We LOVED having all our visitors this week.  From Grandparents to All Pro Dads, we had lots of smiles, hugs, and gratitude!  It was our biggest turn out for both events!  We hope to see the large attendance at each month's All Pro Dads! 

A big THANK YOU to our PTO for hosting the events.  We appreciate all the volunteers who gave their time setting up and taking down the tents and tables, along with the golf cart shuttles, and greeting our guests.

Important Reminders

**Don't forget, school starts promptly at 7:35. If your child arrives after that time, they are tardy and will be missing instruction. Thank you for your support!

**Parent/Teacher Conferences for Elementary campuses are on September 18th.  All scheduling will go through the teachers. Thank you!

**All toys should remain at home. This helps avoid unnecessary distractions/conflicts in the classroom. Thank you! 

This Year's Spirit Days:
Mondays: Wear your favorite FORES Mustang shirt
Wednesdays: Wear your favorite college shirt
Fridays: Wear your favorite BISD spirit wear
