A MESSAGE FROM DR. VENGHAUS
Bear Branch Family,
Welcome to the weekend. We will be on a testing schedule next week. I have included the schedule below. Next Friday is the end of the 9-week marking period. Be sure to check student grades and encourage students to work with teachers if they need to get anything made up.
We ended up with just over $7,200 for our Bear Necessities fundraiser. Thank you to everyone who helped bring in donations for BBJH!! These funds will ensure our students have a great time at our Bear-a-Palooza end of year event.
Friday, March 10th - Spring Pep-Rallies and Early Release at 11:55am
Spring Break March 11th-19th
Proud to be your student's principal,
Julia
March 6-10 is Breakfast Week! Students who participate and buy breakfast will be entered into a drawing for prizes from MISD Child Nutrition!
7th Grade Science
7th grade science will be starting the unit on the Human Body Systems after Spring Break. In this unit, the class will be looking at all body systems' structures and functions. Permission slips will be sent home for parental consent before the students attend the program. Please click on the letter below for more details.

MISD makes automated phone calls for students who are marked absent. If you feel your child has been mistakenly counted absent, please email his/her teacher for that specific period.
Be sure to turn in absence notes when your child is out. There are several ways to do this:
- Students can bring parent/doctor note to the front office
- Parents can email notes to BBJHAttendance@magnoliaisd.org
- Parents can fax the note to 281-252-2060
