Free and Reduced Lunch Message

Dear Families,

With the end of the pandemic, there are no longer waivers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture this year that provide free meals to all students in the district. Although our school is designated as a free meals campus, we are asking all parents to please fill out the free/reduced-price application so that accurate information is associated with your child’s account and with our school. Having this application on file not only provides an important update to your child’s records, but it also qualifies you to receive other benefits. You can find the application at www.schoolcafe.com/fbisd. The application is quick, easy and confidential. The web address again is www.schoolcafe.com/fbisd. If you have questions or need assistance, please call Fort Bend ISD’s Child Nutrition Department at 281-634-1855. That’s 281-634-1855. They have staff members on duty who can assist you. To those who have already filled out the application - thank you for doing so. We appreciate it.

Lunch Visitors

Parents,

We are excited to welcome lunch visitors to MGE. In order to ensure a smooth transition and respect health and safety protocols, we ask that all parents follow the schedule below. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Note that Wednesdays are Family Day, This is the day that parents with students in multiple grade levels may come to eat with their students.

Example: Parent can eat with 1st grade student and 3rd grade student on Family Day,

Our Gators' Safety is Our Priority

Parents, thank you for a GREAT start to our school year. In order to continue to have a wonderful year, we'd like to share a few safety reminders.

Please make sure to use the sidewalks and crosswalks during arrival and dismissal.
Refrain from parking in the teacher parking lot before and after school. We have daycare buses who pick up in the back of the school, and it can cause a safety issue for our students.
Please have your car tag when picking students up from Parent Walker Pick Up. You must present your ID on the first day that you pick your student up from PWP so that we know our Gators are going home with the correct parent or guardian.
Please refrain from watching students during breakfast at the cafeteria doors. This causes a serious concern with safety and confidentiality of the other students.
Please email your child's teacher with dismissal changes by 2:00 p.m. This gives us time to ensure the change has been communicated so that your Gator goes home safely. You may also call the front office, but you will be asked to follow up with an email to the teacher.
