New year, New friends: SBISD's Police K-9 Reading Buddies & more

This year, SBISD elementary schools are rolling out the Caught You Reading initiative—when one of our SBISD Police officers spots your child reading on campus, they’ll hand them a special “reading ticket.” Students can then submit their ticket to win a one‑on‑one read‑along session with an officer and their police K‑9 partner!

Plus, don’t miss our pineapple mascot roaming the halls with the School Nutrition Service (SNS) team, sharing fun wellness tips and easy nutrition hacks. Keep an eye out for both of these exciting programs at your child’s school this year!
