Dear Twin Creek Families,

We are just one week away from STAAR testing, and I want to take a moment to remind you of a few important things as we gear up for this critical time.

We still have tutorials available and one more Saturday School session before the test. If your child could use an extra push, please take advantage of these valuable opportunities.

This is also our final week of the STAAR push during 9th period, and we kindly ask that all students remain on campus until the end of the school day to get the most out of this focused preparation time.

As a friendly reminder, beginning Tuesday, April 15, no backpacks will be allowed on campus. Please help us by ensuring your child comes prepared without one.

Lastly, we will have our 8th Grade Parent Meeting this Wednesday at 5:30 PM. We would love for you to join us and be part of the planning as we celebrate and support our 8th grade scholars.

Thank you for your continued support!

Dr. Shelby-King

We want to remind everyone that if your scholar has any discipline concerns Beginning 3/17/25 that results in your scholar being assigned to EC, OSS or earning an N or U on his/her progress or report cards, he/she may not participate in any school sponsored activities (dances, talent shows, faculty v student games, during or after school shows/events including end of year celebrations like Prom.) Students must behave appropriately in order to be trusted to behave in all of our fun-filled activities.

I also want to remind you that we are a Zero Tolerance District. Please make certain your scholars understand that the consequence for their first offense is being placed in alternative school anywhere from 15 to 45 days. We make certain that an announcement is made daily reminding students of the District’s Zero Tolerance policies for fighting, recording fights and vaping and to practice positivity daily.

Spring ISD Parent/Guardians:

If your student is seeking to attend a school in 2025-26 for which they are not zoned, the window to submit a transfer application is now open at springisd.org/transfers.

The district offers different transfer types depending on the situation. Regardless of transfer type, transportation will NOT be provided to students. More information on each of the transfer types is available at springisd.org/transfers.

Just a reminder, students attending the district’s schools of choice (Roberson Middle School, Spring Leadership Academy, Carl Wunsche Sr. High School, P-TECH at Dekaney High School, IB Program at Spring High School, and Spring Early College Academy) are NOT considered transfer students since these programs do not have attendance boundaries. Students accepted into these programs receive transportation. Current and incoming students at Springwoods Village who have been accepted to the campus through the school of choice process are also not considered transfer students and transportation will be provided.

Students in good standing as it relates to academics, attendance, and behavior can be automatically renewed for the 2025-2026 school year. Campus principals are currently in the process of evaluating students with school transfers. Please note:

• If you are on a campus on a current transfer, you do NOT need to fill out a transfer application, unless you are informed by the campus principal that your transfer is not being renewed.

• If you are changing address and will be attending/zoned to a new Spring ISD campus, you do not need a transfer application to attend that new campus. Please contact the Registrar at the new campus for assistance.

• Students in 5th and 8th grades will need to submit new transfer application requests for middle school or high school transfer requests.

• Students who reside in the district but do not currently attend a Spring ISD school will need to fill out an "inter-district" transfer application.

Students who have not maintained the requirements for a student transfer will be assessed and provided an opportunity for improvement. However, if the campus principal determines that the student has not met the transfer requirements, the student will be returned to their regularly zoned campus.

Applications for transfers will be processed as submitted. Parents should receive a notification if the transfer request is approved or denied within 10 school days from when submitted. Notification will be sent via email. Should you have any questions about the online transfer application, please reach out to Dr. Eric Tingle (etingle@springisd.org).

Please make sure we have an updated email address and phone number for you in the Aeries Portal.

Stay informed about the latest Bond project updates at our campus! These improvements not only enhance learning spaces and resources for our students but also promote energy efficiency and long-term cost savings. Thank you for your continued support!
