Parent Pick Up and Drop Off
When dropping students off in the morning, you will enter the circle drive off of Elkins road, follow it around to the front of the building and pull all the way forward (beyond the doors of the school) to let your student out. Students should be ready to get out as soon as you come to a full stop. Please do not park or wait in the parent drop off line to ensure that traffic keeps moving. The school opens at 8:10 am and we would encourage you to not drop students off before staff are on duty. Students need to be in class and ready to learn before the bell rings at 8:50 am.
For afternoon pick up, you will again enter the circle drive off Elkins, but follow it around to the student loading area on the side of the building. Students should be watching for your car, walk along with the car until you come to a stop as far up as you can, and then enter your vehicle. If you drive a popular vehicle (i.e. a white Tesla or minivan) please consider teaching your child your license plate number or placing a sign in the front window with your last name to help them find you easier. As a reminder, all students should be picked up no later than 4:30 pm each day.
2024-2025 Student Owned Device Expectations
Parents- Please review this form with your student and submit to allow them to bring their phones to campus. As a reminder, the district is issuing every student a laptop, so no personal laptops will be allowed on campus.
Should a phone be found or picked up without this agreement on file, we will assume it is lost and a parent will be required to come to campus to pick up the phone. Thank you for your continued support!

Nurse Notes from the FSMS Clinic
Should My Child Stay Home Today?
Parents we love that our Falcons do not want to miss school, but if they are sick or running a fever, the best place for them to be is at home.
District policy to keep students home when ill and they have to be fever-free for 24 hours WITHOUT the use of medication before returning. Below are some clinic guidelines for when a child should be kept at home:
A Student will not be allowed to remain in school if he/she complains of any of the following:
• temperature of 100.0 or greater
• vomiting and/or diarrhea
• an undetermined rash
• feeling too ill to remain at school
To prevent exposing other students unnecessarily to illness, a student should not come to school if he/she has the following symptoms:
• Vomiting and/or diarrhea within the past 24 hours
• An undetermined rash
• A temperature of 100.0 or greater within the past 24 hours (must be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication)
Bringing Medication to School
Reminder…Students are not allowed to carry medications at school with the exceptions of emergency medications (inhalers, Epipens and Insulin). All medication must be delivered to clinic by the parent or guardian, in the original container, with paperwork stating the full name of the student, the physician’s name, the name of the medication, the amount of medication to be given, when the medication is to be given, the length of time the medication is to be given, the reason the medication is to be given and your signature and date. Please reach out to Nurse Setera at 281-634-6505 or at jennifer.setera@fortbendisd.com with any additional questions or concerns.
Do you need to pick up your student early from school or change the way they are getting home?
