We are excited for the new school year filled with opportunities for growth, learning, and community building.

• Please be prepared to show a valid ID for early pick up.
• Early Pick up ends at 2:40 PM
• Dismissal change must be completed before 2:45 PM. We highly recommend completing dismissal change in person due to security reasons.

• After checking in at the front office and receiving a visitor’s badge, parents may go directly to the cafeteria to meet their child. Remember, you MUST have a government issued ID every time. Only 2 visitors at a time and no school-age children will be permitted.
• After checking in at the front office and receiving a visitor’s badge, parents may go directly to the cafeteria to meet their child. We have designated visitor tables in the cafeteria for parents/guardians to sit with their child during lunch. Visitors may only sit with their student.
• If you have brought your child lunch, we ask that you refrain from sharing food with other students. Safety and wellness are a top priority in FBISD. A child may have an allergy or diet restriction and sharing a restricted food could cause serious health issues.
• 5 minutes before lunch dismissal begins, we ask that you say goodbye to your child, exit the cafeteria, and check out in the front office. This allows students to return to their class table and join the dismissal routine before returning to class for instruction. Parents/visitors may not wait in the hallway or escort their child back to the classroom.
