Student Ambassadors Program
Dear Parents,
We are excited to start the new generation of student leaders here at SST –Spring! These student leaders will have the exciting opportunity to serve the school through leadership in the SST – Spring Student Ambassador Program. Our main goal of this program is to help students develop leadership skills and create an atmosphere at SST – Spring where every student feels accepted and important.
Homeroom teachers choose student Ambassadors every month in each homeroom. Administrators recognize the ambassadors with a luncheon or breakfast program.
Some opportunities the student ambassadors will have are:
· Reciting the Daily Morning Announcements and Pledges
· Introducing any welcoming visitor into the classroom
· Promoting classroom lessons
· Having hands-on experience in fundraisers
· Showing a sense of pride and school spirit!
· Inviting VIP to our school
· First assistant of homeroom teachers
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our Student Ambassador Advisor: Danni Moss
Attendance Policy
School attendance is essential for a student to make the most of his or her education. Absences
from class may result in serious disruption of a student’s mastery of the instructional materials;
therefore, students and parents should make every effort to avoid unnecessary absences.
We would like to share with you our attendance policy.
Thanks!

Safety is our first priority
Dear Parent/Guardian:
SST Spring is pleased to announce that we will begin using the Raptor Visitor Management System in all of our schools to strengthen our program of campus safety for students and
faculty. Part of keeping students and faculty safe is knowing who is in our buildings at all times, and the Raptor system will allow us to do that. The Raptor system will better allow us to screen visitors, contractors, and volunteers in our schools and provide us with a safer environment for our students and staff.
Upon entering a district building, visitors will be asked to present an ID such as a Driver’s
License, which can either be scanned or manually entered into the system. If a parent or
guardian for any reason does not have a US government-issued ID, the school staff member can use any form of identification and manually enter the person’s name into the Raptor system. The Raptor system will check to ensure that registered sexual offenders are not entering our school campuses without our knowledge. The Raptor system checks the visitor's name and date of birth for comparison with a national database of registered sex offenders. The registered sex offender database is the only official database checked by the Raptor system. No other data from the ID is gathered or recorded and the information is not shared with any outside agency. Once an entry is approved, Raptor will issue a badge that identifies the visitor, the date, and the purpose of his/her visit. A visitor’s badge will not be necessary for those who visit our schools simply to drop off an item in the office or pick up paperwork.
The safety of our students is our highest priority and the Raptor visitor management system
allows us to quickly identify those that may present a danger to our students. Thank you in
advance for your understanding and your support in enhancing the school safety protocols in
our district.
