Advocacy Updates

12/1/2025 6:15 pm

Key updates on the proposed boundary lines affecting Bunker Hill:

• Bunker Hill's current enrollment is 780 students and is the only elementary school that is over capacity in the district
• At the November 17 meeting, the Spring Branch ISD Board of Trustees deferred the Bunker Hill boundary change vote
• The Board noted that multiple community members raised issues that the Board had not previously considered, and therefore the Board needed more time to consider these issues before voting
• The Board will vote on the boundary changes on December 15th. They can decide on the proposal as a whole or break out the individually proposed redraws (so it is possible to reject one proposed redraw but accept others)
• If you would like the Board to consider your comments or concerns, you are encouraged to email Board members individually (as well as SBISD Superintendent Jennifer Blaine) AND speak at the December 15 meeting. To speak at the meeting, you must register by noon the day of the meeting AT THIS LINK

School Safety Reminders

11/17/2025 6:00 pm

BHE’s top priorities are safety and learning!  As parents, we are partners with our wonderful educators in maintaining a safe campus that is focused on teaching and learning. Here are a few reminders:

• During arrival and dismissal, car riders must be dropped off or picked up in the carpool line on the west side of campus, entering from Kimberley.
• The front parking lot off of Taylorcrest is reserved for buses. Unless you have prior approval from the administration, please do not enter the parking lot during arrival and dismissal.
• At all times, please respect the families and faculty who have reserved parking spots.
• When parents and other visitors come to the BHE during the school day, they should ring the doorbell  facing the camera, and state their name and the purpose of their visit.
• During lunch, visitors should sit and eat with just their student at open cafeteria tables, picnic tables in the Learning Plaza, or tables in the hall just outside the cafeteria. Please don’t sit with or give treats to other children.
• Unless on yearbook duty, please refrain from taking photos of other people’s children.

We appreciate your support in keeping our children safe and ready to learn while they are at school!
