Wrangler Weekly
Week of January 5, 2025
Message from Mrs. Bratton, principal
Check the box -- this calendar year is done (almost). 2025! Wow!
As we embark on a new calendar year and a new semester, a few items to note:
- Grades for SM1 will be finalized by 4 PM on Tuesday, January 7 and report cards will be available on Friday, January 10. (If your student missed an exam, there is a make up opportunity on Monday, January 6 at 9 AM -- please email your child's counselor to get them on the list: vera.borg@comalisd.org (A-L) or yolanda.martinez@comalisd.org (M-Z).
- Campus "reset and remind" assemblies will be held Jan. 7-9 during Wrangler Time: administration will revisit behavior expectations with all students.
- We will have 2 APs on campus this spring to help us until we fill the open position; Ms. Troy Jones who helped us last spring (and is a retired principal from the Houston area) is returning and we welcome Mr. Dean Hofer who retired from SVHS just a few years ago. Both will provide us the support our campus needs this semester (see below to put a face with the name). These two will split time during the week; our team has a plan already set to ensure consistency with procedures on campus.
Thank you for a great first semester -- we look forward to cultivating our Wranglers even more in 2025!
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
With Wrangler Pride,
Mrs. Bratton

Active Duty Military Families - Federal Impact Aid Survey Available in Skyward
Under Title VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Comal ISD is eligible for Federal Impact Aid funds as the district enrolls students whose parents are active-duty military. In order to apply for these funds, the district must collect information from parents who may fall into this category.
The survey is available online to all parents as a tile in their Skyward Family Access. Please help us remind parents to fill out this form electronically. Below is the image of the tile, as it appears on the Skyward Dashboard.
A Message from Nurse Keith
Please be aware of Comal ISD policy regarding fever, which requires that all students and staff be free of fever (100 degrees and above) for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever reducing medications, before returning to school. Thank you for working with us to help prevent the spread of illnesses at school.
