Mission Statement
Good Things this Week!
FORES Student Council Members had a wonderful time at the TEPSA Leadership workshop. Our student leaders learned how to effectively communicate, motivate others, and lead with purpose through interactive activities and inspiring discussions.
Some of our 2nd Grade Students enjoyed our outdoor classroom to learn about sound for science! They got to use nature first hand to listen to loud and soft sounds heard in everyday life!
Our wonderful 5th Grade students enjoyed their time at BOA (Boerne Outdoor Academy) this week!
FORES Ranch Hands Starts 10/22!
The Ranch Hands at FORES is a parent led initiative to support the outdoor learning experience for our students. The Ranch Hands will meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month from 3-4 pm. They will implement projects that are needed to best support the outdoor learning experience at FORES. Families may bring their own children to work on projects or volunteer on their own. Families can volunteer for one particular project and/or come each week. The first project will begin on Oct 22nd. The project will be to install an irrigation system for the fall garden.
The parent point of contact for volunteering is Emily (ecbrown74@hotmail.com) and the faculty contact is Ms. Deffenbaugh (angelique.deffenbaugh@boerneisd.net).

Your child’s results from the district wide reading screener for Grade K-2 has been sent home. The screener selected by Boerne ISD for Grade K-2 is DIBELS (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) in English for all students and LECTURA in Spanish for Dual Language classrooms and is given three times a year (beginning, middle, and end of year). The screener is administered by the teacher to each student in the class individually. The student is asked to complete a series of short tasks related to reading. An early screener of literacy skills is required by the Texas Legislature. The purpose of the early reading assessment is to inform where your child’s strengths are and where to focus instruction. If you have any questions please contact your child’s teacher.

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month!
Time for This Week’s Dyslexia Did You Know!
Do you need to solve a puzzle or a problem? Ask your dyslexic friends! They have really strong
right-brain capabilities and can use their visual/spatial and problem–solving parts of their brains
quickly and more easily than most.
