Fall 2025, Volume 35

Dear Teachers,

As we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Month, we, the administration and staff, want to take this opportunity to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the extraordinary work you do every single day. Your dedication, passion, and commitment to your students are truly inspiring, and we are incredibly fortunate to have each of you as part of our school community.

The impact you make goes far beyond the classroom. You shape the future, foster curiosity, and instill values that will guide your students for a lifetime. The care you show, the encouragement you offer, and the effort you put into each lesson create an environment where students not only learn but thrive.

Your patience, your creativity, and your unwavering belief in your students make a difference that can never be fully measured, but is deeply appreciated. In every lesson, every interaction, and every challenge, you inspire greatness and nurture potential.

Thank you for everything you do to make our school a place where students are not only educated but truly cared for. We are deeply grateful for each of you, and we honor the dedication and passion you bring to your work every day.

With sincere appreciation,
The Administration and Staff of Austin High School

TEA recently released the 2023-24 Federal Report Cards (FRC). Please read the attached letter regarding the district and campus designation. Thank you.

With a grant from FBEF we collaborated with the AHS Library to host our "Take a Breather" event. Students participated in stress reducing activities and were given a take home kit to support relaxation and mindfulness.

Ft. Bend County Commissioner, Dexter McCoy, spoke to our AVID students today. He shared that students should not be afraid to speak up or to take risk in order better themselves and their communities. He also told students about upcoming developments in Ft. Bend county, the importance of not overthinking because it prevents action, and offered them paid internships. Thank you commissioner McCoy.

Congratulations to all of our graduating seniors who made their collegiate decisions! We are wishing you good luck on your new journey!

Dear FBISD parents and guardians,

On September 1, 2023, House Bill 114 (HB 114), will go into effect to address the serious issue of vaping/e-cigarette use among students. Under this law, any student found in possession of any kind of vaping/e-cigarette device on a campus or at a school-related activity including bus transportation, will face disciplinary consequences including a placement in a Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP)*.

FBISD assures you that the district is committed to providing a supportive climate and safe learning environment that promotes students in accepting responsibility for their learning and behavior.

To be proactive, here are the ways your student might be impacted by the new law:

• If your student possesses an e-cigarette (even if it contains nothing) or any component, part or accessory for any vaping device while on school grounds or at a school-related event, they will be recommended for a mandatory placement in DAEP.

• When receiving disciplinary consequences for this offense, your student is not able to participate in any school activities. Furthermore, they may face removal from specific student clubs or organizations as stipulated by each organization's rules and regulations.

• Students with offenses that qualify for DAEP placement are not eligible for final exam exemptions for that school year.

Please speak with your student about the dangers of vaping and the new law. If your student is struggling with substance abuse, including vaping addiction or peer pressure to engage in these activities, FBISD counseling services are available to provide supports and resources to address such challenges.

As partners, FBISD and parents can work together to ensure student success. Thank you for your cooperation and support. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your campus directly.

* Based on DAEP program capacity, students may be placed in a campus-based discipline program.
