Message from Ms. Robertson
Greetings parents! While it is chilly out right now, there are signs that Spring is starting to appear! Spring is around the corner and learning is in full swing here at Spring Hill Intermediate. As you may know, this is the time of year that students make the most academic and social learning gains. It is also an important time for reminders about healthfulness as we want all children here, on time, every day to maximize their potential. We encourage all of our families to check our web page on a regular basis for information about academics, upcoming activities, and teacher contact information.

HB 114 Update: Important Changes In The Law Regarding Vaping, E-cigarettes
The 88th Texas Legislative session passed H.B. 114 and adds the following to the Texas Education Code:
...a student SHALL be removed from class and PLACED IN A DISCIPLINARY ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM... if the student: possess, uses, sells, gives, or delivers to another person an e-cigarette within 300 feet of school property...or while attending a school-sponsored or school related activity on or off school property.
With the passage of this new legislation the student code of conduct is updated to make vaping violations result in removal from campus and placement at a disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP) on the first offense. The legislation also clarifies that vaping at school sponsored events off of campus, including district vehicles, will result in a DAEP placement.
Parents, please discuss with your child both the negative effects of using a vape or e-cigarette and the consequences of possessing a vape or e-cigarette on campus or campus sponsored events.
Parents can find anti-vaping resources at the Texas Department of Health and Human Services.
