Second, a huge shout out to our PTO, including all our parents who donated generously and filled the lounge with sweet treats for our Cele Staff. Thank you for the thoughtful and bountiful tokens of appreciation for these tireless Colts.

We have a bit of a short run to the end of the semester, so we will be encouraging students to join their teachers for tutorials, stay diligent with checking Skyward, and turning in their work representing their best effort on time.

Let's make it a GREAT week, Colts!

PfISD is seeking parent, student, and community member testimonials to be shared highlighting some of the great experiences at our campuses. Testimonials may be shared with the greater Cele and PfISD community. We've created a Google form you can use to get started.

Please help us spread the word regarding a Donors Choose project to help us acquire new instructional materials for our Introduction to Engineering course. Ms. Ferrara attended training on using Hummingbird devices this summer and would like to expand on her current collection to reach more students. Here is the Donors Choose link.

Parents, did you know you have access to the announcements our students see during Advisory each week? This is yet another way to stay connected with your child's learning during the school day. In addition to participating in tutorials, honing math and reading skills, having protected, self-selected reading time, and a weekly guidance lesson, our Colts are prompted to check their grades through Skyward. Visit https://cms.pfisd.net/about-us to explore and learn more.

Families, if you will be picking up a student from school after 3:20 pm, which is 15 minutes before school is dismissed, we kindly ask that you call ahead to the front office at 512-594-3000. This will assist us in having students called from class at this busy time of day. Thank you!

We are fortunate to have so many willing and generous members of our community who are willing to volunteer. Please reference the flyer for information on how to apply to be a volunteer, then use the QR code or this link to begin your application.

We have had some instances this year when our Accessible Parking spaces were unavailable to our families who need them. While these parking spaces may be convenient to use especially when parking is limited, they are a necessity for some families and guests and must not be used for any amount of time without a legitimate need and properly displayed credentials on the vehicle. Thank you for everyone's cooperation.

Families,

We encourage you to complete an Application for Free or Reduced-Price lunch. If you qualified last year, you must apply again this year to remain eligible. Read more about the benefits of completing an F&R lunch application.
