Information for Parents and Guardians

Our district is preparing for the upcoming 2026-27 academic year with the launch of FBISD Redesigned, which includes new innovative opportunities for our students and open enrollment at select campuses.

High School Virtual Learning Option

FBISD will launch a Virtual High School option open exclusively to the 2026–27 freshman class. The program will provide a flexible, high-quality learning environment designed to meet the needs of students seeking a fully virtual academic experience while maintaining the rigor and expectations of an FBISD education.

Who Can Apply?

Any student previously enrolled in Texas who will enter the 9th grade in Fall 2026 is eligible to apply. (Students who live within FBISD zones will be given priority placement.)

Extracurricular/UIL Participation

Students who reside within FBISD attendance boundaries will be able to participate in extracurricular/UIL activities during the 2026-27 school year if they attend their designated classes during the day and provide their own transportation to after school activities.

Students who reside outside of FBISD’s attendance boundaries will NOT be able to participate in extracurricular/UIL activities during the 2026-27 school year.
