Please review the attached Fines List (updated as of 1/24/2020) and make a note on the COMMENTS section if the student should be:
· Graduated/Inactive
· Should remain on the list
If the student should remain on the list – you need to send some form of communication to the PARENT to have this fee cleared as soon as possible.
Send your updated list back to Ashlee Feerer with your comments by Monday, 2/03/2020.
Once she has this information updated on the Master List, she will send out a blank “Not Cleared” List for you to add any new fees/fines.
We need to work diligently to try to get these fines cleared before exemptions and end of year activities are upon us!
If you have any questions regarding this list, please don’t hesitate to come by, email or call Ashlee!SPED Data Logs- Ideas from Teachers

Letters of Recommendation
Thank you for working hard to complete the letter of recommendations for the students in a timely manner (5-10 business days) as I have noticed many are already complete!! Please note – several of these requests have been made months ago – if you are unable to write the letter please communicate that with the students as we don’t want that to cause issue with them being accepted.
Please remember, when you log on to:
· Click Sign in at the top and pick Schools & District Staff
· Sign in with CLEVER
· Type in WILLIAM B. TRAVIS (be sure to pick the FBISD one)
· Click Log in with LDAP
· Your username and password is your skyward credentials. Please make sure you open it in chrome!
If you have already taken care of these, yet your name is still on here, please let me know so I can help clear your name from this end J If you need any help, please don’t hesitate to ask, I am happy to do so!
Please remember: If your student is applying to any school with a CA in the computer screen next to it, you will need to fill out the Common App Teacher evaluation. If you need assistance with this, please let me know. The letter will not send without filling this out as well – it’s short and easy! (This year, I believe it actually prompts you which is an added bonus)
Please finish it off by clicking the send button next to prepare – click the schools and then click send…otherwise they are sitting in “In Progress”
