Traffic Flow Pattern

If you are picking your child up from school each day, please discuss a pre-arranged location with your child where they can expect to find you following our first school day.

To facilitate this arrangement, please reference our campus pick-up traffic flow chart located on our website under Resources and General Campus Info. link. To ensure appropriate safety, students are not allowed to cross Enchanted Ridge Drive without parent assistance.

Parents of those who ride buses to and from school, please ensure that your child knows their assigned bus number prior to utilizing this FISD service. The two FMS traffic flow documents are available to you on our Fowler Website. You may also reference the links below:

Lunch Drop Off procedure

We know that our families like to deliver a fresh lunch for students, and we appreciate the effort that parents go through to bring nutritious food for their students. We are just taking the front office out of the process. The teachers on Lunch Room duty will bring the coolers into the cafeteria at the beginning of each lunch period for students.

Students may receive lunch drop-offs via the grade level coolers outside the cafeteria entrance on the West side of our building. All drinks left in the coolers must be in sealed containers (no “to-go” cups). Lunches should be labeled with the student's name before being placed in the coolers. Lunch should be dropped off 15 minutes before the beginning of each lunch period. Parents with late deliveries will need to sign in and deliver the lunch to their student in the cafeteria. No food delivery services are permitted (UberEats, DoorDash, etc.)

Student Lunch Times for your reference:

6th Grade Lunch 11:25-11:55, please have lunch here by 11:10

7th Grade Lunch 12:11-12:41, please have lunch here by 11:56

8th Grade Lunch 12:57-1:27, please have lunch here by 12:42.

Parents are still welcome to sign in at the front office and have lunch with their students.

Keep Recycling All Year Long! 🌍♻️

Guess what? Our 'Battery Recycling Drive' just wrapped up, and a big shout-out to all the awesome donors --THANK YOU! 🌟 But here's the cool part: we collect batteries and plastic bags ALL year long. Yup, you heard it right!

Just swing by the designated collection spot in the Fowler front entry foyer anytime. Drop off those batteries and bags, and voilà, you're officially our eco-conscious hero!

🌍 Let's keep it green together! 💚
