2024 Senior Walks May 16
FORES is excited to host the Boerne and Champion Class of 2024 for their Senior Walk on Thursday, May 16 at 8am! This is a wonderful BISD tradition! For the first time ever, BHS and CHS seniors will walk at their selected elementary school simultaneously!
On the day of the walk the seniors will check in at the front office starting at 7:45am. At 8am, our students will line the hallways and cheer on our graduating seniors as they walk through our school one last time.
Congratulations to the Class of 2024!
Parents of seniors who are planning to attend the event can complete a pre-check using this link, and avoid the check-in line on the day of the event.

PTO Updates
2024 FORES Field Day
Mark your calendars for the 2024 FORES Field Day on Wednesday, May 22. This is a super fun day where kids get the chance to celebrate the school year coming to an end, show some school spirit and spend a day being active. There are a variety of fun outdoor activities planned, so send your students with their water bottles, sunscreen and hats. Plan to wear your ILMS Color Run shirt or any FORES spirit shirt, outdoor clothes and comfy shoes that you don't mind getting wet/dirty.
PTO is providing lunch for all staff and students to include two slices of cheese pizza, a clementine, cookie and juice. Students can also purchase lunch from the cafeteria or bring from home!
We definitely need parent volunteers to help this event run smoothly! There are spots to help with lunch, outside at the various stations, filling water balloons and even dispensing hugs and bandaids, as needed. Take a look at the Sign Up Genius and see what works best for you: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0C4EA9A82C7-49329915-2024?useFullSite=true#/ All volunteers must have a current background check on file with the district to volunteer on campus.
Whether you are volunteering or visiting, please make sure to complete the pre-check by May 21: https://forms.gle/qGYBvCj3Jz5kVuzk9
