Greetings STAR families,

On behalf of our STAR team, we are so excited to welcome you to our fall Open House, this Thursday evening. Please see the schedule below to plan accordingly.

A reminder that regular attendance and on time arrival is vital to students' success. When students miss instructional minutes, they miss essential learning experiences that set them up for academic success. Please do not hesitate to reach out to the campus administration if you have any questions regarding attendance policies.

We also encourage you to log into Skyward regularly to view student grades. Please see the job aid below.

As we continue to keep safety at the forefront of everything that we do, here are a few important dismissal reminders:

Car rider line will run along Rocky Valley so that we do not block Bissonnet. We encourage you to enter along Charlmont or Tramore Drive. All cars along Rocky Valley should be car riders only. Due to safety for our STARs and their families, only walkers will be allowed to dismiss from this area.

All AFE students received dismissal tags for their backpacks. Please ensure that your student keeps the tag on their backpack so that we are able to confirm their dismissal daily. We also ask that all families show their physical walker or car tag for pick up. Pictures will not be accepted.

All FBISD families received an email regarding the ID badge and Ridership. Please be sure that if your student is a bus rider, they return the badges each day. Students must utilize badges for lunch and to board FBISD buses. If a student misplaces or damages their badge, guardians must pay a replacement fee.

Reminder: The instructional school day begins at 8:05 am and concludes at 3:25 pm.

We have several ways to stay informed of events at AFE. Please visit our website at https://www.fortbendisd.com/AFE where we will begin posting our weekly Tuesday newsletters and calendar of events. We will continue to share the campus newsletter each Tuesday via Blackboard to the primary email address in your student's Skyward profile. Also, follow us on Twitter @AFE_STARS and Facebook @AFE_STARS for updates and quick announcements.

It is truly a privilege to serve the Fleming community, where parents, students, and teachers strive to build relationships that support social emotional and academic growth. Please feel free to contact me at 281-634-4600 or shenee.youngbaker@fortbendisd.gov.

To ensure a successful return, we have provided important updates and information below.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
