As ruminants, herds spend summers browsing vegetation at higher elevations. Males join females in late summer through fall to move to lower areas for colder months. Scientists describe this travel pattern as “altitudinal migration.” Imposing as they are, elk must remain wary. After humans, mountain lions are their greatest predatory threat, along with wolves and bears. Staying together in herds is their best defense. #INTEGRITY: Choosing to be truthful in whatever you say and do. Our October Big Idea from Core Essentials.

SIGN UP - HOMECOMING PARADE The Homecoming Parade will take place Wednesday, October 18th at 6 PM in Downtown Brenham. Find the sign-up form for the Homecoming Parade here.  Keep 'Em Safe Texas  Texas law now requires school districts to distribute information to parents and guardians about the safe storage of firearms. The attached information will help you learn about options for, as well as how to talk to your child and others about, the safe storage of firearms.  In 2021, 4,613 Texans experienced gun-related deaths.  The Texas Department of State Health Services (SHS) reports that 55% of Texas firearms deaths in 2020 were suicides and that 59% of all suicides in Texas were by firearms. Suicide attempts involving firearms have a 90% fatality rate. Restricting access to guns is critical in reducing acts of violence, whether as self-harm or towards others. Acts of mass violence and interpersonal violence often end in suicide.  It is unlawful to store, transport, or abandon an unsecured firearm in a place where children are likely to be and can obtain access to the firearm.  Under Texas Penal Code 46.13 , a person commits the offense of making a firearm accessible to a child if the child gains access to a readily dischargeable firearm, and the person with criminal negligence: Failed to secure the firearm; or Left the firearm in a place to which the person knew or should have known the child would gain access The penalty for allowing a child access to a firearm can range from a Class C misdemeanor (punishable by a $500 fine) to a Class A misdemeanor (punishable by a $ 4,000 fine, a year in jail, or a combination of the two).  Texas exempts the purchase of firearm safety equipment from  Texas Sales and Use Tax . Remember, a gun should be stored unloaded in a safe or locked container, with ammunition stored elsewhere. You can learn more and find additional resources from the Texas Department of Public Safety attached below or visit their website at  https://safegunstoragetexas.com .  Safe gun storage is critical to preventing suicide, unintentional shootings, and other tragedies.

Safety Update & Newsletter

Letter From the Superintendent  Brenham ISD Community, Each day parents put their most precious possession in our care, and we do not take that responsibility lightly. When our students leave us to go home, they are still our students. Our spirits are lifted when they achieve success and our hearts hurt when they suffer. Right now all of our hearts are hurting. The past few days we have worked with our students and staff to ensure that their physical and emotional needs are taken care of. Our counselors are available daily at each campus to speak with students as they work through their emotions. Should you see that your child is struggling to navigate this tragic event or is working through any other issue, and would like additional support, please reach out to their campus counselor so we can work together to meet the needs of our students.   I would like to reiterate some of the protocols BISD has in place every day in an effort to keep our students and staff safe. We continue to utilize all of our current safety protocols: All visitors on campuses must check in through the office and get their license scanned to receive a visitor badge Exterior and interior campus and classroom doors remain locked throughout the day Students from 5th grade and above are required to have their student IDs on at all times Students or any person without an ID will be escorted to the front to get an ID These protocols are utilized every day across each campus and   we express the importance of these procedures in every communication, faculty meeting, and training. It is through these actions that we keep our kids safe.  As always, we cannot stress enough how important it is for our students to "See Something, Say Something." Reports can be made in person to administration or using the  Report a Safety Concern  button on the school's website. We are grateful for our relationship with local law enforcement as they work tirelessly to keep our community safe. On campus, our first responders truly work to build relationships with our students while interacting with them in the hall, at lunch, and on the playground. We look forward to a continued partnership with them; however, as we continue to look for ways to improve, we have decided to form a BISD Police Department. This will allow us to hire full-time officers dedicated to each of our campuses to ensure that a police presence is always available across the district.  We continually work to maintain your confidence in our ability to keep our students and staff safe. It takes a team to accomplish this. From our Brenham ISD staff and parents to our first responders, together we can maintain the safety needed to provide the reassurance that when your child is placed in our care, they will be safe.  -Dr. Tylor Chaplin Brenham ISD Superintendent Pre-K Round-Up  Parents if your child will be entering Brenham ISD Pre-K this fall, this information is for you.
