From the Office
We're one week away from spring break and we appreciate your support in helping to keep our scholars focused. Below are a few simple things you can do to help:
Help your scholar get a good night's sleep
Make sure your scholar charges his MacBook EVERY night
Check Focus for grades so your scholar can have a strong start to the 5th six weeks
Communicate with the Dream Team about any concerns or questions
Spend time together as a family
Lockheed Martin Visits Engineering Class

Absence Notes
As with all of us, sometimes our young men lose things between home and school. When your scholar is absent, you can upload his absence note directly into Parent Portal, assuring it gets to the school and creates an electronic documentation of when it was uploaded. You are not required to upload your notes here, but it is an option.
For scholar anonymity, you must be logged into a FWISD account to access this page. There are photos of school activities, information about other libraries, access to databases and more. This is your information hotline for the library!
