Student Personal Item Retrieval
Teachers will be going to the school beginning the week of May 4 to place students' personal items in bags, and organize them for parent pick-up. We will need to follow social distancing rules, so with over 1,100 students, it will take some time to cycle through all of the classrooms to gather belongings. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. There will be advertised times for parents to pick up personal items and drop off books or other school materials beginning the week of May 18.

BRIGHT BYTES SURVEY
We are partnering with BrightBytes, an educational research organization, to learn more about you and your students’ technology access and use for learning.
The goal of this project is to gather data on technology access, skills, and your school’s technology environment, in order to understand the connection between technology use and student achievement.
Our data collection window is set to run from now to May 27, 2020.
There is one designed for students, and one designed for parents.
Your questionnaire links are listed below:
Your participation and support is important to us and will make the difference between having a complete understanding of our school’s technology use versus a limited one.
Meal Service and Paper Based Learning Packets
Please see this link for locations and information regarding free meals for PfISD students: Meal Service

Special Areas Menus
The Special Area Menus that are coming from me and the teachers are meant to be choices for your child. You do not have to complete all of them. Pick from any area as often as you would like. These are meant to be fun for your child and easy to accomplish at home. If you do not have all the supplies needed for a project, no worries! Just choose another item.
Art to Remember
Hi families and friends,
Our school is participating in a creative fundraiser with Art to Remember that allows you to purchase keepsake products customized with your child’s art. There are over 50 products and many are less than $15. These make great gifts and a percentage of every purchase goes right back to our school. Click on the link below and enter the online order code shown on your child’s order form or to search for your child’s artwork. Then, have fun shopping!
