Dear FBISD Parents and Staff,
This year, the district is providing all students with school ID badges.
By Monday, August 19, 2024, most FBISD students will have received their badges, and they are required to wear them at all times at school and on buses.
The only student groups without badges presently are pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students. The process of photographing our littlest learners and creating their badges should be completed over the next several weeks.
The benefits of ID badges are:
- Increased security on school campuses – badges provide a quick way to know when someone may be trespassing onto a campus.
- Ease of transactions in cafeterias and libraries – badges may be used to purchase meals and check out books.
- Use with new Stopfinder bus software – bus riders will scan their badges when they get on and off buses to provide parents and school staff with nearly real-time information about bus arrival times and confirmation that students are on the right bus.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The district is in Phase 1 of using Stopfinder bus software. During this initial phase, the district will ensure Stopfinder is programmed to provide the most accurate data to parents and school staff.
During Phase 2, the parent app will be activated. Parents will receive a notification when the app is ready for downloading.
Thank you,
Fort Bend ISD
