Tonight Hendrickson Baseball will be hosting Little League Night vs. the Weiss Wolves at 7:00PM. Any player that comes to the game IN UNIFORM will be allowed FREE entry into the game.

Our 3rd 9 weeks awards assembly will be held on April 8. You will know if your child is getting an award because their teacher will reach out to you or you will see that they made all A's on their report card. 2nd-5th grade report cards will be available in the Skyward Portfolio on March 30.

Students who receive an award will get a dog tag. If your child previously received a dog tag, feel free to have them wear them to school for the awards assembly. That way they can display their previous achievements and add another dog tag to the chain if they get another one!

Award times are listed below:

7:50-8:10 -- 5th grade

8:15-8:35 -- 4th grade

8:40-9:00 -- 3rd grade

9:05-9:25 -- 2nd grade

9:30-9:45 -- 1st grade

9:50-10:05 -- Kindergarten

See below for updates from our school counselor, Ms. Vandeloock. Please email her at susan.vandeloock@pfisd.net if you have any questions or want to opt your child out of classroom guidance lessons.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Thank you to those who attended our recent Community Meetings before Spring Break. We appreciate your time, engagement, and thoughtful input.

If you were unable to attend, the district has posted presentation videos in multiple languages, along with additional information, on the District Optimization webpage: https://www.pfisd.net/about-us/district-optimization. You will also find an FAQ on the webpage that is regularly updated based on community questions and feedback.

Thank you to everyone who has already shared feedback on the scenarios. If you have not yet participated, we encourage you to take a few minutes to complete the survey and share your thoughts on all scenarios—not just those that may directly impact your family: https://tejoin.com/participate/336499412.

Your feedback is essential as we work toward a district-wide solution to a district-wide challenge.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Get ready for an evening of Pfamily Pfun and fitness at the Pfamily Pfitness Pfest!

Join us on April 10 from 6–8 p.m. at The Pfield for a free, family-friendly event packed with exciting activities for all ages—including adults.

Bring your friends, bring your family, and enjoy a fun night filled with games, movement, and community celebration. Whether you’re looking to get active, try something new, or just enjoy time together outdoors, there will be something for everyone.

Admission is free, so come out, get moving, and be part of the Pfamily!

Did you know? If your child is a current 4th or 5th grader who took the STAAR test last year, you can login to the Parent Portal to see how they answered the questions on the STAAR test last year! You can even see exactly what your child wrote on their writing sample (also known as their Extended Constructed Response or ECR).

Login to the Skyward Parent Portal, click the Texas Assessments tile, then the link that says Texas Assessment Results Website. If that doesn't work for you, you can also login here: https://tx-familyportal.cambiumast.com/#/ I am happy to provide you with your child's Unique Access Code if you need it and can't see it in Skyward!
