about what they saw and what they felt and reviewing key information. Our guest speakers did an excellent job of emphasizing to "Be a good human. Do the right thing. Be a good person... a friend... a leader."

DEA One Pill Can Kill -- photos, statistics, videos specific for kids, parents


Finally, the first progress report of the grading period can be found in Skyward this evening. It is not uncommon for grades to be a little low at the start of the grading period with so few grades entered. However, we encourage students to utilize tutorials to bring up their grades. Checking in with teachers and getting some extra guidance can make all the difference. Please use the tutoring schedule below to help your student make a plan, or reach out to teachers if you have specific questions.


Go Wranglers!

Ms. Bratton

School Pantry Program

We are very excited to let you know about the School Pantry Program that is being made available at every Comal ISD campus. This program will allow students to receive food assistance on a weekly basis at no cost to you or your child’s school. Food will be delivered to your child’s campus each week and then bagged so that it can easily be sent home on Friday and enjoyed. Please email Katie Gaston at katherine.gaston@comalisd.org if you are interested in this program and an intake form will be sent home with your child.
