Student Placement for 2023/24
It's time for us to work on placing students into classes for the 2023/24 school year. Each year Dr. English asks for input from parents that might help as we work through this process. Some parents include information such as...
"My child is doing well in class this year. Please place him with one or two students from his current class so he will have some familiar faces."
"My child is very good friends with our next door neighbor ________. They play together almost daily. It may not be a good idea to place them in the same classroom."
"My child suffers from test anxiety. Please place her in a class with a teacher who understands how to help children with this type of concern."
Below is the link to the form.
2023-2024 Student Online Registration
Registration for the 2023-2024 school year is open online. Please include the following documents.
Student birth certificate
Student Social Security Card
Parent ID
Student immunization records
Proof of residency
STAAR Testing Dates
This year, all students will take the STAAR test online. We feel confident that students are well prepared as they have been working and testing online all year.
The dates are different this year. Due to online testing, the state is allowing us to space out administrations as necessary. This means students will not be expected to take assessments two days in a row. This change is so much better for our students.
Please see the dates below for specific dates by grade level.
May 9th - 6th grade and 4th grade Math STAAR
May 10th - 5th grade and 3rd grade Math STAAR
May 9th - 11th - Math STAAR
Peet Jr High Band
6th Grade Parents,

If you are interested in volunteering or contributing to the band program as an active parent next year, you are strongly encouraged to attend this event!
Parking: Please go around the left side of the school and park in the back to enter the band hall. We will have a sign posted on the exterior door. This will also be the same location you will pick up and drop off you child at all Peet Band events next year!

Additional details:
We need volunteers to help make these days fun and successful. Please consider signing up to help. All volunteers MUST complete a "volunteer in CISD" form online. Volunteers will receive a lanyard with a badge stating that they are a "Field Day Volunteer."
If you are unable to volunteer, you are welcome to come and watch your children during the outdoor games as a spectator. Unfortunately, due to safety and security concerns, we are unable to allow spectators to come into the building.
Due to space and security, only field day volunteers, will be able to help in the gym or art rooms. The specific volunteers include parents who sign up to help with tug of war in the gym, or those helping in the art rooms.

Staff members will be parking in the front parking lot. Volunteers and spectators may park in the faculty parking lot, the church parking lot or along the street. Please be aware that children will be crossing the street to access the field at the church.
Kindergarten Graduation - Pre-Registration Form

Additionally, due to space constraints, we are limiting the number of guests to four (4) per child. If you have any special circumstances we need to be aware of, please contact us.
This form will allow you to register up to four (4) people per student. Complete this form and we will send you the number of tickets you need for the event. Each ticket will be numbered, which will be matched to the student's name. Tickets will be sent home in Tuesday folders.
Bring these tickets to the event. They will be collected at the door. If you don't bring a ticket, you will be asked to check in before entering the building.
The ceremony begins at 8:30AM. Doors open at 8:05AM, after all students have entered the building.
End of Year Event Pre-Registration
Our end of the year events are coming up. Please check the information in the calendar so you don't miss anything.
