Wrangler Weekly
Week of February 26, 2024
Message from Ms. Bratton, principal
While Spring has about sprung, we are still working hard here at SBMS , putting aside spring fever and focusing on growing all of these beautiful brains.
We need your help with two things:
1. Please be sure your student is in dress code -- a few students have started wearing slippers/house shoes to school and that is absolutely against dress code. House slippers are not allowed. Also, we have some shorts that are beyond short. District policy states shorts and skirts should be "modest in length." The word "modest" is definitely open to interpretation, but I hope that you will ensure your child is covered up.
2. Please push your student to stay on top of their assignments. Our teachers are purposeful in the order and pacing of lessons. When students get behind, it spirals. It's not only their grade that suffers but also their learning. By doing the work on time, students are ready for the "next step."
Finally, our Wranglers enjoyed their first day in their new clubs today during Wrangler Time. From BBQ Club to bracelet making to slime to all things Taylor Swift to good, old-fashioned kick-ball -- it was a great afternoon. Thank you again for supporting our campus fundraiser this fall that provided these opportunities for our students!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend -
Go Wranglers!
Ms. Bratton
