Frequently Asked Questions & Answers

If your child sustains an injury outside of school, please notify me via email (lauren.erdin@springbranchisd.com) or phone at 713-251-4425. By doing so, I can notify teachers and help them navigate getting to/from classes safely.

Students should either pack a lunch from home or purchase food in the cafeteria. Forgotten lunches must be dropped off by a parent/guardian. No Door Dash or Uber Eats will be accepted.

We are seeing a few injuries in health fitness classes and halls due to improper footwear. While Crocs, slides, and clogs are comfortable to wear they do not provide support or protection while exercising. If your child is enrolled in health fitness, please make sure they are wearing sneakers or athletic shoes.

We highly recommend your child wear shoes that are secured to your child's feet each and every day regardless of enrollment of Health Fitness.
