Wrangler Weekly
Week of February 9, 2025
Message from Mrs. Bratton, principal
We could not have asked for better weather for our PTA fundraiser Color Games this afternoon. Thank you to all who participated and supported PTA and the amazing work they do for SBMS.
While we sent an email this morning, I want to give another reminder to ask your student for their MAP scores print out. It is one page, in color, and illustrates growth made in Science, Reading, and Math. If you have questions about MAP, reach out to Casondra Monahan at casondra.monahan@comalisd.org.
Today is the deadline for all students to submit their course plans for next year on SchooLinks. You may have received an automatic email from SchooLinks instructing you to approve your plan. Please disregard this email -- the program was "too efficient." You will receive and email from Comal ISD next Wednesday, 2/13/25 with specific directions on how parents approve course plans. The parent approval window is 2/17 - 2/28. Please reach out to your child's counselor if you have any questions.
Finally, a quick reminder that next weekend is a nice break for students -- no school for them on Feb 14 and Feb. 17. We will be encouraging them to have a book or two from the library in their backpack. Our reading teams are still going strong, so if your Wrangler tells you they are bored, send them into the sunshine with their book!
GOOD LUCK to our Sixth Grade UIL Team as they compete tomorrow with their big brains!
GOOD LUCK to our Silver Stars Dance Team as they compete at their first contest of the season!
GOOD LUCK to our Seventh Grade Basketball Boys A Team as they move on in the championship tournament tomorrow!
P.S. Next week is Bus Driver Appreciation Week -- if your kiddo is lucky enough to be able to ride the bus home, please show this dedicated group some appreciation. We don't have enough drivers, so it would be great to let those we DO have know how much they are appreciated!
With Wrangler Pride,
Mrs. Bratton
