WELCOME TO PORT NECHES ELEMENTARY
We are on the countdown to another AMAZING year at Port Neches Elementary! The PNE faculty and staff have been hard at work. We are focused on steadfast safety measures, getting to know each other by continuing to focus on building relationships, and exploring ways to meet the needs of every student with a laser focus on student discourse.
Our promise to you is that we will continue to hold ourselves to high expectations when it comes to communicating, building relationships, following rules and safety measures, focusing on high levels of academics, and being a KIND and productive citizen of our PNE family. In turn, we need your support when we hold our Lil’ Indians to the same!
TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION
We truly believe that two way communication is the key to our success. If you have a question or concern there is ALWAYS someone at PNE willing to help. Taking to social media to vent your concerns on a neighborhood page or district "concerns/complaint page" is not productive in fixing or addressing your concern. Moving forward, please have the same courtesy with us that you would want for your own child or yourself by going directly to the source. Facebook doesn't have the answers, but we are always happy to point you to the right person to assist you. We MUST be on the same team! You can start by ensuring all of your phone numbers, email addresses, and emergency contacts are up-to-date in Skyward.
STUDENT DROP-OFF/PICK-UP
Student drop off and pick up are in the front of the building on Llano. Do not drop off your child before 7:30 AM. There will be no adult supervision until then. Please be patient with us as we strive to get your children dismissed safely. Please pull over safely to the curb when dropping off and picking up your child. Do not drop off or pick up in the middle of the street. This slows the flow of traffic. Unfortunately, we do not have a circle drive, so students will stand on the front lawn with their homeroom teacher until you arrive for pickup at 3:30 PM. Students will only be allowed to cross the street at the crosswalks. Do not ask them to run across the street in between cars. Students are not allowed to be dismissed to Dairy Queen. We appreciate your cooperation.
STUDENT ATTENDANCE
Remind your child that school is their first and most important job!
Communicate the importance of regular school attendance to your child so they are hearing the same thing we are saying at school.
If your child is running a fever of 100 degrees or more, vomiting, or has diarrhea they need to be kept home, if they do not have any of these symptoms, please send them to school.
Avoid extended vacations that require your child to miss school. Try to line up vacations with the school’s schedule. Missing only an average of 2 days or parts of days each month negatively affects academic performance. Poor attendance can influence whether students read on grade level by the end of 4th grade.
