Hello families,
🐾🌟 School Newsletter Update! 🌟🐾
We had a great week, and it’s been wonderful to see all the hard work and positive energy around campus!
As we head into the upcoming week, we have our last STAAR test of the year. This is a big milestone and brings us one step closer to the finish line! We’re so proud of our students and all the effort they’ve put in—let’s finish strong!
We also have a couple of exciting events coming up for the rest of the month, so be sure to stay tuned and mark your calendars. There’s so much to look forward to as we wrap up the year together!
A big congratulations to our PAWSome Award winners—you continue to shine and make our school community proud!
And a very special congratulations to our Assistant Principal of the Year, Ms. Low! This is such a well-deserved honor, and we are grateful for the leadership, care, and dedication she brings to our school every day.

🎉 FIELD DAY IS COMING! 🎉
Our FIFTH annual Field Day is happening on Friday, May 8!!!!
This special day is filled with fun, teamwork, and so many joyful moments…it is truly my favorite day of the whole year. 💚💙
Grades 4th & 5th will be outside for Field Day stations from 9am - 11am.
PreK 3, PreK 4, and Kinder will be outside for Field Day stations from 9am - 11am.
Grades 1st, 2nd, and 3rd will be outside for Field Day stations from 12- 2pm.
To help make this day extra special for all of our students, we are asking for donations of healthy single-serving snacks, fruit, and popsicles so every child can stay fueled, hydrated, and ready to play! If you’re able to help, please sign up at tinyurl.com/DonateFieldDay and send items with your student to drop off in the gym at any time!
Our parent volunteers are the heart of Field Day, and without them, this large, school-wide event simply wouldn’t be possible! With nearly 450 Prestonwood students participating, we truly need all hands on deck. From early morning setup to running one of our play stations, there are so many fun ways to be part of the day.
✨ Important reminder: In order to keep Field Day safe, organized, and equitable for all students, this is a volunteer-only event. We are not able to accommodate spectators, so all parents and guardians who plan to attend must be signed up as an approved volunteer. Thank you so much for helping us keep this day running smoothly for everyone!

Spring Events Update
This past Saturday’s Dance was such a fun and successful event. We loved seeing our community come together and our kids having a blast!
Since events like this require tremendous planning and volunteer support to run smoothly, we’ve made the tough call not to include Wheelie Fun Night in our Spring calendar of events this year. We’re excited to share that there are still plenty of fun community events planned this Spring! We hope to see everyone at all of the upcoming PTO Spring events!
The Summer Cool program will take place at Walker Middle School Mondays-Thursdays on June 1–4, June 8–11, June 15–18, and June 22–25, 2026 from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
