How do I register a student?
Students need to update their registration online every year. You can find all of the information for registering in FWISD here.
What are the school's hours?
The school day begins at 7:50 and ends at 3:20.
Any student coming in after 8:00 needs to sign in and get a tardy pass before heading to class.
Breakfast is served from 7:40-8:00, so late students may not be able to get breakfast.
Dismissal will begin promptly at 3:20.

Atwood McDonald students follow the FWISD dress code.
Fridays are Spirit Days and students may purchase a school shirt to wear on these days or wear purple and white.

Close-toed shoes with a back are strongly recommended for safety and ability to participate in PE and recess.
