A Message from your Principal....

Foster Family,

Graduation tickets were passed out to all seniors during lunch on Thursday the 27^th. If your student did not pick them up, they need to go by the front office during regular business hours. All tickets must be signed for as proof of receipt. Please ask for them from your senior this weekend. We don’t want them lost in a backpack.

Each Senior gets two parking passes for graduation. The district also has limited handicapped parking. If you need handicapped parking, bring one of the two parking passes to the front office along with proof of handicapped parking and we will trade a pass out. The pass will only get you access to the handicapped lot. Traditional handicapped signage is also required.

Finally, we want to congratulate our softball team for being undefeated District Champions and our baseball team for making the playoffs. We hope to make a deep playoff run in both sports.

2023 - 2024 School Hours

As one of the fastest-growing districts in Texas, it is our responsibility to anticipate and respond to the needs of our students, parents, and staff – now more than ever.

With campuses stretched across 385 square miles, our families and staff have spent the last two years combatting bus driver shortages and long transit hours, and the challenges have only increased.

To alleviate these growing pains, our Trustees approved new school hours at the February board meeting. We have designed the following four-tier system, which will be implemented at the beginning of the 2023-2024 school year. This shift ensures that we have enough drivers for each route and eliminates the need for comeback routes.

7:15 AM to 2:40 PM Elementary (Group A)

7:45 AM to 3:10 PM Elementary (Group B)

8:25 AM to 3:50 PM High School

9:05 AM to 4:30 PM Middle School & Junior High

Our commitment to serve the community is strong. Thank you for staying engaged. Your involvement ensures that our District carries on a proud tradition of excellence.

YOU CAN'T PARK THERE!!

Student parking is available at the campus for those who meet the parking requirements. Student pick-up is also located on campus. It has been brought to our attention that students are parking and being picked up at the shopping center parking lot next door. This is becoming very unsafe for the customers who are walking from their vehicle to their destination in that shopping center.

Beginning Monday, February 13, 2023, students may not walk to the shopping center to be picked up after school. In addition, students who park there will be subject to have their vehicle towed at the vehicle owner's expense. Thank you for your cooperation.
