Mott Owl Families,

I am looking forward to the PTO sponsored Spring Fling! It will be a wonderful event that will allow Mott families to connect.

If you are willing to volunteer to help, please sign up soon! The number of inflatables the PTO is renting is dependent on the number of volunteers. So, if you are waiting to see where the gaps are, please go ahead and sign up now so that the PTO knows how many volunteers they will have.

Please make sure to read the information below about this awesome evening!

Stay safe and well,

Tammy Rebecek

Wow! All the Heritage Dolls are incredible! The students did an amazing job decorating the dolls to show their heritage.

Spark your kid’s creativity and build their confidence with our new Camp Invention® program, Explore! When this nationally acclaimed program comes to Jessica Carpenter Elementary from June 13th to June 17th, children in grades K-6 will collaborate with friends in hands on, open-ended STEM adventures. They’ll dive into ocean research with their own robotic fish, develop inventions for space exploration, build a spinning robotic artist and design a mega marble arcade! Each activity is designed to inspire curiosity, stretch imaginations and give your explorer an epic summer experience. Visit invent. org/mylocalcamp to secure your spot! Use promo code SUM15 by 5/18 to save $15.

You are welcome to use both lanes in the morning drop off line, just like in the afternoon. When both lanes are being utilized please remember that when the lanes merge that it is like a zipper. One car at a time from each lane alternating turns.

We have enjoyed having and seeing all the parents that have been able to come to lunch.

A few reminders if you come to eat lunch with your child.

• If you have never signed into Mott for lunch or to volunteer we will need to scan your Drivers License.
• Try and get here five to ten minutes before your students scheduled lunch time. That gives you enough time to sign in, walk down to the cafeteria and find a seat.
• You are only allowed to eat with your child (No friends, cousins, neighbors)
• We cannot pull students out of class to eat at the same time as their siblings. We do not want students to miss important instructional minutes. Please wait until your other student's lunch time to enjoy eating with them as well.

We have noticed an increase in the number of students coming in after the 7:35 bell rings.

Being tardy to school often upsets students, and starts their day off on a negative note. The daily announcements start promptly at 7:35. When the bell rings and your student is not in class, they are missing important information about upcoming events, student recognition, dress up days, etc. It also causes a disruption to instruction.

A traffic tip: If you are dropping your child off, try to get to the school by 7:20 a.m. at the latest. That will give you plenty of time.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT...

REGISTER NOW!

Enrollment for students new to Mott for the 2022-2023 school year has begun. All of the information needed, including the forms that must be completed can be found at this link: https://www.pfisd.net/domain/232 Existing Pre-K students will need to re-enroll for kindergarten and provide one proof of residency and an undated shot record. If your child is a current K-5 student at Mott, you do not need to re-enroll.

Enrolling new students before the end of the school year is very important, because we base staffing numbers on enrollment numbers. If we need more teachers, we would want to know that now instead of knowing that in August. Please pass this information along to all your new neighbors!

Please contact our registrar, Mr. Ray, for any enrollment questions. steven.ray@pfisd.net or 512-594-4738
