BBE Parents,

Bear Branch Elementary had a great week! We braved the cold weather together and are now gearing up for the long stretch leading up to Spring Break. Our students are moving through rounds of testing and are doing a fantastic job staying focused and giving their best effort. We are incredibly proud of our students and grateful for the dedication and hard work our teachers continue to put into supporting your children each day. Thank you for your continued partnership and support! Hard to believe that next week is February already. We will celebrate the 100th day of school on Monday (same as Groundhog Day for those that celebrate and are hoping for early spring as opposed to 6 more weeks of winter!)

Thank you for trusting us with your students. Bears LEAD the Way! All the Way! Go Bears!

School Report Cards for 2024 & 2025 are now available for the campus. These reports provide information concerning student performance on the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR®), College, Career, and Military Readiness, as well as information on student enrollment, class size averages, and financial expenditures.

In addition, the Federal Report Card for 2025 is now available for the campus.
