Message from FISD Superintendent, Dr. Sherri Bays
|
Welcome to the 2019-20 school year!
At FISD, we do our best work when we are collaborating with our parents and community, both inside and outside of our campus walls. This is evident, most recently, through our work on the FISD Strategic Plan, with over 100 stakeholders contributing to the process. We look forward to seeing that plan come to life as we strive to achieve the goals set by our stakeholders. Those goals are student-centered and charge FISD to ensure that each student will maximize their potential, be a lifelong learner who is prepared for their future, and be a contributing member of the global society. These are the things we want for our kids!
I look forward to seeing each of you throughout the school year as we work together to support our students’ academic and social growth. Our doors are open and our hearts are full as we begin an exciting new school year with our Floresville Family!
