Tardy Policy
Please note: many parents are leaving their house later each morning and the traffic is heavier the closer it is to 7:35. If you plan to arrive around 7:15, it will be much easier to drop your child off at school.
No Cell Phone Use in the Car Line or Parking Lot
Seeking Corporate Sponsors
If you have questions, please contact Haley Mokry at haley.mokry@pfisd.net
Grandparents Day at Mott - September 10 - Join us for lunch!
- Your child should have brought home a Grandparent's Day flyer. If not, please check with your child's teacher. If you are going to be purchasing a lunch from the cafeteria, please return the flyer with your choices by Wednesday of next week. That is so helpful to our cafeteria manager so that she can be sure to order enough food.
- You also have the option to bring outside food with you for lunch.
- Class lunch times can be found at the following link: http://www.pfisd.net/domain/1760
