Spring Branch is providing updated information on Hurricane Ike on the District's website. The latest update is below.
________________________________________________________
SBISD schools will continue to operate as usual while Hurricane Ike’s development and path are closely monitored, but all athletic events and school related activities are cancelled for Friday after school, all day Saturday and all day Sunday.
Parents and staff will be notified through the district’s “Call Out” telephone system and via local media should schools need to close before this weekend or other announcements need to be made immediately. This site will also be updated regularly.
Hurricane Ike is several days from landfall and the potential for error in tracking remains substantial. If dynamic models for this hurricane are accurate, then it will make landfall near Port O’Connor on the Texas Coast. However, landfall could occur as far north as the Louisiana border, based on other tracking models.
During the past three weeks, Tully Stadium and Don Coleman Coliseum have been activated several times by the Texas Department of Public Safety as a Texas Emergency Operations Staging Area. Earlier today, it was reactivated as a bus staging area and charter buses may arrive there soon. Our support of this operation provides us with timely storm tracking updates and information before the general public is informed.
During Hurricane Gustav, hundreds of charter buses, drivers and Texas military and police personnel were stationed here for possible evacuation deployment.
SBISD Police assisted with Staging Area coordination during the Labor Day hurricane, which made final landfall in southern Louisiana. Our employees helped meet the needs of more than 500 emergency responders and other state personnel during this recent crisis.
SBISD’s Senior Staff has already taken several steps to ensure the safety and security of our students, staff and families in the days ahead. These include:
- At home, the Memorial vs. Pearland Varsity Football game will be played 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 11. Also rescheduled is the Stratford vs. Spring Varsity Football game, which will be played at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 11, rather than on Saturday.
- In away games, Northbrook Varsity will play Waltrip at Delmar Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 11, and Spring Woods High will play C.E. King at C.E. King at 7 p.m., also on Thursday.
The Athletics Dept. has also revised the sub-varsity football games for play at Grob Stadium today or Thursday, Sept. 11. Other sports may revise their schedules. Check this site regularly for new updates or developments.
