If you'd like to come watch or join your child in their fun run, it will be taking place on Thursday during their Specials time (schedule below). You'll need to bring an ID, check in at the front office and then head outside to the track behind the school. Please do not go through the building. You'll need to walk around the front of the building and outside to the back playground area.

As always, please reach out to me with any questions or concerns at jennifer.macallister@pfisd.net.

Please make sure your child is here on STAAR testing days. Please avoid scheduling appointments on these days. If your child will be out on the dates below, contact an administrator or the teacher and let them know.

STAAR Testing Days:

• Science 5th Grade - April 17th
• Math 4th & 5th Grade - April 30th
• Math 3rd Grade - May 1st

Please make sure to have your child check the lost and found. These items have been collected just in the last two weeks since Spring Break! You're welcome to come check it out as well.

Cell phones and smartwatches are not essential to students learning in classrooms. Therefore they are not needed at school. These devices have become huge distractions in our building. Please remind your child to adhere to the following:

• Cell phones and smartwatches may be used outside of the building before school starts.
• Cell phones and smartwatches MAY NOT be used at any time while in the building unless an adult has specifically said it is ok.
• Cell phones and smartwatches should be turned OFF and placed in the child's backpack once they enter the building. These devices should remain off until they leave school at the end of the day.

If your child chooses to use a cell phone or smartwatch while in the building without permission, the following will occur:

1. 1st time the device is confiscated by a staff member, an adult from the student's Skyward account will have to come pick it up in the front office.
2. Every additional time that the device is confiscated by a staff member, an adult from the student's Skyward account will have to come pick it up in the front office and pay $15.

If you're wanting to volunteer for a field trip, in the classroom or maybe help out on Field Day, make sure to get your volunteer application completed.

You must fill out a new application every year.

• Information about being a volunteer in PfISD
• Link to the volunteer application

Families must reapply each school year. It is very important to complete this application even if you don't think your child will qualify.

Part of the funding for our campus is determined from the results of the submitted applications. Click the link below to complete the application. Call our front office at 512-594-4800 if you need any assistance. All students will receive free breakfast this year.
