Support Austin High School
Please join us this Saturday, October 24 from 10am-5pm for the 3rd Annual AHS Band Mattress Fundraiser at Eagle Heights Church (16718 W Bellfort Blvd, Richmond, TX 77407). I know a Mattress Fundraiser seems like an odd thing, but I can genuinely tell you that this sale has the same professionalism and quality you would expect at any of the top mattress stores. They contain all the name brands you expect to see at the big stores but they offer the opportunity to save you money on your purchase as this company does not spend on advertising or for a showroom.
Please check out the attached flyer which has a coupon for an additional $100 off for all our AHS staff! I’m sure we have all been spending a lot more time in your bed over the last 7 months so maybe you have found it is time to upgrade.
Thank you for your support and we hope to see you there!

Building Awareness
The Fort Bend ISD Athletic Department has declared the week of October 19, 2020 through October 27, 2020 as Breast Cancer Awareness week. Each Fort Bend ISD Varsity Volleyball, Tennis, Cross Country, Swim, Golf, and Football Teams, including the coaching staff, will recognize this cause. Campus Athletic Training Staff will also function under these guidelines as a team. Cheerleaders will also show their support during the week and in some cases during the month of October.
PSAT Testing
Next week our 12th grade students will take the SAT on Tuesday October 27th and our 11th graders will take the PSAT on Thursday October 29th.
Testing will begin promptly at 7:30 am. Please make sure your student has breakfast and arrives early enough to reach their testing room prior to the start time.

Grab and Go Lunch
Fort Bend ISD Child Nutrition is pleased to announce that all students; kids and teens the age of 18 months to 18 years old and enrolled students with disabilities up to 21 years old can receive Grab & Go school breakfast and lunch, free of charge! Whether students are learning online or face-to-face meals are free to all at every campus and at our curbside locations; again, they do not have to be a FBISD student to receive free meals.
FBISD Child Nutrition is still strongly encouraging all families to complete a Free & Reduced Meals application at www.schoolcafe.com/fbisd; because when we return from Winter Break meals will no longer be free to everyone and regular status of free, reduced or paid will begin. However, this is not required to receive the free meals.
Our team appreciates everything you do and supports your efforts by serving meals many students need to stay alert and ready to learn. Please use the meal promotion tools below to help us ensure your students and their families know how to access our school meals. Adding these digital elements to your communications will help us connect more families with federally funded meal programs administered by the Texas Department of Agriculture.
Curbside Grab & Go breakfast and lunch will be available from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m., and lunch will be available from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Friday at the following locations:
- Dulles High School (550 Dulles Ave, Sugar Land, 77478)
- Elkins High School (7007 Knights Ct, Missouri City, 77459)
- Hightower High School (3333 Hurricane Ln., Missouri City, 77459)
- Hodges Bend Middle School (16510 Bissonet St., Houston, 77083)

Parents can now pick up meals for students at our curbside meal locations, and must provide one of the following documents:
• Student ID cards
• Individual student report cards
• Attendance record from parent portal of Skyward
• Birth certificate for children
Without one of the listed documents, parents will receive meals for the number of students present with them, on foot or in a vehicle.
Thank you for working with us to increase awareness of school meals so students can get the nutrition they need to be healthy and ready to learn.
