First, a big THANK YOU! We sold over 400 tickets for In-N-Out! Woo HOO!
There was a change in the time that In-N-Out will be serving and we wanted to let you know so you could plan ahead.
They will be serving from 5:30-7:00 pm. We will have the cafeteria open for families to eat before they go to STEAM Night which starts at 6:00-7:30 pm.

• In-N-Out - 5:30-7:00 pm
• STEAM Night - 6:00-7:30 pm

Other info:
*Pre-ordered tickets will be picked up at PTE the night of the event. We will have a Will Call table for ticket pick up.
*Eat in the cafeteria - Don't forget to clean up after yourself :)
*Math Activities around the library in the hallways
*Science Activities in the gym

*Art Activities in the Art room

🍔 In-N-Out Reminder:
The In-N-Out Truck will be on campus that evening! Families who pre-ordered can pick up their tickets starting at 5:30 PM, and the cafeteria will be open so you can enjoy your meal before STEAM Night kicks off at 6:00 PM. As a reminder, pre-orders are now closed, and tickets will not be available for purchase at the event.

We can’t wait to see our Prairie Trail families for a night of learning, fun, and community! ❤️🤍🖤

Hey Prairie Trail Texans! We’re bringing back a favorite — $1 Pajama Day is happening on Friday, January 23rd! 💤

Just a quick reminder to still wear proper footwear (no slippers, please). 👟

Thank you for helping us support our 5th graders while adding a little extra fun and coziness to the school day! ❤️🖤🤠

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

Menus for January:

• Breakfast Menu
• Lunch Menu

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
