Hearing and Vision Screenings

Nurse Sue will be conducting hearing and vision screenings on September 16-17 for Kindergarten, 1st grade, 3rd grade and new students in 2nd and 4th grade.  This will take place during the school day.  If your child wears glasses or hearing support devices, please make sure they are wearing them for their examination.  Please reach out to Nurse Sue susan.pieler@kellerisd.net  if you have any questions. 

NWEA MAP Testing Window is Open

All KISD students participate in the NWEA MAP Test which is an assessment that provides us with standards based data that allows us to measure each student's growth throughout the year.  This tool provides teachers with a variety of reports and information that help them to address the unique needs of our students.  The test is adaptive, and adjusts based on the response of each student, which provides us with information to determine which skills and concepts they have mastered and which they may need additional reinforcement.  MAP data "talks" with many of our resources, such as Dreambox, to allow us to personalize these practice activities based on student needs. For more information about MAP, please watch the video on the the NWEA site: https://www.nwea.org/resource-center/resource/what-is-map-growth/ or visit with your child's teacher for more information about your child's progress.  We will inform you when your child's results are available in Aeries and teachers will be sharing the family report with you when those become available. 

Absences

While we appreciate a phone call letting us know your child is absent, with the updated Attendance procedures, we will now request a written explanation of absences for each day they were absent.  This may be an email sent to Tyler.Lamon@kellerisd.net or a written note that is sent upon your child's return.  

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!

👟 Fun Run Event Schedule

Thank you for your contributions to our Boosterthon Fun Run pledges, so far! Please be sure that if you would like your child to wear sunscreen, they come with it already applied, as we are unable to put it on or facilitate that. 

We look forward to having our families join us to celebrate in our Fun Run event on Friday, September 13th! 

Modified Co-Curr Schedule for the Fun Run on September 13.  Students will run during their co-curr time as indicated below: 

• 4th Grade:8:10-9:10

• 3rd Grade: 9:10-10:10

• 2nd Grade: 10:10-11:10

• 1st Grade 12:25-1:25

• Kindergarten 1:30-2:30

🚨 Security- Visitor Check-In for Fun Run

As a part of our security procedures, all parents and guests must check in following the procedures below. All parents/visitors must bring their government issued ID (Drivers license, or state ID).

• All new families who have not yet checked in to our visitor check-in (Raptor system) yet or those who are new to FES and have not yet checked into the Raptor system will need to check in at the front office using the Raptor system. Please plan to arrive early to ensure plenty of time to check in, or if you want to beat the crowd, we encourage you to come at any time Monday-Wednesday to check-in to the raptor system to avoid the long line the day of the event. Once you have checked in, you will wait in the main hallway until it is time to go into the cafeteria for our event. 

• All returning families who checked in using raptor in already this year this year will be able to check in at one of the two tables at our main entrance. (You will present your ID and we will check you off of the list.) 

Parent Seating and Exit from the Event

We will have parent and spectator seating available in the Stage area as our event will take place in the cafeteria and gym areas.  

If you arrive early, we will ask you to wait in the main hallway until the last group has cleared out.  Due to parking limitations, we will have the overflow parking lot open and we ask that once your child has completed the run, please kindly exit through door 20 (through the gym) to allow for the next grade level's parents to have parking availability. Students will return with their classes to finish the school day. 

Attendance Reminder

*Please note, we encouirage all students to remain at school for the duration of the school day, as we will still be conducting regular classes and learning throughout the day and will celebrate together by sliming Mrs. Brandel, Mrs. Jones, and Mrs. Price at the end of the day! If you choose to check your child out early, you will need to do so through our front office and it would be counted as a partial day absence according to our attendance policies. After their fun run, your child will return to their classroom with their class and would be called down once you have signed them out, following our regular early release procedures. We appreciate your patience in this process as our front office staff members will be prioritizing the check-in of parents and guests first and then will call down students after check in has completed for each grade level.
