Wrangler Weekly

Hello Wrangler families,

This was definitely a fast, exciting week!

Our girls had their last basketball game, we welcomed all of next year's sixth graders to campus for a tour, our students all enjoyed the "fresh start" of a new semester, and our cheer team is hosting their contest "show off" tonight at 6:30 PM (all are welcome, by the way!).

Also this week, we met with each grade level separately during Wrangler Time. Our counselors reviewed tips for academic success and administration outlined expectations, giving reminders on behavior, tardies, no phone policy, and ID expectations. Students are required to wear IDs at all times. Students choosing to have IDs in their pockets rather than around their neck on a lanyard, as required, will have an ID infraction. Students get 10 ID infractions a semester -- that's forgetting their ID or choosing not to wear it. With 10 ID infractions comes an email home and a lunch detention. If your student needs a new ID, they can purchase one for 5 dollars.

Report cards are currently available in Skyward -- please be sure to log in and review. If your student did not pass a class for Semester 1, they can average pass for the year. The grades from SM1 and SM2 must average to a 70 to earn credit. Please reach out to your child's counselor or teacher if you have questions. Our updated teacher tutorial list is below. Please encourage your student to attend tutorials BEFORE they even reach a crisis point.

Finally, today was our Rising Wranglers event. I want to say how proud I was of our students -- they showcased SBMS beautifully. Our students gave performances and informative speeches about various electives and provided guided tours through the building -- it was ALL fantastic. We are so proud of our programs and the leaders they are building.

Go Wranglers!

Comal ISD is looking for the brightest and the best to join our amazing community. If you or someone you know wants to join the best school district around, we encourage you to bring your resume to our latest job fair on Monday, January 8th from 5-6:30pm at Support Services in New Braunfels.

If your student is interesting in trying out for the high school cheer team, there is a mandatory meeting coming up on either January 25th or February 1st at 7pm in the SVHS Library. You must attend ONE meeting in order to tryout.

Your SBMS Silver Stars are hosting their annual Daddy Daughter Dance on Saturday, February 10th. Tickets are on sale now.

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.

We are delighted to announce Aubrey Pozzi, an exceptional 8th-grade student, and Sydney Carter, an accomplished 7th-grade student, as our student-athletes of the month. These two stars have demonstrated remarkable sportsmanship, dedication, and outstanding academic performance in the classroom. It is with great pleasure that we celebrate their achievements and recognize their outstanding character.

We also wish to recognize our Wrangler Player of the Week, Caroline Zygmont.
