Thank you for your patience as we all learn the logistics of arrival and dismissal these first few weeks.  Your help in keeping our students and staff safe during this process is appreciated!

*Reminder: there is no parking on Angus and be mindful of the one-way streets during arrival and dismissal.*

As a reminder, FWISD provides free school supplies for each student, but there are still a few additional items that are helpful for each student to have. 

La Puerta Spanish Center will be providing after-school Spanish class for our Mustangs during the 2024-2025 school year! Registration opened on May 1st and is filled on a first come, first served basis.  For more information, click the button below.

“The process” itself hasn’t changed - we are just helping to expedite the process. The early dismissal sign-out is in the office and will still be used as needed. We have created a google doc that parents may complete in advance for early dismissals. This is an effort to alleviate parents having to reach out to teachers directly during instruction time and eliminate a long wait for your student to come up to the office, especially when time is critical. We will call the student(s) a few minutes before the requested dismissal time and have them wait for pick up. If the students have not been picked up within 5 minutes of the requested dismissal time, we will return them to class. The form is available below, or on the PTA website - rhpta.com

Here are answers to a few FAQs:

Q: Who can submit the early dismissal request form?
A: Only contacts listed in FOCUS can request an early dismissal.

Q: Are IDs required?
A: Yes. Authorized contacts MUST present a valid, government issued ID before the student will be released.

Q: What’s the earliest I can request an early dismissal?
A: Electronic requests can be made as early as parents would like for the same day. Students will be marked absent if they are not in class at 10am.

Q: What’s the latest time for early dismissals?
A: 2pm for Pre-K, 2:45 K -5 

If there are any other questions, please contact the main office (817) 815-1700.
