Field Trip is Next Week on February 15th!

Field Trip Information - February 15th!


This year we will be going to Interskate Roller Rink in Lewisville (off 121). The field trip will be on February 15th. Our fabulous PTA is covering the cost of the field trip, but cost for transportation is still required. Each student will have to pay $4 to cover their portion of the cost for the buses. Please try to send exact change if sending cash.


Permission slips have already been sent home, if you need another copy, please let your teacher know. Permission slips will include this information and directions on how to provide payment in the form of cash or check. If providing a check, please make it payable to Prestwick Elementary.


We are looking forward to this STEM experience. During their event, students will learn about the engineering that goes into roller skates. They will also have the opportunity to enjoy roller skating. They will also be provided lunch! That means there will be no need for a sack lunch unless your child does not want/is not able to eat cheese pizza. Each child will be served two slices of pizza.


Please let us know if you have any questions!

Students should wear their 2nd Grade Shirt for the Field Trip! Students should wear their 2nd Grade Shirt for the Field Trip!

Field Trip - Chaperones

If you are a chaperone, please make sure you have completed the volunteer background check on the Little Elm website.
Since the holidays, we've noticed more students having smart watches. Students should not be using them to message anyone or play games during school hours. In the case where they need to reach you during school, we will make sure you are contacted through the office or via email. If you need to reach them, please call the office or email your student's teacher. Thank you for your help on this!

Does your student want to log in to Classlink at home?

  • Go to: https://launchpad.classlink.com/leisd
  • Students use the same login they have at school.
  • The username is their lunch number (an 8 digit number 2008XXXX)
  • Their password is a 3 letter word with a capital letter (ask them if they know it), followed by a period and then their birthdate (i.e. One.0101)
