From the Principal
Mott Owl Families,
We are very excited about our first family event in two years! Please read the information below about the Spring Fling carefully. We need parent volunteers to make this event even more fun for our students. The more parent/grandparent/other relative volunteers we have sign up, the more inflatables we can have at the event. Sign up early!
Stay safe and well,
Tammy Rebecek
Drop Off Zipper Rules for Morning Drop Off
You are welcome to use both lanes in the morning drop off line, just like in the afternoon. When both lanes are being utilized please remember that when the lanes merge that it is like a zipper. One car at a time from each lane alternating turns.
Thank you to our parent volunteer Mrs. Thorngate for helping during morning drop off.
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.
49 Tardies on Friday
We have noticed an increase in the number of students coming in after the 7:35 bell rings.
A traffic tip: If you are dropping your child off, try to get to the school by 7:20 a.m. at the latest. That will give you plenty of time.

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. 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
