Delco Dolphin Parent News January

Thank you for your continued support to our school community. Wishing you and your family a safe and restful break! See you and your student back to school on January 7th.

To Our Wonderful Parents,

As the new year begins, we want to express our sincere gratitude for your unwavering support in your child's education. We understand that raising a child is a challenging yet rewarding journey, and we appreciate your partnership in fostering their growth and success.

The Importance of Attendance:

Regular school attendance is crucial for academic achievement. Every day in class provides valuable learning opportunities that cannot be replicated at home. Missing even a few days can significantly impact a child's understanding of key concepts and their ability to keep pace with their peers. We kindly request that you make every effort to ensure your child attends school regularly.

The Power of Reading:

Reading is fundamental to a child's overall development. It expands their vocabulary, improves their comprehension, and sparks their imagination. We encourage you to make reading a daily habit at home. Spend time reading together, visit the library, and create a cozy reading nook to inspire a love of books.

We are here to support you:

We understand that challenges may arise. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any concerns or require any assistance. We are here to work together to ensure your child's success.

Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to a successful and rewarding school year!

• Shaping the 2025-2026 Academic Calendar: Your Voice Matters

Pflugerville ISD is committed to creating an academic calendar that reflects the diverse needs of our students, families, and staff. As we plan for the 2025-2026 school year, we invite our students, families, and staff to play an active role in shaping a calendar that supports high-quality instruction, respects family schedules, and honors important holidays while prioritizing professional development for our educators.
The proposed calendar options were thoughtfully crafted by the District Academic Advisory Council (DAAC), a collaborative group of parents, staff, and community members dedicated to ensuring the academic calendar aligns with our district's goals and values. Their work aims to balance instructional time, teacher planning needs, and the unique dynamics of our community.
This year, the DAAC has developed two calendar options for your consideration: Draft 1 and Draft 2. To help you make an informed choice, we have also included a Side-by-Side Comparison of the two drafts.

• Draft 1

• Draft 2

• Side-by-Side Comparison
  We encourage you to review the drafts and share your thoughts. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us finalize a calendar that works for everyone.
  How to Provide Feedback:
  After reviewing the options, please take a moment to complete our survey and make your voice heard. The survey will remain open until January 16, 2025, ensuring ample time for community input.
  Complete the Survey Here
  We look forward to hearing from you and thank you for partnering with us in this important decision-making process.
  Together, we can create a calendar that supports academic success and strengthens our community.
