Happy Summer Sunday, CFHS Chargers!
💥 We’re Back, Charger Nation! 💥
Our amazing staff returned last week, full of energy and ready to make this year unforgettable! From training and planning to a little fun, they’ve been working hard to set the stage for another incredible school year. Fulshear High is proud to be an A-rated campus, and that’s thanks to the dedication of our teachers, staff, students, and parents. We’re grateful, we’re proud, and we’re ready to roll. August 11th—here we come!
📩 Weekly Newsletter Reminder
Every Sunday, I send out the Fulshear High newsletter with everything you need to know. Check your email and Parent Square texts weekly! This helps students stay informed and build responsibility. Teachers also review the newsletter during advisory on Mondays, so students get a second chance to catch anything they missed.
💡 Helpful Tip:
The newsletter is your 24/7 resource. You don’t have to read every word, but when your Charger says, “I don’t know,” the answer is probably in there. 😉
🚌 Transportation Form – DUE TODAY!
All students must complete the transportation form—even if you don’t ride the bus.
⚠️ Bus riders will NOT be allowed to ride the first week of school if this form isn’t submitted today.

🛡️ New Safety System – Evolv Express
This year, we’re launching a new safety system at all high schools. It’s fast, accurate, and lets students walk in without stopping. It recognizes everyday items like backpacks, phones, keys, and wallets—no need to remove them!
🚫 A few items must be scanned separately. Remember B.L.U.E.:
- Binders
- Laptops (Personal laptops not allowed during school hours)
- Umbrellas
- Eyeglass cases
📵 New Law – HB 1481
Students can’t use personal communication devices (phones, smartwatches, tablets, etc.) during the school day or on school property. Time to adjust, Chargers!
🚪 Exterior Door Safety
To keep our campus secure, students may only enter through two doors before school and during transitions:
1️⃣ Café Entrance (bus drop-off)
2️⃣ Front Entrance (where I greet you each morning!)
Starting at 7:45 AM, head straight to the cafeteria. Once it’s full, we’ll send students to the auditorium.
🚫 No gym door entry—reserved for athletes with morning practice.
🎒 Need to drop off gear or instruments? Wait until the 8:15 bell, then get to class by 8:25 to avoid being tardy.
Let’s kick off the year with safety, focus, and Charger pride! 💜⚡️

REMINDER: 2025-2026 Student Transportation Form Submission
Dear Lamar CISD parents and guardians,
Please complete the required student transportation form before the start of the new school year. This form provides our transportation department with important information to organize bus routes for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year.
All students, no matter their form of transportation, must have a submission form completed by their parent or guardian before the start of the next school year.
Log into Family Access to fill out and submit the form. For more information and to access Skyward Family Access, visit LCISD.org/transportation. Please contact your student's campus with any questions.
|
As the 2025–2026 school year begins across the country, we want to remind everyone that the first few weeks can be busy and a little chaotic. With students, staff, and families all returning, traffic around campus—especially during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up—can be challenging. Please be patient and prioritize safety over speed. Rushing or driving recklessly puts everyone at risk, including your child. We recommend leaving a few minutes earlier than usual to allow for delays, and consider carpooling or using district transportation to help reduce congestion.
Buses will drop off behind the school, and those students will enter through the Cafeteria Entrance. Students dropped off in front of the school will enter through the Main Entrance.
Please note: only buses are allowed behind the school—the gate will be closed from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM daily.
Thank you for your cooperation as we work together to ensure a safe and smooth start to the school year!

New Safety System Installed at All High Schools (LCISD Email Sent 8-1-2025)
Dear Lamar CISD Families,
Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students and school community is paramount. As part of our ongoing efforts to create a safe learning environment for our students and staff, we are introducing a new safety measure for the upcoming school year.
Starting with the 2025–2026 school year, all high school campuses will implement the Evolv Express safety system—an advanced detection technology designed to enhance campus safety without disrupting the flow of the school day. This system allows students and visitors to walk through at a natural pace, reducing bottlenecks at entrances while helping our teams identify potential safety concerns quickly and accurately.
To prepare for this update, our campus administrators and the Lamar CISD Police Department participated in specialized training with the Evolv Technology team this summer.
What to Expect:
The Evolv Express system is designed to recognize everyday personal items such as backpacks, phones, watches, wallets, and keys—so students will NOT need to remove these as they enter the building. However, to ensure smooth passage, a few items will need to be taken out and passed separately through the system. To help students remember, we’re using the acronym B.L.U.E.:
-
Binders
-
Laptops *Students can’t use personal laptops during school hours and must follow the personal communication devices law (HB 1481).
-
Umbrellas
-
Eyeglass cases
We understand that any new process takes time to adjust to, and we’re here to support our students and families through this transition. This enhancement is one of many ways we are working to prioritize safety while maintaining the respectful, positive school culture that makes Lamar CISD so special.
Thank you for your understanding and your continued support. We are thankful for our community's strength and unity in ensuring the safety and security of all our students. If you have any questions, please contact us at Info@LCISD.org. |
July 10th LCISD Email - New Texas Law Restricting Personal Communication Devices Use During the School Day!
Dear Lamar CISD Families,
We want to make you aware of a new Texas law that will go into effect at the start of the 2025–2026 school year and directly impacts student use of personal communication devices during the instructional day.
During the 89th Texas Legislative Session, House Bill 1481 was passed into law. This bill prohibits students from using personal communication devices during the instructional 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.
This law applies to all public and open-enrollment charter schools across Texas, including Lamar CISD. Importantly, exceptions are made for students with documented medical needs or special education accommodations, which will be addressed according to the appropriate plans and protocols.
What This Means for Lamar CISD Students (PK–12)
Beginning with the 2025–2026 school year, Lamar CISD will implement the following practices in accordance with the new law:
- All personal electronic devices, including cell phones and smartwatches, must be turned off before entering campus.
- Devices must be stored in backpacks or lockers—not on the student’s person (e.g., clothing pockets)—and must remain powered off and completely out of view throughout the school day.
- Use or visible possession of any personal communication device during the school day will result in confiscation and disciplinary consequences.
This includes all areas inside the school building, such as:
- Classrooms
- Libraries
- Cafeterias
- Hallways
- Restrooms
- Locker rooms
- Any other common spaces
Devices may be turned back on only after the final bell at dismissal. At this time, students may use them to communicate with parents or guardians regarding transportation or other after-school needs.
Dismissal Times by Grade Level
-
Elementary A: 2:40 PM (7:15 AM – 2:40 PM)
-
Elementary B: 3:10 PM (7:45 AM – 3:10 PM)
-
Middle School / Junior High: 4:30 PM (9:05 AM – 4:30 PM)
-
High School: 3:50 PM (8:25 AM – 3:50 PM)
Please note: Receiving a call or text from a parent or family member during class is not an acceptable reason for device use. If you need to reach your child during the school day, please call the school’s front office, and we will ensure your message is delivered.
*If a student needs to make an emergency call during the day, they should report to the front office.

What was fine in July probably isn’t going to meet our expectations in August. So as you’re out shopping for back-to-school clothes, please keep our dress code in mind. I’m sharing this now so you have time to make adjustments before the first day and avoid any surprises.
Thank you for your support in helping us keep the focus where it belongs—on learning. Let’s start the year strong, dressed for success, and ready to charge forward together! 💜⚡️

ATTENTION CLASS OF 2026!
ALL CFHS CLASS OF 2025 STUDENTS MUST HAVE A SENIOR PORTRAIT TAKEN TO BE IN THE 2026 YEARBOOK AND IN THE SENIOR SLIDESHOW AT GRADUATION!
There is NO CHARGE for the yearbook/slideshow pose, but Seniors MAY order additional portrait packages from Cady Photography!
Students have 2 options to take their cap and gown picture:
Option 1: Sign Up and take picture onsite at Cady Location – Please use this link: cady.com/schedule
or
Option 2: Senior Roadshow on campus at CFHS 9/4/, 10/9, 11/6
FAQ:
What makes a senior photo different from the ones for underclassmen? Great question! Seniors are photographed in their graduation gown in front of a specially selected background.
What if being in the yearbook doesn’t matter to me? That’s fine. While a yearbook is a lasting historical record of the year, we understand that it’s not important to everyone. However, in addition to placing the senior portraits in the yearbook, we also provide them to the district for display at our graduation ceremony in May. If your child hasn’t taken their photo by the deadline, we won’t receive it for publication or distribution to the district for use at graduation.
When is the deadline (and what happens if I miss it)? The senior portrait deadline for the Class of 2026 is DECEMBER 5, 2025. If you miss the deadline, we will not receive your photo for publication or distribution to the district for use at graduation.
What if I want to take my portrait somewhere else? We are only able to use photographs sent to us by our official photography company, Cady Studios. We cannot accept or use photos from any other companies.
Why should I take my photos this summer? Senior year is a very busy year. Getting your portraits taken in the summer ensures that you already have one thing marked off of your to-do list before the year begins. Additionally, taking your photos at Cady’s studio ensures you access to more varied backgrounds and options and allows parents to be present to watch all of it.
Do we HAVE to take our pictures during the summer? Won’t there be some on-campus dates this year? We highly encourage you to take your photos this summer, because it will give you an overall better experience and we all tend to have a bit more flexibility in our schedules during the summer months. As we do every year, we will have three on-campus dates this year (Sept 4; Oct 9, Nov. 6), but - due to the large size of our graduating class - we will not be able to accommodate everyone during these dates. The on-campus dates fill up very quickly and only open for booking on the Cady website one month in advance. Booking during the summer ensures that you will not be caught up in the swell of people who put this off until the last minute.
