Construction of Malala Elementary will not be complete until the late fall of 2019. This school is funded through the 2018 Bond Program and will relieve Madden Elementary, which has been closed to new enrollment for two years due to the continued growth along the Grand Parkway corridor.

After careful review of projected enrollment growth for the 2019-20 school year in this area, FBISD District leadership determined that the opening of Malala Elementary would benefit students in this high-growth area by opening mid-year, rather than delaying the start until the following year.

Due to the opening of Malala Elementary, Madden Elementary will no longer be capped to new enrollment beginning in the 2019-20 school year. Students entering kindergarten through fifth grade and who reside within the new Madden Elementary boundary will attend Madden Elementary.

The FBISD Board of Trustees approved attendance boundaries for Malala Elementary in January of 2019, in a two-phase implementation that will begin in August of 2019.

Phase one, to be implemented in the 2019-20 school year, keeps all students within the existing Madden Elementary boundary at either Madden Elementary or Malala Elementary.

Phase two, to be implemented in the 2020-21 school year, there will be slight modifications to the Oyster Creek Elementary attendance boundaries, with Chelsea Harbor, Stratford Park Estates, and land in Cullinan Park and Sugar Land Municipal Airport rezoned to Oyster Creek Elementary.

Additional information about the adopted Malala Elementary boundaries can be found on the Boundary Planning webpage: www.fortbendisd.com/boundaryplanning.

All kindergarten through fifth-grade students will attend their newly zoned campus in August of 2019 at the temporary locations of Oyster Creek Elementary for Malala kindergarten through first-grade students and Mission Bend Elementary for Malala second through fifth-grade students. 

Students who are attending Oyster Creek Elementary during the 2018-19 school year as an overflow student unable to register at Madden Elementary are eligible to apply for a transfer to remain at OCE for the 2019-20 school year. Transfers will be for the entire 2019-20 academic year and parents must provide transportation. 

Staff will place students zoned to Malala who choose to remain at OCE on a transfer to a classroom with OCE students and not in classrooms with Malala students as these students will transition to the new Malala Elementary campus in January of 2020 with their Malala teacher and classmates.  

The transfer process will take place from April 8 - 23 and close on April 23 at 4:30 p.m.  More information can be found on the Department of Student Affairs webpage.

In accordance with FC (Local), students who reside within the new Malala Elementary attendance zone will not be able to remain at Madden Elementary because Madden Elementary does not have the capacity.

All kindergarten through fifth-grade students who are currently attending Madden Elementary and who reside within the Malala Elementary attendance zone will begin the 2019-20 school year at Oyster Creek Elementary (for grades K-1) or Seguin Elementary (for grades 2-5) and will transition to Malala Elementary in January of 2020.

Kindergarten enrollment will begin online in April of 2019. All parents must initiate the process online. After completing online registration, Malala Elementary staff will reach out to parents to schedule in-person meetings.

All students who reside within the Malala Elementary attendance boundary will receive transportation to Oyster Creek Elementary (for grades K-1) or Seguin Elementary (for grades 2-5) in the fall of 2019.
