Safety Concerns
We at the school are working as quickly as possible to help students out of their cars in the morning, however, we have also seen an increase in families arriving to drop students off beginning at 7:20. When that many vehicles arrive at one time, then no matter how quickly we are trying to get students into the building, traffic doesn't budge.
Our doors open at 7:00 to students on both sides of the school and we encourage you to take advantage of that time when there is not traffic. Our car lines trickle in between 7:00-7:20.
We understand you need to do what is best for your family. Please stay safe everyone!
FORES Traffic Flow
Our campus has 2 parking lots for families/visitors. They are designated as "Chartwell" and "Ralph Fair" side. Please click on the link below for details.
For this school year, please continue to refrain from dropping off or picking up your students on the road- Chartwell Lane. There is a Fair Oaks Ranch City Ordinance in effect that prohibits parking or standing during drop off and pickup hours. We work hard to quickly get our students loaded each day, please allow us this opportunity to help ensure the safety of our students. This has been successful the past 4 years will helping us focus on vehicles to keep traffic moving as quickly as possible.

Cowboys on Campus is a program where fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, uncles, and other father figures serve on campus for a day anytime during the year. We provide an extra set of eyes and ears to enhance school security, reduce bullying and provide a greater sense of campus safety.

Over-the-Counter Medications
Beginning this year, the Board of Nursing has clarified that any medications, including over-the-counter (OTC) medications such as Tylenol, cold syrups, allergy pills, etc. must have a medical provider's signature on the medication form. In the past, we have been allowed to administer OTC medications simply with parent permission/signature. This is no longer allowed. Per the Texas Nurse Practice Act, approved providers include MD, DO, APRN, PA, dentist, or podiatrist.
PE Coach - Coach Stehling
