We want to emphasize the importance of regular attendance and punctuality in your child's academic success. Consistent classroom participation is crucial for understanding concepts and building strong relationships with peers.

Please make every effort to ensure your child arrives at school on time each day. Tardiness can also disrupt the learning environment.

Additionally, we encourage you to foster a love of reading at home. Reading is a fundamental skill that opens doors to learning, imagination, and personal growth.

We want to thank all of our parents that came to our last Principal's Coffee. We will be having our next Principal's Coffee tomorrow at 5pm. We also want to thank our amazing PTO for all of the hard work that they have been doing! We had a great Movie Night, and we are even more excited for this month's Fall Festival. We hope to see all of our parents & families participate! Thank you for your continued support in helping your child achieve their full potential.

Our doors open at 7:05am

Please arrive on time (preferably before 7:30am) every day for your student to join their class and begin their day.

ATTENDANCE MATTERS ALL DAY, EVERYDAY

Regular and punctual school attendance is essential for school success. Attendance increases student achievement and improves the quality of their educational experience. It prepares them for college, good careers, and successful adulthood. Texas Compulsory Attendance Law requires students to attend school regularly, unless otherwise exempted by law. It is the responsibility of the parent and student to cooperate and communicate with the school on all attendance matters.

Our registrar will be sending out Perfect Attendance Certificates for all students that had perfect attendance in the 9 weeks. There will also be little gifts. Parents, please make sure your students are coming to school everyday!

The district will take official attendance every day at: Elementary School Campuses: 9:30 a.m.

A parent must provide an explanation for any absence upon the student’s arrival or return to school. The student must submit a note signed by the parent or from an entity included in the exemptions under the compulsory attendance laws. The campus may accept a phone call from the parent but reserves the right to require a written note. The campus will document in its attendance records whether the absence is excused or unexcused.

• Note: The district is not required to excuse any absence, even if the parent provides a note explaining the absence, unless the absence is an exemption under compulsory attendance laws.

Arrival:

Our doors open at 7:05am.

Our tardy bell rings at 7:30am

• If arriving after 7:35, parents are required to sign their students in the front office.

Dismissal Procedures:

School dismissal is at 2:50pm.

Car Riders : Parents/Guardians of Car Riders will need a “car rider tag” visible in the front windshield of the car. Please contact your student's teacher if you need one. To ensure the safety of our students, if someone without a tag tries to pick up a student they will be asked to park in visitor parking and report to the office to check out the student with a valid Identification. If your student is a car rider- you have to pick up in the car rider line. No exceptions. Please stay in your vehicle while waiting for your student in the car loop. Thank you for understanding.

Parent Walk-Ups: Students will be on the blue picnic tables in the front of the school. To help ensure the safety of our students, we will not release students in the car rider area to parent walk-ups. Please have an ID ready to show teachers and staff before your student is released to go home.

Please contact the office prior to 2:00pm if you need to change your child’s method of going home. No changes will be made after 2:00 pm to ensure safety of our students. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Doctors Appointments: If your students appointment will be in the afternoon, please pick up your student before 2pm. We will contact the teacher to send your student to the office when you arrive.

We train our staff and students in the Standard Response Protocols (SRP); Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, Shelter, and Hold. These five simple procedures give our staff and students the tools they need to properly initiate emergency response actions for any emergency that may occur on a campus.

These SRP's are practiced regularly each school year at all campuses in the form of drills. State law actually dictates that number of times each semester each drill has to be practiced. In addition to the SRP Drills, we also have Fire Drills, Severe Weather Drills, Evacuation Drills. All drills are reported by each of the campus administrators to the Pflugerville Fire Department and the PfISD Office of Safety and Emergency Management within 48 hours of the drill.

Each of our SRP's are listed below along with a brief description of the protocol. You can click on the icon of each SRP for more detailed information on each protocol.

PfISD provides families and community with Year at a Glance curriculum documents. Year-at-a-glance documents provide an overview of the course content. They include the scope and sequence for the course, the unit titles for each unit, and the important concepts/skills for each unit.

Thank you for your willingness to give your time and talent to serve as a volunteer in our schools. Your personal commitment provides our students with a valuable role model of responsible citizenship and impacts student achievement in a positive way, whether directly or indirectly.

National research shows that it is important for our youth to have at least three non-parent adults whom they can trust. With your help, our young people can overcome adversity, succeed in school, and become community leaders.

Volunteers are a much-appreciated and highly respected group of people who make up a very important part of our educational team. The educators and staff have witnessed firsthand the magic of volunteer partnerships between our community and its schools. Volunteers can read to students, tutor in a particular subject area, work in the library, or assist with special events. There is almost no end to opportunities as a volunteer.

Whether you serve as a parent, grandparent, business representative, or community member, your participation in all volunteer endeavors is essential in developing our greatest asset - our youth. We salute you, not only for your interest but for your action! We hope your experience as a volunteer will be rewarding and that your life will be richer for the time you spend with our children.

You can support your child’s reading by making literacy activities part of your daily routine. Reading together, playing word games, and talking about stories help build reading skills and make learning fun. Encouraging your child to read in both your home language and another language can boost their confidence and literacy development.
