Erica Kim is the 5th grade lead. She has spent countless hours with admin and room reps to help plan and organize all of the 5th grade events, including the 5th grade NYE party! If there is a sign up, she is always one of the first to volunteer.
Thank you Nathan and Erica for all of your hard work and your willingness to step up whenever help is needed!
We are sharing this information about the district and our campus as part of our obligations under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA).
Federal Report Cards for the state, the district, and each of the district’s campuses are now available on the district’s website at this link: https://www.fortbendisd.com/ASE or are also available on the Texas Education Agency’s website at: https://tea.texas.gov/texas-schools/accountability/academic-accountability/performance-reporting/federal-report-cards.
Should you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.
Our instructional day begins at 8:05 a.m. Students arriving after 8:05 a.m. are considered and marked Tardy in Skyward. We ask that you plan for an on-time arrival with your child each day.
As a reminder, Parent Drive is busiest between 7:45-8:05 a.m. so leaving a few minutes earlier can make an impact on your child's entry into the school building. School doors open, for your convenience, at 7:30 a.m.
All students are required to wear their ID badges every day. These badges are used in the library, on and off the bus and at lunch.
If your child has misplaced their badge, please allow them 3 days to look for it. Please help them check their backpack, jacket pockets, room, car, house etc. After 3 days if you still have not found it, we will print a new badge. The rst reprint is free. Any badge printed after that will be a $5 charge. Parents will be billed through Skyward and pay through RevTrak if a badge is lost more than once.
We thank you for your assistance in making sure your child has his/her ID badge, as we begin the new year.
Here are some upcoming dates that pertain to our 5th graders who will graduate in May.
More information will come from your child's teacher.

FBISD’s ASE Special Education Parent Advisory Committee presents “Let’s Talk”, a monthly series to encourage conversations with your child about special needs and disability awareness.
January is National Braille Awareness Month. Its goal is to raise awareness for the importance of braille for the blind or visually impaired. Braille is not a language, but rather a tactile code. At dinner ask your student, “Besides braille, what are some modern technologies that have helped the blind or visually impaired communicate?”
Attention all 3rd, 4th and 5th grade parents!

Every child has the potential to thrive, but staying motivated can sometimes be a struggle. By creating a supportive environment and nurturing their confidence, parents can inspire their children to embrace challenges and enjoy the learning journey.
January 20-24
Teaching your child independence is another powerful way to build motivation. Encourage them to take responsibility for their tasks and give them space to solve problems before stepping in. Tools like checklists or visual aids can help them stay on track. You can also inspire them by modeling motivation yourself. Share your own goals and the challenges you’ve faced, showing them that perseverance leads to success.
Here is the latest GT information from FBISD for parents.

Rainy Day dismissal pertains only to those families whose children walk or ride a bike to school each day. Each parent of a child who walks or rides a bike is required to notify the homeroom teacher of a Rainy-Day alternative plan. At 2:45 p.m. a Blackboard Connect notice will be sent to parents informing the community of a Rainy-Day Dismissal. Walkers/bikers will either become a car rider or remain a walker. If your child remains a walker, he/she will meet you at the normal pick-up location.
Parents are not permitted to come to the building doors or encroach on the campus sidewalks to get their children in the rain. This can lead to an unsafe dismissal. All other students going home on buses, in cars, or daycare vans will not have a change in dismissal.
