Q: Brenham ISD provides a variety of ways for parents to connect with schools. What are the best ways for parents to stay informed?
A: Our district website, www.brenhamisd.net, is a great place to start. Each school also has a campus website that can be accessed from the district homepage. Additionally, we offer a mobile app that can be found in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Brenham ISD is also active on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Follow us at @BrenhamISD!
Q: Many Brenham ISD staff members consistently go above and beyond the call of duty. Is there some way for parents to recognize those outstanding individuals?
A: Absolutely! Brenham ISD offers the Cub Compliment program as a way for anyone in our district or community to recognize staff members who exceed expectations. Anyone can nominate any Brenham ISD staff member to receive this honor. Recipients get a letter signed by Dr. Jackson with a description of the nomination and a certificate for a treat from the school cafeteria. You can access the nomination form on the district website at www.brenhamisd.net under Departments > Communications.
