Link Crew is a high school transition program that welcomes Freshmen and makes them feel comfortable throughout their first year of high school. Studies show that if students have a positive experience their first year, their chance for success increases dramatically. As a positive role model, you can help facilitate Freshman success. Again, applications can be found at the front desk, and are due to room 201 by Thursday, May 18.

"Seniors who participate in "senior pranks" which violate the student code of conduct or the Texas Penal Code may be subject to disciplinary consequences including, but not limited to, participation in commencement, prom, Pro Grad, etc., and other senior privileges at the discretion of the superintendent or superintendent’s designee”.

There were students from other FBISD high schools last year that were NOT allowed to come to graduation, prom or ProGrad because of a prank.  Please think twice before participating in any type of prank.

Even though the EOC won’t have a 15% impact on those students subject to EOC testing this year,  it is important for those students to remember that there is still a cumulative requirement for graduation.

As a result of the deferment, students subject to STAAR/EOC testing will take an "End of Term" exam during the scheduled semester exam time. 
STAAR testing and final exams are explained in detail HERE.
