From the Principal
Mott Owl Families,
In honor of Education Go Get It Week, please take some time to talk with your child about what choices they have after high school graduation. Also, talk to them about how the choices they make now impacts what they can do in the future. I have two daughters. One went to barber college and the other went to a standard university. Both are successful in their careers, and are financially independent though they took different paths. Both of them love what they do. That's the goal!
Stay safe and well,
Tammy Rebecek

Principal's Reading Challenge
Has your child told you about the Principal's Reading Challenge? We have been talking about it on the announcements every morning. I talked to them about making sure they had a plan for reading over the long weekend. There were over 500 checkouts from the library on Friday! I think they took me seriously! 😊
Lunch
A few reminders if you come to eat lunch with your child.
- If you have never signed into Mott for lunch or to volunteer we will need to scan your Drivers License.
- Try and get here five to ten minutes before your students scheduled lunch time. That gives you enough time to sign in, walk down to the cafeteria and find a seat.
- You are only allowed to eat with your child (No friends, cousins, neighbors)
- We cannot pull students out of class to eat at the same time as their siblings. We do not want students to miss important instructional minutes. Please wait until your other student's lunch time to enjoy eating with them as well.

2022-2023 School Enrollment
Enrollment for students new to Mott for the 2022-2023 school year has begun. All of the information needed, including the forms that must be completed can be found at this link: https://www.pfisd.net/domain/232 Existing Pre-K students will need to re-enroll for kindergarten and provide one proof of residency and an undated shot record. If your child is a current K-5 student at Mott, you do not need to re-enroll.
Enrolling new students before the end of the school year is very important, because we base staffing numbers on enrollment numbers. If we need more teachers, we would want to know that now instead of knowing that in August. Please pass this information along to all your new neighbors!
Please contact our registrar, Mr. Ray, for any enrollment questions. steven.ray@pfisd.net or 512-594-4738
