MESSAGE FROM MRS. CAMPBELL
Hello Colt Family!
What an amazing start to the 2020-2021 school year! We have loved seeing all of our students return in person and online. I am continuously in awe of how well the staff, students, and community have adjusted to our new way of learning! We know there have been some adjustments along the way, but we appreciate your patience and grace as our teachers work tirelessly to create the best learning environment for our students.
We continue to follow health guidelines set by the CDC, local and state health officials, and TEA. Our staff is doing the very best to ensure we keep our students safe and healthy. Thank you for continuing to do the daily COVID-19 screening at home and sending your student with their mask each day.
We are looking forward to an amazing school year together! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need anything.
Gratefully,
Lisa Campbell

While this year is a bit different, the PFO is a great way to be involved and support our school. Supporting our school not only means fundraising, which is important, but it also means helping support school staff with our staff appreciation efforts among other things. If you’re looking for a way to get involved, please reach out by emailing President@nhpfo.org.
