New Dismissal Procedure at DLE

In our ongoing efforts to ensure student safety during dismissal, DLE will begin using the PikMyKid Dismissal Application.

PikMyKid allows us to easily track the dismissal mode of each student and simplifies the process for parents to make changes. The PikMyKid app is free and available for both Android phones and iPhones.

View the Parent App Guide to download and navigate the PikMyKid app.

Once downloaded, the registration process is very simple. PikMyKid student accounts are generated using information directly from Skyward.

Please complete this process as soon as possible! Dismissal information will be confirmed and dismissal tags available for pick up at Meet the Teacher on August 8th.

Questions? Please email Mrs. Boler at megan.boler@fortbendisd.com.

Did You Know?

Shared Dreams is a FBISD program that provides short-term assistance to registered FBISD students whose needs have been determined by their campus nurse and staff. They have helped 15,000 students already this school year! Currently, 48 percent of enrolled FBISD students are considered economically disadvantaged, so Shared Dreams is a crucial support program to those in our FBISD community.

Volunteer of the Year - Leidimar Nemec

Congratulations to Leonetti's Volunteer of the Year, Leidimar Nemec!

Leidimar is an amazing volunteer who comes up to the school every single week to help the front office staff and to help in the Level Library. She has almost single-handedly done all of the laminating and cutting for teachers this year and never asks for help or complains. In addition to laminating every week, she also re-shelves and organizes all of the Level Library books and helps with inventory when new books come in. 

She is also one of the first to sign up when help is needed with special projects.

Congratulations Leidimar and thank you for all you do for our school!
