Congratulations to  Brookhollow Elementary’s 2018 Teacher of the Year - Cliff Sims, 5th grade! His love and innovative ways of  teaching especially science and creating real life experiences for the kids is why he is our Teacher of the Year.  Mr. Sim’s mission as a teacher is  to save the world through scienceJ - a way to make a difference in the world. 

Believing that teaching is both a science and an art, Mr. Sims incorporates hands-on activities and lessons to keep his 5th -grade  classroom from becoming boring and cumbersome. In his room, students are engaged in learning daily.  Hands on experiences become personal experiences, and personal experiences become the most solid platform for meaningful learning.   In addition, Cliff is very involved in every aspect of our school.  He does so much with Safety Patrol, Science Fair, Garden Club,  and is always willing to help.   Mr. Sims also cares for his students.  Always inquiring about what he can do to better understand how to help them be successful - a forward movement mindset to ensure the best outcome!#WhyITeach!#IBelieveInYou!

Happy New Year Bobcat Families!

 

Welcome back for a new semester at BES. I hope the winter break gave all our students an opportunity to relax and recharge for the engaging lessons and events of the new year. Special welcome to those students who are new to Bobcat Nation; we wish them every success - you are joining one of the finest learning communities in all of Pflugerville, and we are glad you’re here.

The new year also signals the start of a new testing session for the District/Campus.  How students are learning guides our improvement plan, moreover, to gage their success middle of the year testing will take place starting this month up until mid-February with communication to parents shortly after. 

We have started the week with our staff reviewing student data and completing their plans for the start of the 3rd nine weeks academic cycle!  As well as check us out on our Facebook to see how we spent the first week back!
