As we gather with family and friends this holiday season, the Spring Branch ISD Police Department shares our heartfelt gratitude for the kindness, respect, and partnership that make our community so special.
This time of year gives us a chance to reflect, reconnect, and renew our commitment to one another. Whether it is lending a helping hand, showing patience on the road, or offering a kind word at school, every act of respect helps keep our schools and neighborhoods safe and welcoming.
This fall has been an exciting time for our department. We are proud of the officers and staff who were recognized through recent awards. These honors highlight the dedication and teamwork that define our department. I am thankful for the professionalism, care, and commitment our team shows each day in service to our students, staff, and families.
The holiday season also reminds us of the importance of giving back. Across SBISD, campuses and community partners are hosting food drives and support programs to help families in need. Our officers are also bringing back Blue Santa, a favorite SBISD tradition that spreads joy and holiday cheer to children and families throughout Spring Branch.
We invite you to visit the SBISD Police Department website to learn more about how you can support Blue Santa and other community programs this season.
As we look ahead to the next semester, it is a good time to talk with students about staying safe. A few simple reminders can help everyone enjoy a safe and happy holiday:
Holiday and School Safety Tips
Stay alert and aware of your surroundings when shopping or walking to and from activities.
Use crosswalks and sidewalks whenever possible, and avoid distractions like phones or earbuds near traffic.
Keep personal items secure and avoid leaving valuables visible in vehicles.
Be respectful and kind online, and encourage children to tell a trusted adult if they see something concerning.
If you see something, say something. Students can always talk to a teacher, counselor, or officer, and anonymous reporting links are available on every SBISD school website.
Celebrate responsibly. Whether at school, at home, or in the community, look out for one another and make choices that keep everyone safe.
The SBISD Police Department is honored to serve this outstanding community every day. Thank you for your continued partnership and for helping make Spring Branch a place where kindness, safety, and respect thrive.
From our family to yours, we wish you a safe, joyful, and thankful holiday season.
