Ramadan 2025 is Coming

Ramadan is the Muslim month of fasting. Practicing Muslim students will be fasting from dawn to dusk (approximately 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.) Fasting means NO FOOD and NO WATER. During Ramadan, Muslims will often pray until late in the night. The month of Ramadan is 30 days. The first day of fasting is determined by the actual sighting of the moon and may begin February 28th or March 1st. Students may be tired and hungry especially late in the afternoon.


Please inform your child’s teacher if they are fasting.

No Deliveries Please, Request for Birthday Cookies & Nut Allergies

Please No Deliveries During the Day

Parents and parent organizations are welcome on all FBISD campuses. We value strong relationships and partnerships with our parents, but we ask that you keep campus visits to a minimum.


Please do not bring forgotten items such as homework, water bottles or jackets during the school day.


Send snacks and lunch to school with students in the morning.

Birthday Treats - We Kindly Request Cookies

Although you may send cupcakes to school, we respectfully ask that you send store-bought cookies and napkins or small paper plates. No nuts please, due to allergies.


Cookies or cupcakes must be store-bought. A parent or guardian must bring the cookies into the building and complete the cookie log, which is submitted to FBISD’s Child Nutrition office.


Prior to sending any treats, please contact your child’s teacher.


***Goodie bags, drinks, etc. will not be accepted.***

No Nuts Please

Because we have students at APE with life threatening food allergies to peanuts and nuts, we do NOT allow peanut or nut products in the classrooms. Please check the ingredients on the snack to make sure that peanuts or nuts are not in the snack. Be aware that many products have cross contamination with nuts because they share machinery that produces nut products. Your child can eat these products in the cafeteria during their lunch period.

Car Rider Tags MUST BE DISPLAYED During Pick-Up

***Students will not be sent to a cone if the person picking them up does not have a tag.***

Display your child's car rider tag in your windshield during dismissal. If the assigned car rider tag is not displayed, you will be asked to park and report to the front office with a valid ID. You may request extra car rider tags at the front office.

All students are assigned a car rider number even if they never use the car rider line at dismissal.
