BBE Parents,

As we move through a busy and exciting April at Bear Branch Elementary, we have several important events to celebrate and prepare for! We kick off the month by recognizing our amazing leadership during Assistant Principal Week on April 6, followed by our students showcasing their reading skills at the District Battle of the Books on April 7. On April 8, we celebrate School Librarian Day and the incredible impact our library staff has on fostering a love of reading.

Please note that STAAR testing will take place on April 14 and April 28. On these days, there will be no visitors or lunch deliveries allowed on campus to ensure a focused testing environment. We appreciate your support in helping our students do their very best!

Families of our future intermediate students are invited to attend Bear Branch Intermediate Info Night on April 15. Our second graders are also looking forward to their field trip on April 22—an experience sure to bring lots of learning and fun.

We’ll wrap up the month with a special evening event, Mother-Son Night: Cowboys & Sweethearts, on April 24. We hope to see many of you there for a memorable time together!

Great things are happening at BBE and we appreciate your support. We are proud of the efforts the students and staff have put in and looking forward to a great ending to the 2025-2026 school year!

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