Annual Forms for the 2026-2027 School Year are now open. These forms are required for all students each year.

Please complete the two forms through your Skyward Parent Portal. Be sure to log in using the Parent Portal, not the Student Portal. You can reach the portal by clicking “here” at the link below.

Click to complete Annual Forms: www.pfisd.net/skyward

Please remember the following:

• Complete all forms as soon as possible to ensure a smooth start to the school year. Once you complete your students’ forms, you will no longer receive this message.

• The forms are available for the parent/guardian listed as Parent 1 in Skyward. If you do not see the forms, please check with other parents/guardians.

• If you move over the summer, you must contact your home campus regarding your change of address. If your address change results in an attendance zone change, you must complete the online forms for the new campus. Please submit an updated proof of residency document to the new campus. New online forms will be available once the address is up-to-date in Skyward.

If you need a Skyward Family Access account or have additional questions, email Skyward support at parentportal@pfisd.net or your campus registrar. In the email to the parent portal, include your name, your student’s name, and your student’s school.

The Texas School Safety Center and WestEd are inviting parents and guardians to participate in a brief statewide survey about safe firearms storage in Texas.

The information gathered will help improve future firearm safety resources for schools and families. This project is funded by the National Institute of Justice.

If you are a parent or guardian, please consider sharing your perspective by completing the survey. Your feedback is valuable and greatly appreciated.
