Update from Sugar Land MS - January 20, 2020
Student ID Badges - Almost Ready to Launch!
We are close to rolling out our student ID badges. In advance of them being distributed, you may wish to check out the district's web page dedicated to these badges, called "ScholarChip" badges. All students will be expected to wear these badges at all times when on campus, on the bus, and at school-related events. Students will receive a complete run-down/training on the use of the badges, including consequences for not having/wearing them, and replacement costs and procedures. If you have a child at Kempner HS, they have already received their badges.
Please check out all the updates we have in this week's Titan News, and be sure to follow us on Twitter (link is below).
Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and your family. We hope you all have a great week!
Kindest regards,

Items for This Week
Older, But Important Items
Immunization Update from Nurse Lincoln - Sixth Graders
Your child did or will receive the Tdap and the Meningitis vaccines at their 11 year-old check-up. Please provide proof of these immunizations to the clinic when your child gets them. These are the required shots for 7th grade and providing them as soon as you get them will keep your child compliant! You may email it to angela.lincoln@fortbendisd.com, fax it to (281) 327-8745 or drop it off in the clinic. For any other medical concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact the clinic at (281) 634-8745.
