Dear FBISD Parents and Staff,

This year, the district is providing all students with school ID badges.

By Monday, August 19, 2024, most FBISD students will have received their badges, and they are required to wear them at all times at school and on buses.

The only student groups without badges presently are pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students. The process of photographing our littlest learners and creating their badges should be completed over the next several weeks.

The benefits of ID badges are:

• Increased security on school campuses – badges provide a quick way to know when someone may be trespassing onto a campus.

• Ease of transactions in cafeterias and libraries – badges may be used to purchase meals and check out books.

• Use with new Stopfinder bus software – bus riders will scan their badges when they get on and off buses to provide parents and school staff with nearly real-time information about bus arrival times and confirmation that students are on the right bus.
• 
  

IMPORTANT NOTE: The district is in Phase 1 of using Stopfinder bus software. During this initial phase, the district will ensure Stopfinder is programmed to provide the most accurate data to parents and school staff.

During Phase 2, the parent app will be activated. Parents will receive a notification when the app is ready for downloading.

Orders can be placed via the THS BEST BUDDIES Rev Trak. All orders must be placed no later than September 30, 2025. Orders will be placed in your mailbox upon arrival.

To support 1:1 implementation, as well as technology use in general, we would like to make you aware of a new resource:

1. In the Technology Training Library is an EquippED 1:1 subpage. This page houses various posters that may be used to help with best practices around the devices. These will mainly relate to the 1:1 device but some may also be utilized by elementary. Additional supports will be added as necessary.

1. Within this page you will also find information around The FORT (FBISD Online Resource Toolbox). These are grade band specific resources that students will be automatically rostered into through Schoology at the start of the year. Job aids and supports related to technology will be available as well as digital citizenship lessons. Teachers are welcome to join the course and link to the files when needing support for technology in their lessons.

​The district has received an update from the Board of Nursing (BON) about school nurses administering medication stating that: “A parent’s request is not sufficient by itself for nurses to administer medication. This is true for all nurses in every setting.” This means that effective immediately, parents’ requests for our campus nurses to administer medication will no longer be accepted. Instead, a physician’s order is now required for all medications. This includes prescription medications, oral and topical medications, as well as over-the-counter medications. The district is working to update the Student-Parent Handbook and related policies. This includes prescription medications, oral and topical medications, as well as over-the-counter medications. The District Parent-Physician Permit to Administer Medication form has been amended to reflect this update. Our standing orders for over the counter medications/products is attached and uploaded to Sharepoint. The signed copy for standing orders is on-file with school health services.

Keeping everyone safe. All visitors "MUST" check in at the front office before entering Travis High School. Failure to do so could result in including but not limited to: Being banned from THS until further notice, all FBISD events, and other lawful actions.

Please view the PowerPoint as it will cover all the information that was covered during the grade-level assemblies with your student.

The health & safety of students, teachers, and staff is the District’s foremost priority. Students and staff should stay home when sick, and if they do test positive for COVID-19, self-report using the FBISD Wellness Screener. Individuals can return to school/work once they meet the following requirements: five days have passed since the start of symptoms (if no symptoms, five days after testing positive), improvement of symptoms, and the individual has been fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications.

Please encourage your student to download the “Band” app on their cell phone and join their grade-level reminder group below. Parents are also encouraged to join Band so they can stay informed on all of events happening at Travis.

We will use this tool to communicate general reminders such as spirit days, activity schedule days, picture days, etc
