Reminder - No School - Monday, November 11th
From the Desk of Mr. Yelvington
Bear Nation,
Basketball Season is upon us, and we wish our teams the best this season as they work to bring home a championship. During basketball season much like football and volleyball, we will have students who want to come and support our teams. A few reminders about what is expected of our students as spectators.
1. Students must go home and then be dropped off for the game.
a. We encourage parents to come to the game with their child to teach them sportsmanship as a spectator.
2. Students must have their student ID with them.
3. All spectators must purchase a ticket online https://gofan.co/
4. All school rules and dress code still apply.
5. All spectators are to stay in one gym, stay in the stands, and not be on the court during the game, during timeouts, or between games.
6. Students are expected to show good sportsmanship.
a. Root for our team and not against the other team- there is a difference.
Attending another campus to watch an event
BOWIE students attending sporting events at another campus will be required to have their ID and to be accompanied by a parent who can take them home at the end of the game. The parent must be present during the entire game. Students will NOT be admitted to the game without an ID or their parent.
Anytime one of our Bears travels to support our team as they play at another campus there are some guidelines that need to be followed.
1. Must have your student ID
2. Must attend the game with your parent- the other campus does not know our students or have their emergency contact information so a parent needs to be at the game with their child.
3. All spectators must purchase a ticket online https://gofan.co/
4. All school rules and dress code still apply.
5. All spectators are to stay in one gym, stay in the stands, and not be on the court during the game, during timeouts, or between games.
6. Students are expected to show good sportsmanship.
7. Root for our team and not against the other team- there is a difference

NWEA MAP Computer-Adaptive Assessments
Beginning this year, students in Fort Bend ISD will complete NWEA MAP computer-adaptive assessments three times a year to gain information about what students know and what they are ready to learn next. MAP also gives insight into how students are growing academically, allowing you to track your student's progress throughout the school year and across multiple years. Families will have access to their child's results after each testing window. NWEA MAP is replacing Renaissance 360. For more information, visit the NWEA Family Toolkit or contact your child’s teacher. NWEA Family Toolkit: https://www.nwea.org/family-toolkit/

Whole Child Health Initiative
Dear Parents,
I want to draw your attention to the FBISD Whole Child Health Webpage. We include this in all of our newsletters but it can easily be overlooked. This page has many different resources for students and families to access. For example links to See Something Share Something, 988 Suicide and Crisis Hotline which is for 24 hour/7 days a week immediate emotional support, and 211 Get connected with help for many other needs people may have. You will also find tabs that have resources for students and parents where information about talking to a counselor is recommended along with information about our mental health partners.
