A note from your administrators...
Dear Pullen families,
Can you believe we are already in October, we are definitely enjoying this cooler weather! We invite you to login to Skyward, there you can find the latest progress reports for your child.
You may have noticed a sign in front of our school about the upcoming bond proposal. Rockwall ISD is quickly growing, to prepare for the increasing student population, the RISD Board of Trustees took a community-driven approach to prioritizing the District's future needs and commissioned a Facilities Bond Committee. They developed a $475.8 million bond proposal that impacts every student and every school in our district. You can find additional information here.
As always if you have any questions or concerns we are here for you.
Thank you,
Mr. Stuart & Mrs. Biehle
