Forney ISD kicked off the new school year at the annual Back to School Rally & Resource Fair, held on Saturday, July 26 at Keith Bell Opportunity Central. The free community event brought families, students, and staff together to celebrate the start of the 2025–26 school year with a day full of connection.


Families had the opportunity to meet campus leaders, connect with the district’s police and safety team, and register for essential services such as transportation and child nutrition. The event featured interactive activities, games, and giveaways designed to make back-to-school planning both engaging and fun for students of all ages.

The rally also encouraged community involvement through opportunities to donate backpacks or host booths. With its mix of resources, entertainment, and school spirit, Forney ISD’s Back to School Rally & Resource Fair embodied the district’s commitment to supporting families and supporting a connected community ready for a successful school year ahead.
