Notes from 2nd Grade Team
We are always looking for ways to stay connected to our students' families here at Purefoy. Please like and follow our school's *new* Facebook page by clicking here. We will post frequent photos and updates from around our building 🙂
Our recess is 11-11:30 and lunch 11:30-12:00. Thank you for placing your child's forgotten lunch on the shelf outside the cafe on time.
Your child should be bringing home their red guided reading pouch as well as the communication folder daily. If they are not, please ask them to bring them home. It's important that kids are practicing spelling words and reading their guided reading books at home.

Volunteer Background Checks
FISD policy requires that each volunteer, chaperone and/or mentor undergo a background check every year beginning in July. Volunteers new to the system will create a VOLY account at the link below, and if you already have an account, log in to your existing account at this same link:
When completing the form, mark each school you plan to volunteer at so that you are approved for each of those campuses.
