Moving?
From the Registrar
If your child is currently enrolled at Powell, you do not need to register them for the 2019-2020 school year. They will automatically be enrolled in their next grade and there is no need to re-register for the bus they are currently taking.
Please make sure you do reply to the online email questionnaire which will be emailed to you before school starts on August 14th. This questionnaire is the only way we can have current records regarding contacts and health information which is vital to your child's enrollment.
Reminder from Nurse Melissa
All medications (including daily medications, Epi Pens, inhalers, and as needed medications) must be picked up by a parent or guardian prior to dismissal (12:10 PM) on Thursday, May 30. Any medications not picked up will be destroyed per district policy. We are not allowed to store medications in the clinic over the summer.
School Supply Information
School Supplies for next year are now available. Follow this link for grade level lists and purchasing information. Supplies will be delivered to Powell. You will not be charged for shipping. The last day to order is June 16th.

GIRLS ON THE RUN For the Fall
GOTR is a program that inspires girls to recognize their inner strength and celebrate what makes them one of a kind! Next fall Powell Elementary will once again be a site for Girls on the Run (GOTR). During this 10-week program, the girls will develop essential skills to help them establish lifetime appreciation for health and fitness. The girls will positively impact their community through a service project and physically and emotionally prepare for a celebratory 5K event! It will be open to girls in 3rd and 4th grade.
We have several teachers that will be coaches but we are also looking for some parent coaches to help out with the program. If you would like to help coach you will need to: commit to the 10 week program, be able to meet 1-2 days/week, go through GOTR coach's training, and be CPR certified by the American Red Cross.
The coach’s training will be on either June 6th, July 31st, August 3rd, August 13th or August 24th from 9-2 at GOTR headquarters or at Powell on August 8th from 4-9.
If you are interested in helping out with this program please contact Pam Owens by email at powens@conroeisd.net.
Thanks so much for considering helping out with this AWESOME program!
