Safety Is a Shared Commitment: August 31–September 4

At Splendora ISD, creating safe and supportive schools takes all of us: students, staff, families, and our community. During August 31–September 4, our campuses will participate in activities designed to strengthen safety awareness, preparedness, communication, and connectedness across our district.

Throughout the week, students will engage in age-appropriate conversations and activities that help them understand what it means to be Safe. Seen. Supported. From knowing what to do during an emergency and identifying trusted adults to understanding when to speak up and recognizing how individual choices contribute to a safer school environment, each activity reinforces one important message:

Safety is not just something we practice; it's a commitment we make to one another.

We encourage our parents and community partners to continue these conversations at home and to help us reinforce a culture in which everyone understands their role in keeping our schools safe.

Together, we are building a district where Every Student. Every Employee. Every Day. is Safe. Seen. Supported.

Become the Bridge. Change a Life.

Did you know that one trusted adult can make a lifelong difference for a student? Research consistently shows that when young people have a caring mentor, they are more likely to succeed academically, build confidence, make positive choices, and believe in their future.

That's what BRIDGE is all about.

The BRIDGE Mentoring Program connects caring community members with Splendora ISD students through meaningful, structured mentoring relationships that encourage academic success, social-emotional growth, leadership, and college and career readiness. Sometimes the greatest gift you can give a child is simply your time, your encouragement, and someone who believes in them.
Join us for our first BRIDGE Informational Meeting of the school year!

  • Monday, August 31
  • 5:30–6:30 PM
  • Coleman 6th Grade Campus – PLC Room
At this meeting, you'll learn:

  • What BRIDGE is and how the program works
  • The commitment and expectations for mentors
  • The positive impact mentoring has on students
  • How you can become a BRIDGE mentor and make a difference in the life of a child
Whether you're a parent, grandparent, business professional, retiree, college student, or community member, you have something valuable to offer. Your encouragement today could help shape a student's tomorrow.

Together, we can build stronger students, stronger schools, and a stronger community—one relationship at a time.
We hope to see you there!

Kindergarten and Grade 2nd are universally screened per state and local policy.
 

This program is designed for students who exhibit any singular or combination of the following abilities or potential to develop capabilities at an extraordinary cognitive level: intellectual, leadership, creativity, artistic, and/or academic achievement.
