Bear Bulletin
End of August, 2019
From Mrs. Spencer:
What a great start to the 2019-20 school year! It has been so fun to welcome both new students and families to our campus and also our returning Bears we have missed over the summer! Aside from a few glitches in a lunch schedule one day and a hallway that needed to have a traffic flow adjustment, we have had a great start to the new year! I am so proud of the SBMS staff for their excitement and preparation for the new year, but also their hard work once students and families returned to campus. Each of our staff members contributed to the success of our start in meaningful ways. If you have a moment, please share your gratitude.
De la Señora Spencer
Spring Branch Middle School Digital Expansion
During the middle of September, SBMS will begin the process of distributing chromebooks to each student in grades 6th through 8th for school and home use. In advance of this process, we will be working to ensure each family has submitted the required documentation related to these devices. Additionally, we will working to ensure that each family has reviewed and accepted or declined to participate in the $25 optional Technology Coverage Fee the district offers to maintain the devices. It is our hope that each family participates in this level of coverage as it protects them from the risk of greater expenses if the device is damaged.
For families who have completed the online verification process through Skyward (explained below), these forms were included in those online forms. If you are uncertain if you completed these forms, you may print, complete and return the forms within this link or contact the front office to inquire as to whether or not you have completed them.
We are excited to announce that the payment of the Digital Expansion Optional Technology Coverage Fee is part to the district's pilot of MySchoolBucks.com this school year. MySchoolBucks.com is a convenient online payment service that will allow you to securely pay student fees with your credit or debit card or electronic check.
Register HERE to set up an account to pay the Optional Technology Fee online. If you would prefer to pay in person, we will accept payments via check or check during the school day in our front office. Simply let someone know during the hours of 7:50 a.m. to 3:50 p.m. that you wish to pay and they will collect it from you.
We hope to have additional fees available for payment online in the 2020-21 school year.

History-Makers at SBMS!
Huge congratulations to several SBMS Bears who played a part in the Post Oak Little Leagues’ making of history this summer! While most of us were enjoying a leisurely approach to the start of the school year, several SBMS Bears were working hard serving their Post Oak Little League team win the district championship, clutch the State title and advance to Regionals. This Texas Little League team is the first in the league's history to ever win the State tournament three years in a row!
We are so proud of the hard work, heart and talent displayed by this team of boys and welcome them back as champions in our hearts and minds. Congrats go to: Ben Barnett, Jack Kyle, Blake Dardis, Michael Peavy, Ryan Stinneford, Jake Baskin, Preston Sullivan and Jacob Spears! You made us proud and we can’t see what is in store for you next year!
