The Reese Report
August 2024
Note from Dr. Erdie
The start of the new school year is upon us! We are very excited for this school year and know your student will have a successful experience at Reese in their program and absolutely flourish!
We had a great turn out at our Back to School Bash! Thank you to those that were able to make it! We met so many amazing students and families!
If you were not able to make it, this newsletter holds a lot of the information we reviewed.
IMPORTANT: Tomorrow is FBISD's first day of school, students WILL NOT report to Reese. They will report to their home campus and stay there. Each high school is holding different activities. We are sending our teachers to the high schools to assist. Students first day at Reese is Friday, August 9, 2024.
Make sure to follow us on "X"! We always post action pictures of students in their respective programs and classes!
Please read carefully and reach out if you have any questions!
Best Wishes,
Dr. Julia Erdie
