Advisory Schedule

Tuesday, September 29, 2026, SBMS will be on Advisory Schedule.

 

PSAT-8th Grade-October 7th

As part of our college and career readiness efforts in Spring Branch ISD, we’re offering PSAT Testing to our 8th grade students. Results from this assessment help us establish a baseline for each student as they start their high school journey. The results help us focus classroom instruction and support your child’s growth.

Taking the PSAT 8 can also help your child to:

Understand their strengths, and what skills they need to work on.

Find out what AP courses they’re ready to take.

Explore personalized career insights aligned to their score.

The PSAT is administered in a digital format and will be administered on the morning of Wednesday, October 7, 2026, using their school issued Chromebook.

To help your child be successful on test day, please remind them to fully charge their Chromebooks,  get a good night’s rest, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive on time for testing.

 

Upcoming Peer Group Meetings

Each semester, our grade-level Assistant Principals and Counselors host a Peer Group Meeting for families. These virtual meetings are designed to share grade-level updates, important dates, upcoming events, and other information specific to your child’s grade level.

Families will also have an opportunity to submit questions in advance through a Google Form below.

Prescription medication must be provided by the parent/guardian in the original container appropriately labeled with complete dosage instructions from a recognized pharmacy or physician.

Non-prescription medication may be administered when a signed, written request with dosage instructions has been received from the parent/guardian. Non-prescription medication must be provided by the parent/guardian in the original container with the original label of dosage instructions.

Parents/guardians should include information about pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, and medications, etc. on the Clinic Emergency card during registration or by contacting the school nurse. If health needs change please call or email your campus nurse.
