A Note From Mrs. Garrison
Fourth Grade Writing STAAR is Tuesday. Please make sure your fourth grader gets plenty of sleep on Monday night and a good breakfast on Tuesday! We will have a closed campus on Tuesday to ensure the optimal testing environment.
We hope to see everyone at the Powell Carnival on Saturday, April 13! It will be a fun day supporting our school! You still have a few days to order Carnival Ticket Combination Packs through the PTO website!

Parents of Incoming Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Students:
If you have an incoming PreK or Kindergartener for the 2019-2020 school year, online enrollment will begin on Monday, April 15th. You may apply online at the Powell homepage (Powell.ConroeISD.net) under “19-20 New Student Registration.” This link will give more details and list all documents necessary to complete enrollment in person. Children must be 4 years of age by September 1, 2019, and meet eligibility requirements to apply for PreK. Children must be 5 years of age by September 1, 2019, to apply for Kindergarten.
On Thursday, April 25th, from 4:30-6:00pm, we will have our “PreK and Kindergarten Early Registration Night” where you can finish your enrollment by bringing all necessary documents, meet the administrators, counselor, and Kindergarten teachers, tour the school, and get information from the PTO including school supply packs and spirit wear.
If you are unable to make the April 25th event, you can still complete registration during regular school hours after April 25th, until the last day of school, May 31st. Registration will then close for the summer break and re-open the last week of July.
