Dear Falcon Family,

Now that we're into the second grading cycle, I'd like to collect some feedback about how you feel things are going at Foster.  In reviewing last year's School Climate Survey results, one of our strengths was the visibility and responsiveness of our team.  We want to keep that going and make sure that our community feels comfortable telling us about our performance.  Please be honest, and provide constructive comments about how you are feeling at this point in the school year. The survey linked below is only two questions, and all responses are anonymous.

Friday, October 9th and Monday, October 12th are student and staff holidays. 

This week, students in grades 9-11 will be taking the PSAT. 10th graders on Tuesday, 11th graders on Wednesday, and 9th graders on Thursday. Fourth period may be extended slightly and some classes will be held in alternate locations in order to accommodate testing, but the daily schedule will remain the same for students who are not testing.

Our Foster Band and Guard once again did very well at the South Region Bands of America Competition, and eared best in their class for the 2nd year in a row! Our water polo, tennis, and cross country programs will be participating in district playoff competitions this week. Best of luck to our students as they represent Foster.

Homecoming is this week!.  The dance will be held on Thursday, October 8th, and the football game will take place on Friday, October 9th at Traylor Stadium.  More information about the dance can be found in this week's newsletter.  Be sure to participate in the Spirit Week dress up days.  Have fun and show your school spirit!

Please review the information in this week's newsletter. Should you still have additional questions, do not hesitate to contact your child's assistant principal or counselor as listed below. Together we SOAR!

Join us as we celebrate our Foster Falcons who hit a home run on their Advanced Placement (AP) Exams by earning a score of 4 or 5 in May 2026! Parents are invited to cheer on our outstanding scholars as we recognize their hard work, dedication, and academic excellence. 

Invitations will be sent home with all honorees at the end of September. We look forward to celebrating these academic MVPs!

If your senior missed the on campus order dates on October 1 and 2 with Dilly Campus Supply, please click a link below to order. Or your senior can wait for in person date again in December. 

Dilly is the new provider of graduation materials for LCISD so every senior must order a cap/gown/tassel this year.  No cap/gowns can be used from past years.

The senior ONLY has to order the cap/gown/tassel unit.  All other items are the choice of family and senior to order. There is a direct link to the cap and gown ONLY below. 

Dilly Campus Supply will be on campus again on Wednesday, December 9 for in person orders.  The last day to order for the school delivery date is February 1.

The FASFA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) is open for the 2027-2028 school year.  Complete this application soon as students who apply and qualify prior to the January 17th Texas priority deadline may have a better chance at receiving aid.

HB 1481 prohibits students from using personal communication devices during the school day and while on school property. Devices covered under this law include cell phones, smartwatches, tablets, radios, pagers, or any other electronic device capable of telecommunication or digital communication.

All personal communication devices are required to be turned off and put away before entering the school campus. Personal communication devices shall be kept in a student’s backpack or locker, not in clothing pockets. These devices are to remain off and completely out of view onsite for the entirety of the school day. A school day is defined as from the time the student steps into the campus to the last instructional bell.

Devices picked up during the day must be picked up by a parent after school or the following day between 8:00 am and 3:50 pm. Out of consideration for our office staff we request that you avoid the lunch times from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm.
