Building Forward: The doors are about to open at Frank Borman Elementary!
We're getting closer to the start of school, and a brand-new campus is nearly ready for students and staff.
Classrooms are ready, technology is in place, and finishing touches are underway at this campus built from the ground up. A dedicated storm shelter and modern safety systems are also in place to support a safe school year.
This would not be possible without the support of our community. We look forward to welcoming students and staff to their new campus this school year. See you August 13, Astros!

Building Forward: The First Bell at McNair Elementary is Around the Corner!
Can you believe it? In just nine more days, the halls of McNair Elementary will be full again. The past few weeks have made a real difference, and the campus our students left in the spring looks noticeably different heading into fall.
The interior feels fresh, the new HVAC controls will keep classrooms comfortable, and the updated fine arts areas are set to give young artists and performers room to shine. Out back, the new playground is ready for its first round of recess. Behind the scenes, safety upgrades like the new door-locking system, redesigned security vestibule, and updated cameras are all in place, along with refreshed devices and interactive digital panels waiting in classrooms.
We owe a big thank-you to our community for making this possible. Your support is the reason our students and staff get to begin the year in spaces built to help them thrive.
Almost there, Commanders. We'll see you very soon! View and share the video: https://youtu.be/gYSrsTi9fy0
