Beneke Blast
April 2, 2026-April 10, 2026
Dear Beneke Families,
We hope you and your family enjoy a blessed and restful three-day weekend!
As a reminder, next week is the final week before STAAR testing begins. This is a critical time for our students, and we are working hard to ensure they are fully prepared and confident.
We also want to remind you that Saturday School will be held on April 11 for all 3rd–5th grade students. We strongly encourage all students to attend, as they will have the opportunity to strengthen their skills and earn exciting incentives as we push for Masters level performance on STAAR!
Attendance is extremely important during this time. Thank you for ensuring your child is present at school every day and ready to learn.
We appreciate your continued support!
Sincerely,
Principal Smith

También queremos recordarles que la Escuela de los Sábados se llevará a cabo el 11 de abril para todos los estudiantes de 3.º a 5.º grado. ¡Les recomendamos encarecidamente que asistan, ya que tendrán la oportunidad de fortalecer sus habilidades y ganar incentivos emocionantes mientras nos esforzamos por alcanzar el nivel de Maestría en STAAR!
La asistencia es extremadamente importante en este momento. ¡Gracias por asegurarse de que su hijo esté presente en la escuela todos los días!
Agradecemos su continuo apoyo.

Nominate a Spring ISD Employee
Dear Spring ISD Family,
Looking to celebrate a Spring ISD employee? Now’s your chance! You can nominate anyone serving in the district—be it a teacher, custodian, secretary, clerk, mechanic, bus driver, librarian, nurse, or counselor—for the Employee Excellence Award and honor their outstanding contributions.
Awarded by the Spring ISD Board of Trustees, this recognition honors employees who exemplify the district’s guiding principles, core values, and embody the attributes outlined in our Leadership Definition. Each month during the school year, one employee is selected, and from these honorees, a grand prize winner will be announced at the Spring ISD Employee Recognition Banquet in May. The only employees not eligible for this award are Senior Leadership Team members and members of the Board of Trustees.
We’re looking for employees who are bringing the Spring ISD mission to life and helping us reach each and every Spring ISD student. To nominate them for the Spring ISD Board of Trustees Employee Excellence Award, complete the online recognition nomination form.
A successful nomination will include as much detail as possible to describe why the person should be considered for an award. For more information, click here.
