Message from the Principal
Viking Families,
We are one week away from the launch of an online school year, and your children’s teachers are deep into the professional learning required to shift our classrooms into a virtual space in the most impactful and meaningful way possible. Simultaneously, there are other processes coming together to help get the year launched successfully. This newsletter has some important updates for you and your family to know and understand. One of which is an action item on your part, and that has to do with the new resource the District launched last week called 1Link. Please be sure to read the section on 1Link, practice using it this week, and ensure that your child’s login works. 1Link is the connection to how your child will arrive in his/her first class at 9:00am on Monday, August 17.

FBISD 1LINK
Online learning can open a world of new possibilities; however, it can also come with its fair share of challenges. Easy access should not be one of those challenges. This Fall, Fort Bend ISD is proud to introduce 1Link (Powered by ClassLink).
1Link is a single sign-on platform that allows students, teachers and staff to utilize one username and password to access their digital resources and tools including Schoology and Clever. Single sign-on is an essential tool for productive remote learning. 1Link is web-based and available from the classroom or at home and can be accessed from a computer or mobile device.
All actively enrolled FBISD students can access 1Link using their district email (Ex. john.d1@student.fortbendisd.com) and network password. New student enrollees will be granted access upon completion of the enrollment process. Parents must log in to Skyward Family Access to retrieve password credentials for their student(s), which can be found in the Online Forms section of Skyward Family Access. Instructions for the retrieval of student password information can be found on the Fort Bend ISD website.
For more information about 1Link, please visit www.fortbendisd.com/1link.
Access 1Link at 1link.www.fortbendisd.com.
Enrollment Verification and Back to School Readiness
Starting Friday, August 7th at 6:00 am online enrollment verification will re-open only for the families that have not verified and will close again on Wednesday, August 12th, at midnight.

NOTE: Enrollment Verification will only be available for parents that have not completed the process for their students. If a parent completed the verification for one child and not the other, the parent will only see the form for the one child for which it verfication needs to be completed.
