If your family ordered the pre-packaged school supplies at the end of the year last year, they will be distributed to your child's teacher before "Panther Premiere" (Meet the Teacher).

If you purchased your own school supplies, please bring them with you on the night of the Panther Premiere (Meet the Teacher). This allows our staff to organize the supplies before the first day of school.

The school supply list for each grade level is listed below:

Thanks to everyone who came to our summer library days! It was wonderful to see current, former, future, and new Powell Panthers! If you have books to return, there are 2 easy ways to get them back us.

*Return them to the library carts in the hallways at Panther Premiere (Meet the Teacher).

*Return them the first week of school.

Our Powell Elementary Chess Team wants you! Brand-new beginners as well as advanced players are welcome, so come check us out! This year take the plunge and join us as we laugh and train in daily mardi-gras bead chess tourneys and compete for prizes in our daily music-driven chess puzzlers and watch zany chess movies and interface and intertrain with The Knight School chess teams across the US. There has never been a party-based approach to chess like this, and our unique, kid-oriented philosophy has made us 51-0 in our history, and counting!

Our high-energy chess classes are developmentally and cleverly targeted directly for Elementary kids! Come join the fun as kids learn to love learning, learn that they are unspeakably smart, and learn how to absolutely crush their parents in chess! The Knight School is the most compelling, kid-centered chess party in America. Learn more and sign up for our school chess team at www.theknightschool.com or call and chat with Coach Justin at (325) 668-6913.

Happy Friday Panthers! Your Powell PTO is busy putting on the finishing touches to our 2023-2024 family membership drive. Please be sure to join the Powell Elementary PTO Facebook page to stay up to date on everything your PTO has coming up.

Be sure to stop by and visit our PTO booth at Panther Premier Monday, August 7th to join PTO. Joining PTO not only supports our school financially, but it keeps you in the loop on the fun things we are doing for your Panther, teachers, staff, and school.

Get a head start on the CISD background check for a smooth check-in process at Powell! (https://apps.conroeisd.net/volunteer/) The background check will allow you to enter Powell Campus during our events, volunteer opportunities, and get togethers.

The first few days of school will go by quickly as a courtesy to our teachers we are asking for a few Volunteers to help with the first 3 days of school lunch. We are asking for help from 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade parents for Kinder and 1st grade lunches. The kids will be learning a new routine and might be a little distracted if they see family there.

(You do not have to be a PTO member for this volunteer opportunity)

The incentive for joining PTO this year will be a color changing cup and straw with our Powell Panther logo on it. So you can slurp up some of your favorite drink while looking cool!

This year our Fundraising team is partnering up with Mabels Labels to help out our PTO and your Panther. Labeling items such are jackets, shoes, water bottles, and lunchboxes will ensure these items make it back to your panther and not into Lost & Found.
