BBE Weekly Update

BEAR BRANCH NEWS!!
Report Cards - Student report cards went home on Friday, January 8th. Parents are also welcome to log on to their parent portal account through TEAMS. Click here to create an account or log on. We are correcting the Kinder and 1st Grade grades for their specials (art, music, library, and PE). The students' grade is to reflect participation, not performance. You will see an E for excellent, S for satisfactory, or N for needs improvement.
Rodeo Art Show - On Saturday, January 9th, the District hosted its annual Rodeo Art Show. We want to thank our art teacher, Whitney Barker, for working with our 4th-grade participants. Congrats to Zachary Ignatiev for being selected as a Houston Livestock Rodeo Art finalist with his art piece. Listed below are the names of the MISD Rodeo Art participants from Bear Branch Elementary.
Teacher Shoutouts - Thanks to those that have taken the time to recognize your child's teacher. I know our teachers really appreciate the words of affirmation. We had 12 this week. Please keep them coming in! Click here to recognize your child's teacher.
Classroom Help - If you are interested in helping with future classroom events and/or activities, please complete this correspondence form so that PTO and our Room Moms can connect with you.
