We are so proud to celebrate our amazing 6th grade students who showed growth on their Middle-of-Year (MOY) MAP assessments! Their hard work and dedication truly paid off. To recognize their achievement, students earned treats of their choice—up to three total—one for each test area where they demonstrated growth (ELAR, Math, and Science).
We will be celebrating our 7th & 8th grade scholars next week when we return!
Way to go, Knights! Keep striving, growing, and shining—we couldn’t be more proud! 💙⚔️

Every day truly counts in Spring ISD! When students are in class, they stay connected, confident and ready to learn. Missing even one day before Winter break can set students back, as new material is still being taught. Let’s finish the year strong—together in culture, together in accountability. 💛

¡Cada día realmente cuenta en Spring ISD! Cuando los estudiantes están en clase, se mantienen conectados, seguros y listos para aprender. Faltar incluso un solo día antes de las vacaciones de invierno puede retrasar a los estudiantes, ya que aún se está enseñando material nuevo. Terminemos el año con fuerza, juntos en la cultura, juntos en la responsabilidad. 💛
