Pre- Event Wristband Sales - Deadline is Monday, April 29
Wristbands let your kids experience all carnival attractions (excluding the purchase of food) without having to worry about individual tickets. Save yourself a few dollars by purchasing wristbands now. Students received an order form from their teachers, but you can also purchase online. Wristbands purchased now will be available for pick up at the event.
Silent Auction Support
For the first time, PTO will be hosting a silent auction at the carnival! It's a great time to shop for good cause. Please consider donating a small item to your grade level's silent auction themed basket. Connect with your child's teacher to learn more about your grade level's theme or to volunteer to help organize for your child's grade level. We still need volunteers to organize baskets for kinder, 2nd, 4th, and 5th grades. To learn more, email mottpto@gmail.com
BrightBytes Technology Survey
Pflugerville ISD is partnering with BrightBytes, an educational research organization, to learn more about our technology use for student learning. The district's goal is to gather information on technology access and skills, and on your school's technology environment, to further understand the connection between technology use and student achievement.
