Family Access to Spring 2026 TELPAS and STAAR Results
We are approaching the release of student results for TELPAS and STAAR assessment.
Emergent bilingual students who participated in TELPAS Kindergarten-5th grade will have access to their results on June 11, 2026.
Students in grades 3-5 who participated in STAAR will have access to their results beginning June 16, 2026.
For the convenience of PfISD families, we have established a single sign-on feature in Skywardβs Family Access. Detailed instructions for using Skywardβs Family Access are available here: (English, Spanish, Vietnamese), or PfISD Studentβs Results. If your childβs results do not appear immediately, please know results are delivered on a rolling basis and may not appear until the next day.
The campus will be closed from June 15th until July 6th. Any voice mails left on our main phone number, 512 594-5100, may go unanswered for several days during this time.

π΅ Narwhal-Mart for Students' Narwhal Bucks
Redemption time is 25 minutes from 7:05 to 7:30am in our Gymnasium on August 28th
Narwhal Bucks are distributed to acknowledge students for making good choices, following expectations, and excelling at school. We have created a redemption cart and stocked it with various items, but we will need your help with continually stocking the store with kid-favorite items. Students will have one opportunity per month to redeem the bucks that they earn.
Another way to support our Narwhal-Mart is to donate funds or purchase more inventory for our store items. To make a donation, please call our front office staff to arrange payment. Your money is just as valuable to us as your time!
π³ Campus Food Services
Breakfast (free for all students every day)
Regardless of household income, all students can arrive early and eat a free breakfast in our cafeteria starting at 7:05am. Students who arrive after 7:20am will receive a cold breakfast that they can take with them and eat in their classrooms; this includes students who arrive after the 7:35am tardy bell and before 10:00am.

π± Free & Reduced Price Meals
Click on the image to apply for free and reduced price meals.
Submitting your application for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides an opportunity for children to eat nutritional meals for free or a reduced price if the family qualifies. If you qualified last year, your status has expired unless you apply again for this school year. If you have never attempted an application, please consider doing so even if you suspect you may not qualify. >>Directions for application process<<
π Birthday Celebrations
You may send cupcakes, goodie-bag, or invitations.
We do not allow birthday parties with themed decorations, balloons, activities, etc. Students can accept goodie bags and/or food items in recognition of a birthday. Birthday invitations also may be distributed by a student as long as there is an invitation for every child (district policy) in the homeroom class. Parents are prohibited from sending celebratory items (i.e. large balloons) that would distract from instructional practices.
