Empowering every child to thrive as a lifelong learner and engaged citizen.

I hope you all have a lovely week off with your children and families! Our FORES staff will also be taking this time to relax and enjoy moments with their loved ones. To fully unwind, they won’t be responding to messages until we’re back on Monday, 12/1. If you send an email during their time away, they'll be sure to respond by Tuesday, 12/2. Thank you for your understanding and for helping to ensure they have this special time away from school. All the best to each of you. -Jessica Shults, Principal

FORES Early Act students led the November BISD Board Meeting tonight! They started with the pledges and then asked the board some great questions! Thank you Collins, Eden, Harper, Aria, and Nathan for representing FORES tonight. You did an amazing job and we’re so proud of you!

Congratulations to these AMAZING girls for completing the “Girls on the Run” 5K this morning!!! All the girls did such an WONDERFUL job!!!

FORES will conduct a lockdown drill Friday, December 6th. This will be our 1st of two required lockdown practice drills. The second will be during the second semester.

This will only be a drill and not an actual emergency. The drill will include using the emergency response button as well as the public address systems, which will go out over the public emergency scanner. We will make an announcement for our students Thursday so they know this is an upcoming drill and what to expect.

Again, this will be a drill and not an actual emergency.

We are proud to work with our law enforcement to conduct this drill, and we appreciate our positive relationships with them. We thank them for their service to our community.

Join us on Friday, December 13th for BISD's Cookies, Cocoa, & Toy Drive or stop by Boerne ISD's Central Office beginning December 2nd to drop off an unwrapped toy*, gift cards for teens, or make a donation and we'll purchase the toy on your behalf, simply visit https://boerneisd.revtrak.net/district-wide/toy-drive-donation-h/
Blue Santa will deliver the toys to children in Kendall County this holiday season. Thank you for your support!

*We kindly ask that donations for the toy drive not include Nerf or plastic guns.

Thank you from the BISD Communications Department

BISD families,
I am excited to announce that the referral window for the Gifted and Talented program will be open from November 15th to December 17th. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to nominate your child for consideration in our Gifted and Talented program, which is designed to provide advanced educational opportunities for students who demonstrate exceptional abilities.

If you believe your child would benefit from this program, please take the time to submit a referral during this window. Additional information about the process, including the referral link, can be found on the district’s Advanced Academics website linked here.

I encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have regarding the referral process. Thank you for your continued support in fostering our students’ growth and potential.

Best regards,
Christine Poulis
Director of Advanced Academics
