Early Dismissal on Friday, December 20th

Please note that Friday, December 20, is an early release day for all students. Students that ride a bus will be dismissed at 11:45am, with walkers and car riders following. The FES cafeteria will serve a sack lunch, but students will not be required to eat lunch at school on this day. Thank you for making arrangements for your child to be picked up earlier than normal to start the holiday break! 

If you wish to sign out your child early on Friday, please check them out with their teacher. *Note: any departure before 11:45 will be considered as an early check-out and marked as a parent note absence. 

*Due to classroom capacity, FES students will only be permitted to attend their own classroom party (not that of a younger or older sibling) and should remain with their class until dismissal or until their parent checks them out to go home. Future falcon siblings are welcomed to join in the fun! 

Holiday Schedule

All Keller ISD campuses and administrative offices will be closed December 18- January 3 for Winter Break. Keller ISD classes will resume on Tuesday, January 7, 2025. 

Q2 Grades

All grades for first semester will be posted and viewable Friday, January 10th.  Please take a look and reach out to your child's teacher with any questions you may have. 

Theatre is Returning for the Second Semester!

As we begin our second semester, students will participate in the following Co-Curr classes: PE, Music and Theatre. 

Students have enjoyed our Art class with Mrs. Wilson during first semester. She and Mrs. Klein will switch locations to teach the second portion of Co-Curr. Mrs. Wilson will be teaching Art at Friendship Elementary and Mrs. Kleine will be coming here and will teach our Theatre Co-Curr class.  Thank you, Mrs. Wilson, for cultivating the talents of our artists this semster!  

Colder Weather Clothing

Please be sure that your child is coming to school with weather appropriate clothing including a jacket or a coat, as they will continue to attend recess outside when the temperature falls within our district policy. Please be sure to label all coats, jackets, and winter accessories with your child's name as this is the time of year where our lost and found tends to grow! 

Alternate Recess 

As we monitor the temperature and weather, we may move to an alternate or indoor recess plan, depending on the circumstances.  Under district policy, students will not go outside if temperatures or heat index are at or above 98 degrees Fahrenheit or if the wind-chill or temperature is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit.  If temperatures are between 32-40 degrees outside activity will be limited to 20 minutes. If Ozone levels reach red of purple, there will be no outside activity. Students will participate in activities in the classrooms or flex space and will have a choice of games, hands on activities, movement and other options.  (Not an iPad time) 

Volunteers and Visitors

Parents are always welcome at FES! If you are interested in volunteering, you must fill out the Keller ISD Volunteer Application. All FES visitors are required to enter at door #1, go through the front office, provide picture identification, and obtain a visitor badge before proceeding to any part of the building which must be worn in a visible area for the duration of the time on campus. Office staff will verify the visitor is a parent, guardian, or approved contact for a student.

Guests are only allowed in designated areas to minimize disruption of the learning environment and may not go throughout the building, to the playground, or classrooms. 

Guests are required to exit the building through the office during school hours. We value and appreciate guests and all volunteers at FES!
