Back to School 2012-13

Monday, August 27, is the first day of class.
It's school time again! The first day of school can be exciting for students and parents: new teachers, new friends, and for some students, even a new school.

If new to the district, parents are encouraged to register their students before the first day of classes. Registration occurs at the child's attendance area school.  If you have a question about the location of your neighborhood school, please visit our School Locator website

What do I need when I register my student?

  • Immunization record certified by a doctor or public health official
  • Transcript or report card from the last school attended
  • Birth certificate or other document suitable as proof of a child’s identity
  • Proof of residence is required upon enrollment. Examples of proof or residency are lease agreements or mortgage payment book, district tax bill, utility bill with correct name and address.

STAAR & End-of-Course (EOC) Exams are replacing TAKS

During spring 2012, Spring Branch ISD students in grades 3 through 9 were mandated by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to be assessed under the state’s new testing program known as the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, also known as the STAAR program.

The STAAR program replaced TAKS (Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills) for these students. Also last spring, first time ninth-grade students, and middle school students taking Algebra I and Geometry, took STAAR End-of-Course (EOC) exams for the first time at their campuses.
