Bear Boulevard News

Dear Bear Boulevard Families,

It is with great excitement that I welcome you to the 2023-2024 school year. We are so excited to get to know each of our families and students. I am entering my 18th year as a campus principal, 14 of which have been in SBISD, and the opening of school is always one filled with excitement and butterflies as we prepare for the first day of school. I cannot wait to see our sweet faces begin their journey to become a T-2-4 graduate.

In Spring Branch ISD, you will hear the phrase T-2-4 graduate a lot. The term references the notion that we want every SBISD graduate will attain a technical certificate, military training, or a two-year or four-year degree. Through the work of many collaborative teams, we have developed Core Characteristics of a T-2-4 Ready Graduate and have defined who we want our students to become as they grow and develop during their years in SBISD. These six Core Characteristics have guiding statements, three big supporting ideas each and milestones from the student perspective. During each phase of their education in SBISD, we will be monitoring and supporting the development of those characteristics and that work begins August 16th in Pre-Kindergarten! For more information on the SBISD Core Characteristics, please click here.

This newsletter contains information you may have received during registration, but my hope is that the electronic one is helpful to you and your families as the information will be in one spot. Additionally, there are sections that cover school safety, arrival and dismissal, the SBISD Volunteer Registration Process and other content.

I look forward to seeing you on August 14th or 15th for our Meet the Teacher Orientation and September 28th for our Open House from 5-6 p.m.! If I can be of assistance to you, please reach out to me at stefanie.spencer@springbranchisd.com. Additionally, you may use our campus website as a resource, as well. If you are a Twitter user, be sure to sure to follow the Bear Boulevard School: @BBS_Learns!

Please feel encouraged to forward this newsletter to families who have not registered their child- registration dates are below. We would love to get everyone registered well in advance of the start of the school year, preferably by August 3rd so that bus transportation for the first day of school can be scheduled for every child! See you soon, Bears!

Let's make it a great year, Bears!

Stefanie Spencer, Director

Estimadas familias de Bear Boulevard,

Es con gran emoción que les doy la bienvenida al año escolar 2023-2024. Estamos muy emocionados de conocer a cada una de nuestras familias y estudiantes. Estoy entrando en mi decimoctava año como directora de escuela, 14 de los cuales han sido en SBISD, y la apertura de la escuela siempre está llena de emoción y mariposas mientras nos preparamos para el primer día de clases. No puedo esperar a ver nuestros dulces rostros comenzar su viaje para convertirse en graduados de T-2-4.

En Spring Branch ISD, escuchará mucho la frase T-2-4 graduado. El término hace referencia a la noción de que queremos que todos los graduados de SBISD obtengan un certificado técnico, entrenamiento militar o un título de dos o cuatro años. A través del trabajo de muchos equipos de colaboración, hemos desarrollado las características básicas de un graduado listo para T-2-4 y hemos definido en quiénes queremos que se conviertan nuestros estudiantes a medida que crecen y se desarrollan durante sus años en SBISD. Estas seis características básicas tienen declaraciones de orientación, tres grandes ideas de apoyo cada una e hitos desde la perspectiva del estudiante. ¡Durante cada fase de su educación en SBISD, estaremos monitoreando y apoyando el desarrollo de esas características y ese trabajo comienza el 16 de agosto en Pre-Kindergarten! Para obtener más información sobre las características básicas de SBISD, haga clic aquí.

Este boletín contiene información que puede haber recibido durante el registro, pero espero que el boletín electrónico sea útil para usted y sus familias, ya que la información estará en un solo lugar. Además, hay secciones que cubren la seguridad escolar, la llegada y la salida, el proceso de registro de voluntarios de SBISD y otro contenido.

¡Espero verlos el 14 o 15 de agosto para nuestra Orientación Conozca al Maestro y el 28 de septiembre para nuestra Casa Abierta de 5 a 6 p.m.! Si puedo ayudarlo, comuníquese conmigo a stefanie.spencer@springbranchisd.com. Además, también puede utilizar el sitio web de nuestro campus como recurso. Si es un usuario de Twitter, asegúrese de seguir a la escuela Bear Boulevard: @BBS_Learns.

Siéntase animado a enviar este boletín a las familias que no han registrado a sus hijos; las fechas de registro se encuentran a continuación. ¡Nos encantaría que todos se inscribieran con suficiente anticipación al comienzo del año escolar, preferiblemente antes del 3 de agosto para que se pueda programar el transporte en autobús para cada niño durante la primera semana de clases! ¡Hasta pronto, Osos!

¡Hagamos que sea un gran año, Osos!

Stefanie Spencer, Directora

To qualify for prekindergarten without tuition, students may qualify through income, language, foster care status, parental military service, or parental Star of Texas Award qualification. If you qualify for any of the above, simply contact the office to learn what documents you need to provide. Otherwise, families who do not qualify through those mechanisms may pay monthly tuition to enroll their child.

Nos encantaría ver a todos registrados antes del 3 de agosto para poder garantizar el servicio de autobús durante la primera semana de clases. Aquellos que se registren a partir de entonces se agregarán a las rutas de autobús a partir de la segunda semana de clases, ¡así que enfatice a las familias que la inscripción temprana es clave!

El PreKindergarten de SBISD se basa en la matrícula y es gratuito según ciertos requisitos. Para calificar para prekínder sin matrícula, los estudiantes pueden calificar a través de los ingresos, el idioma, el estado de crianza temporal, el servicio militar de los padres o la calificación del Premio Estrella de Texas de los padres. Si califica para alguno de los anteriores, simplemente comuníquese con la oficina para saber qué documentos debe proporcionar. De lo contrario, las familias que no califiquen a través de esos mecanismos podrán pagar la matrícula mensual para inscribir a su hijo.

At Bear Boulevard, we have the good fortune to be a Community Eligibility Provision Campus (CEP) where every child may eat breakfast and lunch for free. It is a government program that allows for this to occur and SBISD School Nutrition Services does an excellent job taking care of our kids with nutritious and yummy meals every day. It is important that every family with students attending a Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) campus like ours completes ONE income survey using this link: www.schoolcafe.com/springbranchisd. Many SBISD families will also see this available through their back-to-school online Skyward Parent Portal. The online process is simple, quick, and secure for families. Please only do the form once for your entire family, regardless of how many children you have attending SBISD- either through the portal or through the link above. Please be sure to include ALL of the children in your household and ensure there are no typos of student names and dates of birth. IF you complete more than one application, please complete it similarly and completely so the system doesn't inadvertently select the incomplete application and your qualification status is hindered because a child is not counted.

This survey is so much more than a school meal application. By submitting your application, you are ensuring that SBISD receives all of the additional state and federal programs and services for which we may be eligible but also that your family receives:

• Appropriate Pandemic EBT benefits
• Reduced Registration for AP, SAT and/or ACT tests
• Free or Discounted fees for athletic activities
• Discounted rates for internet services
• Discounted rates for college applications.
  

Please review the attached flyer for the important reasons why we collect the forms.

If you need help, SBISD School Nutrition Services (SNS) is providing campuses with on-site support this school year to assist families with completing their Income Survey. Mrs. Spencer is working with SNS on available times and will publish those opportunities in messaging to come. Because this data is critical to school funding and all of the aforementioned reasons, please complete this form before the district's snapshot date on October 27, 2023.

En Bear Boulevard, tenemos la buena fortuna de ser un Campus de Provisión de Elegibilidad Comunitaria (CEP) donde todos los niños pueden desayunar y almorzar gratis. Es un programa del gobierno que permite que esto ocurra y los Servicios de Nutrición Escolar de SBISD hacen un excelente trabajo cuidando a nuestros niños con comidas nutritivas y deliciosas todos los días. Es importante que cada familia con estudiantes que asisten a un campus de Provisión de Elegibilidad Comunitaria (CEP) como el nuestro complete UNA encuesta de ingresos utilizando este enlace: www.schoolcafe.com/springbranchisd. Muchas familias de SBISD también verán esto disponible a través de Skyward Parent Portal en línea para el regreso a la escuela. El proceso en línea es simple, rápido y seguro para las familias. Complete el formulario solo una vez para toda su familia, independientemente de cuántos niños tenga que asistan a SBISD, ya sea a través del portal o del enlace anterior. Asegúrese de incluir a TODOS los niños en su hogar y asegúrese de que no haya errores tipográficos en los nombres y fechas de nacimiento de los estudiantes. SI completa más de una solicitud, complétela de manera similar y completa para que el sistema no seleccione inadvertidamente la solicitud incompleta y su estado de calificación se vea obstaculizado porque un niño no se cuenta.

Esta encuesta es mucho más que una solicitud de comidas escolares. Al enviar su solicitud, se asegura de que SBISD reciba todos los programas y servicios estatales y federales adicionales para los que podemos ser elegibles, pero también que su familia reciba:

Beneficios EBT pandémicos apropiados

• Matrícula reducida para exámenes AP, SAT y/o ACT
• Tarifas gratuitas o con descuento para actividades deportivas.
• Tarifas con descuento para servicios de internet
• Tasas de descuento para solicitudes universitarias.

Revise el folleto adjunto para conocer las razones importantes por las que recopilamos los formularios.

Si necesita ayuda, los Servicios de Nutrición Escolar (SNS, por sus siglas en inglés) de SBISD están brindando a las escuelas apoyo en el sitio este año escolar para ayudar a las familias a completar su Encuesta de Ingresos. La Sra. Spencer está trabajando con SNS en los horarios disponibles y publicará esas oportunidades en los próximos mensajes. Debido a que estos datos son críticos para la financiación de la escuela y todas las razones antes mencionadas, complete este formulario antes de la fecha de la instantánea del distrito el 27 de octubre de 2023.

As we look to the beginning of the school year, we want to make sure all parents are aware of SBISD student attendance policies, all of which are applicable to prekindergarten students and their families. Regular and timely school attendance help children develop executive functioning, organizational skills and ensure they do not miss academic and social opportunities at school. Additionally, regular and timely attendance are required for promotion to kindergarten. Students will get sick from time to time as they adjust to school and new friends; this message is meant to help you navigate what to do when your child is ill or needs to visit their pediatrician or dentist.

SBISD Attendance Policies and Expectations

• All absences, excused or unexcused determine promotion. State law, as well as local policy, identifies several types of absences: Excused, Excused/Counted as Present and Unexcused.
  
• Every time a student is absent, a written note (handwritten or email) or phone call to the attendance office must be sent explaining the nature of the absence within two days of the child's return to school. If a student visited the doctor for a check up or illness visit, those excuse notes are accepted in the place of a parent note. At BBS, you may send the email or doctor's note to Cristina.Aguilar@springbranchisd.com (Ms. Aguilar is our registrar/attendance clerk)
  
• Absences may be excused (provided a note has been submitted within two days) for the following reasons: Illness, serious illness of a family member, death/funeral of a famil member, religious holy days, parent/stepparent on active military duty, required court appearance, naturalization/citizenship, and doctor's visits.
• When parents do not send notes when students are absent, those absences will be marked as unexcused. Each campus monitors the attendance of students and will conduct parent conferences and provide designated supports to families should unexcused absences persist.
  
• Students are required to be in attendance daily at the start of the school day or they will be marked tardy. BBS students must be dropped off no later than 7:45 a.m. or they will be marked tardy. Our car rider line concludes at that time, so parents will need to park and walk their children into the school and sign them in for the day.
  

BBS Helpful Attendance Hints:

• BBS Bears should come to school on time every day (between 7:15 a.m. and 7:45 a.m.) ready to learn.
  
• Bears who have fever, stomach upset or feel too poorly to attend school may stay home. Parents should send a doctor's note if the illness required a doctor's visit or a handwritten note or email from a parent to Ms. Aguilar within two days of their return to school. Please do NOT message the teacher, but instead email Ms. Aguilar at Cristina.Aguilar@springbranchisd.com.

During the week school begins, new prekindergarten students and their families will have an opportunity to meet their teacher and teacher assistants and see their new classrooms during our Parent Orientation event. Please note that we split the event into two sessions to allow more interactions between the teacher, students and parents. Students whose last names start with letters A-L are assigned the 2-3 p.m. time frame on August 14th. Students with last names beginning with M-Z are assigned to the 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. time frame on August 15th. During your child's assigned session (assigned by alpha with their last name), you can expect to do the following:

• Meet the teacher, see their classroom, put away their school supplies

• Listen to a presentation from the teacher and short message from the Director
• Complete transportation cards
• Learn the arrival/dismissal process.
• Meet and visit with the school nurse, if needed.
• Pick up the beginning of school year bundle: shirt, blanket and lanyard for $25.
  

The fliers are below! See you soon, Bears!

El 14 o 15 de agosto, los nuevos estudiantes de prekínder y sus familias tendrán la oportunidad de conocer a sus maestros y asistentes de maestros y ver sus nuevas aulas. Tenga en cuenta que dividimos el evento en dos sesiones para permitir más interacciones entre el maestro, los estudiantes y los padres. A los estudiantes cuyos apellidos comienzan con las letras A-L se les asigna el horario de 2 a 3 p.m. plazo el 14 de agosto. Los estudiantes con apellidos que comienzan con M-Z se asignan a las 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. plazo el 15 de agosto. Durante la sesión asignada de su hijo (asignada por alfa con su apellido), puede esperar hacer lo siguiente:

• Conozca al maestro, vea su salón de clases, guarde sus útiles escolares
• Escuche una presentación del maestro y un breve mensaje del Director
• Tarjetas de transporte completas
• Conozca el proceso de llegada/salida.
• Reúnase y visite a la enfermera de la escuela, si es necesario.
• Recoja el paquete del comienzo del año escolar: camisa, cobija y cordón por $25.

¡Los volantes están abajo! ¡Nos vemos el 14 o 15 de agosto, osos!

Appropriate student dress and grooming are important factors in the safe and orderly operation of our campus. Parents are expected to be knowledgeable and supportive of the following guidelines:

• Uniforms are not required; however, clothing should be neat, clean and weather appropriate.

• All students are required to wear tennis shoes to be able to play on the playground safely. All other shoes, regardless of rubber soles or leather tops (saddle oxfords, deck shoes, topsiders, boots, crocs, flip flops, sandals, etc.), are not considered safe for active play activities.

• During cold weather months, we encourage parents to keep a sweatshirt, light jacket, or sweater in your child’s backpack in the event of unexpected drops in temperature.

Dear Families,

Procedures are everything with managing groups of children, particularly our precious cargo, our Bear Blvd Bears! Please review the procedures below so you will know and understand the steps you will take and the route you will follow if you choose to have your student be a car rider. Please anticipate that for the first few weeks of school parents and children will be acclimating to new procedures, and for many these will be their first outside-the-home experiences. This means that traffic and our car rider line will take some time to process. Please be patient and courteous to staff. We will do our very best to support families so we are efficient in a few weeks' time. Each driver can do their part by reviewing the procedures and extend courtesy and grace to the drivers around them.

Please take caution when driving on Westview, as there are several schools along this street. Students will be traversing back and forth to school, as will parents and school buses. Please refrain from using your cell phone while operating your motor vehicle. It is our hope that our processes and procedures allow for a nice start and nice conclusion to all of our little bears' school day.

Sincerely,

Stefanie Spencer, Director

Please follow these instructions for our car rider line so that we may get your child to his/her classroom as smoothly as possible.

• Pull up slowly and wait in line until it is time.
• Please be sure to have your child seated in the back seat on the passenger side with their name tag on and backpack ready to go. This will help a smooth transition from car to school for everyone.

• At 7:15 AM, car rider will begin. Staff will open the car door so the child can step out of the car & staff will escort them to class.
• Please do not get out of your car.

Exiting the Car Rider Line:

All volunteers must register online through the SBISD website every year and pass a criminal background check. Volunteers approved during the previous school year may volunteer through September 30 of the current school year. At that time, the system will reset and all volunteers must re-register before being allowed on campus. We strongly encourage all volunteers to register between July 1 and September 30.

Please allow 8-10 days for the criminal background check process to occur. Volunteers who provide a valid email address on their application will receive an automatic notification if approved to begin your service. Once you receive this e-mail, please either contact the program or campus where you want to provide support. A list of those contacts can be found here.

All volunteers must bring a valid, government issued photo ID when they visit or volunteer on campus to have it scanned into the Raptor6 system. Each time you are on campus thereafter, SBISD requires volunteers and visitors to check-in at the front office and wear a Raptor6 issued name badge.

Thank you for recognizing that the safety of our schools, our students and our volunteers is of the utmost importance!

By applying to be an SBISD volunteer, you agree to abide by the SBISD Volunteer Ethics and Guidelines. For more information on volunteering, programs, please click here.

Todos los voluntarios deben registrarse en línea a través del sitio web de SBISD cada año y pasar una verificación de antecedentes penales. Los voluntarios aprobados durante el año escolar anterior pueden ser voluntarios hasta el 30 de septiembre del año escolar actual. En ese momento, el sistema se restablecerá y todos los voluntarios deben volver a registrarse antes de que se les permita ingresar al campus. Recomendamos encarecidamente a todos los voluntarios que se registren entre el 1 de julio y el 30 de septiembre.

Espere de 8 a 10 días para que se lleve a cabo el proceso de verificación de antecedentes penales. Los voluntarios que proporcionen una dirección de correo electrónico válida en su solicitud recibirán una notificación automática si se les aprueba para comenzar su servicio. Una vez que reciba este correo electrónico, comuníquese con el programa o el campus donde desea brindar apoyo. Puede encontrar una lista de esos contactos aquí .

Todos los voluntarios deben traer una identificación con foto válida emitida por el gobierno cuando visiten o se ofrezcan como voluntarios en el campus para escanearla en el sistema Raptor6. Cada vez que esté en el campus a partir de entonces, SBISD requiere que los voluntarios y visitantes se registren en la oficina principal y usen un gafete con el nombre emitido por Raptor6.

¡Gracias por reconocer que la seguridad de nuestras escuelas, nuestros estudiantes y nuestros voluntarios es de suma importancia!

The following Code of Civility is a requirement and foundational practice of SBISD. You may reference it in our SBISD Handbook located here.

Treat each other with courtesy and respect at all times:

1. Listen carefully
2. Share and opinions and concerns in a civil manner
3. Refrain from loud or offensive language
4. Refrain from profanity or offensive gestures
5. Refrain from threats, including but not limited to causing property damage or bodily harm.

Take Responsibility for your actions:

1. Share accurate information
2. Manage anger appropriately

El siguiente Código de Civilidad es un requisito y una práctica fundamental de SBISD. Puede consultarlo en nuestro Manual de SBISD que se encuentra aquí.

Civilidad es la afirmación de qué es lo mejor en cada uno de nosotros de manera individual y colectiva; no es solo a ausencia de daño. Por lo tanto, SBISD requiere que nos comuniquemos (docentes y personal, estudiantes, padres, tutores y miembros de la comunidad) de la siguiente manera:

Tratarnos con cortesía y respeto en todo momento:
1. Escuchar atentamente.
2. Compartir opciones y preocupaciones de manera respetuosa.
3. Abstenerse del lenguaje ofensivo y en voz muy alta.
4. Abstenerse de los gestos ofensivos u obscenos.
5. Abstenerse de las amenazas, que incluyen, pero no se limitan a causar daño a la propiedad o lesiones

corporales.

Asumir la responsabilidad de sus acciones:
1. Compartir información precisa.
2. Controlar la ira de manera adecuada.

3. Abstenerse de interrumpir o interferir en el salón de clases o en las operaciones de la escuela.

Cooperar entre sí:

1. Cumplir con las normas de la escuela y la política del distrito.
2. Respetar el tiempo de las otras personas.
3. Compartir con otros la información que afecte la seguridad o el éxito de los estudiantes.
4. Responder cuando se le solicite asistencia.
5. Comprender que el compromiso es importante.

SBISD Parent Protocol for Problem-Solving Process

Although we strive for collaboration at all times, parents/guardians may require additional assistance in resolving a situation. Please familiarize yourself with SBISD's general problem-solving process, which includes:

1. Contact the appropriate campus staff member immediately. The most direct route to resolving a concern is to confer directly with the person involved. (Example: if the concern is related to the classroom, the teacher should be the person contacted).
   
2. If not satisfied, contact the appropriate administrator (Bear Boulevard Director) in charge of the campus and responsible for concerns that may arise from the school's operation. Explanations of policies and procedures, various clarifications and all types of campus information are available at the campus level.
   
3. Contact the appropriate central office administrator within a week. This may be a Director, Executive Director, Community Superintendent or Associate Superintendent. This step should be taken only when steps 1 and 2 have not resolved the concern.
   

Aunque nos esforzamos por colaborar en todo momento, los padres/tutores pueden necesitar asistencia adicional para resolver una situación. Familiarícese con el proceso general de resolución de problemas de SBISD, que incluye:

1. Comuníquese con el miembro del personal del campus correspondiente de inmediato. La ruta más directa para resolver una inquietud es consultar directamente con la persona involucrada. (Ejemplo: si la inquietud está relacionada con el salón de clases, el maestro debe ser la persona contactada).
2. Si no está satisfecho, comuníquese con el administrador apropiado (Director de Bear Boulevard) a cargo del campus y responsable de las inquietudes que puedan surgir del funcionamiento de la escuela. Las explicaciones de las políticas y procedimientos, varias aclaraciones y todo tipo de información del campus están disponibles a nivel del campus.
3. Comuníquese con el administrador de la oficina central correspondiente dentro de una semana. Este puede ser un Director, Director Ejecutivo, Superintendente Comunitario o Superintendente Asociado. Este paso debe tomarse solo cuando los pasos 1 y 2 no hayan resuelto el problema.
