Hello Leopard Families-
We hope that you had a relaxing weekend with your loved ones!

Thank you to Williamson County Children's Advocacy Center for presenting to our community on this important topic. Please see the flyer below for additional information. We hope to see you there!
It's not too late to show your support for all Leopards by joining the PTA! Use this link to find out more information!
An Invitation from our Neighbors at PRMS:
Join us at Pearson Ranch's STEAM Night! This is a fun filled evening that is free to the community. We will have breakout rooms, spin art, robotics, coding, button making and so much more! We would love to see our future Rattlers!

If you would like to support our efforts, here is our PTA wishlist for the event.
Note from our England Nurse:
Fever Policy: Students with a temperature of 100˚F or above will be sent home.
To prevent the spread of a contagious disease, students need to fever free without the use of temperature reducing medications for 24 hours before returning to school.
Please do not medicate your student for fever and then send them to school. The medication will lower the body temperature, however the student remains contagious and can spread illness to others. Thank you for your support in keeping our Leopards healthy!
Coffee with the Principal:
We will be hosting our next coffee/discussion on Monday, February 12th from 8:30-9:30. Please RSVP here if you are interested in attending. We hope to see you there!
Annual Family Survey from Round Rock ISD:
Your voice is important! Please check your inbox for our annual survey. Our family survey is mobile-friendly and short. Your input is valuable and will be used to plan and implement opportunities for our school. Thank you to the 14% of our families that have completed this already. We would love to see that participation number grow!

Arrival Procedures:
We are currently collaborating with families and staff to refine our drop off procedures to ensure safe and efficient mornings. In the meantime, please follow these guidelines:
- Remain in your vehicle while in the drop off lane.
- Encourage your child to exit the vehicle independently. (Staff is available for students who need assistance.)
- Pull all the way forward before allowing your student to exit the vehicle.
- If walking up to the school, use the sidewalks along either side of the parking lot. (The area directly in front of the school is not a crosswalk area.)
- Do not drop your student off in the parking lot or park alongside the road for your child to exit your vehicle.
- The drop off line begins to back up a few minutes before 7:30. To avoid your student being tardy at 7:35, please plan to arrive in plenty of time to drive through the line.
Thank you in advance for your support in this area!
We look forward to a week full of engagement, smiles, and learning with our Leopards!
In partnership,
Krystall Williams
