May is National Speech-Language-Hearing Month. This is a time to raise awareness about speech and language disorders, which are among the most common disabilities that school-aged children experience. This is also a time to help all students, no matter how they communicate, to feel included in their school community.

More than 1 million children nationwide receive services for speech and language disorders each year through the school system. Left unaddressed, speech and language disorders can affect a child’s academic and social success. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in schools work with children who have differences in a variety of areas including speech sounds, spoken and written language, stuttering, social communication and many more!

Whether or not you know a child (or adult) who has a speech, language, and/or swallowing disorder, it’s important for everyone to reflect on how we can be respectful and supportive to those who do. Give a person time to get their message out, focus on what a person is saying rather than how they’re saying it, and never bully someone for how they communicate.

Thank you, PfISD SLPs, for working with students and improving their communication skills!

State assessments results and detailed information about student performance will be available to parents as noted below. Parents will be able to view test items, student responses, and various resources that include a recommended reading list customized to the child’s reading level.

For the convenience of PfISD parents, we have established a single sign-on feature in Skyward's Family Access. Detailed instructions for using Skyward's Family Access are available here: (English, Spanish, Vietnamese)

If a child does not yet have a Unique Access Code, there is no link in Skyward's Family Access. This is common for students who have tested in PfISD for the first time in the past few months. If this is the case, please check back for a link a few days after the dates noted below. It will take several days to process reports and get these Unique Access Codes added to our records.

The campus your child most recently attended can provide further guidance for accessing state assessment results. You can also contact the campus to request a paper copy of state assessment results.

More information is available here.

Pflugerville ISD and Aramark Food Services are proud to offer open community lunch to children this summer through the USDA summer meals program. Summer is an exciting time for children to enjoy playtime with friends, a week at camp, a family vacation, or time at the pool. However, for many children who receive free and reduced-price meals at school, summer can mean hunger. Just as learning doesn’t end when school lets out, neither does a child’s need for good nutrition.

This summer, Aramark Food Services will be providing free lunch meals to children at select Pflugerville ISD campuses. Any child under age 18 may come and eat and kids do not need to register (or be registered in a summer school program) or show proof of age, income, or residence to do so. Visitors are asked to sign in at each school’s front office or Extended Day Program check-in desk for security reasons.

The P-TECH Pfuture Teachers Academy students designed and facilitated an event for rising

9th grade students interested in careers in education and training.

Participating middle school students rotated through six booths showcasing projects from the Weiss HS Texas Association of Future Educators (TAFE) student organization, experienced “a day in the life” of a teaching intern, had a Q&A session with current P-TECH students, and a fun photo booth.

There were student-led presentations on how to succeed in high school, a panel discussion with

four educators from PfISD and a “professional or not” fashion show.

He is the best teacher and my kids really like him and his directing. He is very fun to work with and without his efforts Moana show would not be a big success.

Marian Stukey of Rowe Lane (via: Srini and Anjali( Aditi’s Parents))
Ms Stukey is the best( in my kid’s own words). She is the best choreographer and without her efforts the Moana Jr show would not have been this successful. Thanks for all your efforts Ms Stukey. Keep up the good work.

Marian Stukey of Rowe Lane Elementary (via: Hector Torres)
Wow, what an amazing person!, she worked closely with Bradley Bennett to produce Moana Jr and what amazing hit that was! All the hard work she put into the show came out in full force. The show was amazing, a real tear jerker and pulled on heart strings hard and it could not have been as great as it was without her. Big Kudos to her for all her efforts!

Bradley Bennett of Rowe Lane Elementary (via: Hector Torres)
I will forever treasure the memories that I have of my daughter in her leading role and theatrical debut of Moana Jr. The show was so amazing thanks to Mr Bennett and his team. It was such an amazing experience and its all thanks to Mr Bennett and team. He did an amazing job of pulling it all together. The proof is in the joyful tears from adults and kids after the last show on Saturday evening on May 11.

Words cannot describe what an amazing individual Mr Bennett is for not only putting this show together but by also being an amazing example of what a great teacher and leader should be, he is worth his weight in gold.

Thank you so much Mr Bennett and Mrs Stuckey for all your hard work and dedication to our students while working on this year’s Moana Jr performances. The shows were amazing!

We are incredibly thankful to have had Mrs. Wright as our sons teacher.

With his charismatic personality and boundless energy, Mr. Redman brings an unparalleled enthusiasm to his classroom every single day. His genuine love for working with children shines through in everything he does, creating an environment where students feel valued, inspired, and eager to learn.

Mr. Redman's teaching style goes far beyond the conventional. He doesn't just teach; he nurtures, encourages, and invests deeply in each of his students. His dedication to their growth and well-being is evident in the strong, supportive relationships he builds. It's no wonder that parents eagerly request to have their children in his class, knowing that under his guidance, their kids will thrive both academically and personally.

Priscella Escobedo of Rowe Lane Elementary- Pegasus Pre K (via: Emily Huval)
My child entered the Pegasus program in the middle of the year and has severe separation anxiety and speech delays. He is now able to actually communicate with us, and as a family we all feel so much more connected! It’s been noticing even in just 3 months. Often in the mornings he says “ Staying at school is hard,” but when I pick him up - he always has something sweet to say about ‘Teacher’ and I know she and the ladies in Pegasus have been doing fantastic with him. Priscella is always great on communication with us as well, answering emails and questions. Thank you for all you do!

Mrs Whybrew of Mott elementary (via: Sushma Pullela)
Mott Elementary has some of the best teachers we’ve ever seen, and Mrs Whybrew is the best!

She genuinely cares deeply about her kids and shares a wonderful connection with everyone, it shows in all the love and care she bestows on our kids. I have seen kids blossom into their best selves after spending a few weeks with Mrs Whybrew. She’s really fun, sweet and energetic, kind of a like a kid herself (which might explain why she’s everyone’s favorite!)

We love you Mrs Whybrew!

She challenges the kids to rise to their best abilities while also encouraging and helping them to have faith in themselves! She had made such a difference this year!

Kimberly Thorngate of Mott Elementary Art Teacher (via: Kimberly Thorngate)
My son has NEVER liked or enjoyed art class, not until Miss. Lindquist became the new art teacher. He now brings his art home, loves to try his learned techniques at home, is proud of his work and he tells me all of the time how much he really likes her. He said she makes art fun and she's always so kind. This all speaks volumes that she loves what she does and the students she teaches to. Thank you from one artist to another...you rock Miss Lindquist!
