We hope to see you at your Brave's Meet the Teacher night! Here are a few things to know and reminders in order to make this night a smooth transition to a new year:
We will have multiple doors open (5th grade we will use doors 1, 6, and 8; 6th grade we will use doors 1, 6, and 9) for you to access the building. You may park in the front parking lot, on the north side, and on the west side of campus on Phillips Drive. If you park in the community around our campus, please do not block driveways. At each door, you will be greeted by a staff member who will help direct you to the side of the building where you will find room number information.
In the hallway, you will see students' names listed alphabetically by their last names. Next to it, you will see a room number. This is where a paper copy of the child's schedule will be found. You do not NEED to pick this copy up, it is there for you if you would like one or you are unable to pull up the schedule on Aeries. If you have OFFICE next to your child's name, please report to the office where more information will be given.
You will be able to visit each classroom to do a quick meet and greet with your Brave's teacher. Remember that our teachers are equally excited to meet their new Braves, so if you are in need to give information that lasts more than a couple of minutes OR you want to share confidential information, we ask that you set up a meeting for a different day. This event is just to walk your Brave's schedule and quickly meet your Brave's teachers.
If your student has Gifted and Talented service, please stop by rooms 201 and 202 across from the library to meet Mrs. Owens and Ms. Yancy - the BCI GT Specialists. They will only be available on the August 7th event.
If your student has Dyslexia services, please stop by rooms 323 and 325. Mrs. Trujillo and Mrs. Tate will be here both nights from 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING!
All the days have been beautifully identified on this calendar to help with planning. If you would like access to a printable copy, please click on the following link: https://www.kellerisd.net/about-kisd/calendar
Supply Lists!
If you ordered through PTA, your supply box will be given out at Meet the Teacher. Please give that box to your student's first period teacher.
WHAT? We get our OWN locker?
We know that there is a lot of excitement when it comes to receiving a locker as well as decorating a locker - some for the FIRST time. We also know that there is a lot of apprehension of remembering the locker number as well as the combination. Please set your child's mind at ease. Teachers have had years of experience of teaching this skill as well as give plenty of time for students to practice.
If you are planning on coming up to school on Saturday, August 15th, anywhere from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM for locker decoration, please follow the following expectations:
Locker dimensions: Length - 28 inches; Width - 9 3/4 inches
Refrain from adhering any decorations to the outside of the locker.
As long as items can be easily removed WITHOUT damaging the surface of the locker, it will be fine to use.
Remember that the purpose of the locker is for a safe place to store backpacks, books, etc... If the decor takes up too much space, it will defeat the main purpose of this space.
Talk through with your child how they will keep his/her locker number/combo with them throughout the day. So, he/she will have it memorized, however, having a plan for the first couple of weeks of where it could be stored may be a good idea.
Lockers will be given to students on the first day of school.
Last school year, we communicated out to our elementary campuses as well as talked about this opportunity for new students to come meet new students as well as get to know a little more about Bear Creek Intermediate prior to the first day of school! Please see link for more information and to register.
Mr. Seibert has sent pre-registration emails this week. If you have not recieved an email from him, please reach out at Jake.Seibert@Kellerisd.net
We encourage you to review the map for drop off and pick up expectations. Our focus is for safety for all. The easiest piece of advice is to follow our staff's instructions in our drop off/pick up lanes. If they need you to pull up, please follow this procedure; otherwise, you will be backing up the lanes for drop off which can cause students to be tardy or not being aware of safety concerns as they pertain to our crosswalks. Thank you in advance!
STUDENT ARRIVALS
Thank you for dropping off your student(s) in the student loop using Phillips Dr. between 7:15 am and 7:45 am at Door #6. If it is past 7:45 your student will need to be dropped off in the front office to obtain a tardy pass for class.
The front entrance, Door #1, of the school is reserved for carpooling students of 3 or more who attend BCI. We reserve the front entrance also for SPED buses and those who are on crutches or in wheelchairs.
As a reminder, for the safety of our students and staff, no cell phone use is allowed, the speed limit is 10 mph on school property, and 20 mph in School Zones.
STUDENT DISMISSAL
Student dismissal will have a staggered release. Our BUS riders and WALKERS will be leaving their classrooms at 3:13 PM. In years past, over 70% of our students rode a bus for our PM routes, so, as you can imagine, we will have a lot of students leaving at this time. There is not a designated area where walkers are picked up. Please communicate with your student where you will be each day so that your walker will know which crosswalk to use. We have crosswalks on the south side of campus that cross Bear Creek Parkway and another that crosses over Phillips Drive on the north side of campus. If you are parking your vehicle in our neighborhoods around us, please be respectful by not blocking driveways, walking on lawns, or speeding. We are surrounded by a sweet community and a beautiful park, so we want to make sure we take care of these areas.
At 3:15, our CAR RIDERS will be dismissed. We do not call out names. Students are instructed to watch as the cars pull up to see where they would need to use the crosswalk, if needed. We will have many adults out to help encourage our students to keep watching for you as you safely drive around the loop. Remember to stay off your cell phone in our loop for safety reasons.
For the first week or so of school, please continue to communicate with your student how they will be getting home. i.e. which bus to get on, which location to walk home, who will be picking them up etc. Some times students get very nervous during this new transition and we want to ensure you student gets home safely and on time.
Parents are allowed to have lunch with their student in the vestibule or in the atriums during the student's lunch break.
Keller ISD is currently accepting Free and Reduced Meal Applications for the 2026-27 school year online. Be sure to apply early so your benefits are ready for the first day of school. Families must submit a new application each year to qualify. Thanks to a grant from the State of Texas, students approved for reduced-price meals will receive breakfast and lunch at no charge this year. Families who think they may be eligible for free or reduced meals are encouraged to apply online by visiting SchoolCafe.com/KellerISD.
Keller ISD is proud to have Texas Central School Bus as the District’s transportation provider! TCSB has a fleet of 243 buses and provides transportation to over 7,500 students across the District.
KISD is required to provide bus service to eligible students who live more than two miles from their campus of regular attendance and for special needs students who require transportation to attend school.
For more information about bus routes and stop locations, please use the Bus Stop Finder or call 817-744-1300
Do NOT send food that contains or may contain peanuts or tree-nuts to be eaten as a snack in the classroom. Snacks that do not contain nuts as an ingredient but say they may have been processed in a facility that has peanuts/tree-nuts will still be allowed as a snack.
Birthday parties are a special time for children, and we want to celebrate your child. If you want to send something fun to celebrate, we are requesting that you send non-food items (bubbles, pencils, stickers, etc...). Please do not send a treat containing peanuts/tree-nuts. Any treat brought into the classroom to be consumed by other students MUST be store bought with the ingredient labels attached.
Thank you for being a big part of helping keep BCI safe for all students!
We have students/staff with different allergy needs - some very severe. A severe allergy is an allergy that may cause an anaphylactice reaction. A child with a serious food allergy can suffer a reaction merely by touching an allergy containing food.
Please take note of the bell schedule. If you attended BCI last year, there are a couple of changes.
3rd period will be considered our HOMEROOM. During this 16 minute period, students will be receiving announcements, House activities, and team building.
6th period will be when lunch and recess take place. The 6th period teacher assignment will indicate when your student will have lunch. We will post this information soon.
Dismissal times have changed just a little. We still will do a stagger, however, we will be dismissing our BUS and WALKERS at 3:13 PM and our CAR RIDERS at 3:15 PM.
Students will be receiving their technology the first few weeks of school. Please make sure that the technology is charged and ready to go each school day!
