Parents,

Be on the lookout for an email from Kids Teaching Kids that links to the final assessment, required to complete your child’s participation in the 21-Day Challenge. It will be sent to the same email address used to sign-up your child for the challenge. The email will be sent on Monday, November 3rd and must be completed by November 10th. The survey determines if your child will be counted as an official participant, so please take a minute to complete! If you have any questions, please email me at Massav@lisd.net.

Thanks so much for supporting our school and helping us to develop healthy snack habits. Prairie Trail had the highest percentage of participants in LISD!

Need to add money to your child's lunch account? RevTrack Link

Menus for November coming soon:

• Breakfast Menu
• Lunch Menu

If you would like to donate to the Angel account, please see the link below. This goes to help those who might need a little extra help.

Do you have some special visitors who want to have lunch at PTE with a student and the parent/guardian won't be coming with them?

We can help you make that happen. You just need to fill out THIS FORM using an email that is listed for a parent/guardian of the student in Skyward. If you could fill out the form before 9:00 am the day they plan to come to lunch, we can make that happen.

The visitor will still need to bring their ID and check in through the office.

If the parent/guardian will be coming to lunch with the special visitors, there is no need to fill out the form. You being with them is sufficient.
Let us know if you have questions.

Thanks,

PTE Office Staff

Lewisville ISD will take over transportation operations for the district for the 2025-26 school year. Check out the video below for details on what to expect from LISD's transportation services this school year.

Visit LISD.net/transportation for details, including the Here Comes the Bus app and bus locator.

If you have any question or issues regarding buses, please remember to call 469-713-5983. If you have a child that rides the bus, I highly recommend that you put this number in your contacts.

There is also a video on the above website with more important information.

If students ride the bus home and are undeliverable due to not having an updated address in Skyward, the driver will return the student to the elementary campus as to not delay their high school routes. If you have not already updated your information in Skyward, please do so ASAP! Check that you address is updated in Skyward so that your children can be assigned to the correct bus. 🚌
