Thank you so much! We can't wait for an awesome 25-26 school year!
We are so excited that your child is coming to Kindergarten at Pond Springs in the fall! To get to know our new Pioneers well, our Kinder teachers would like to invite you to schedule an optional Kindergarten screening appointment. These are short (15 min.) appointments where children's knowledge in letter and sound identification, number recognition, shapes and colors is assessed through conversation with our staff. There is also a parent questionnaire to complete while the children are with the teacher so we can learn more about your child. The dates/times for the pre-screening appointments are as follows:
July 28: 8:00 am-12:00 pm
July 29: 12:00 pm-4:00 pm
If you are unable to make either of these dates, please do not stress about it. We will be able to assess your child once the school year begins. To sign up for a Kindergarten screening appointment, simply click on THIS LINK and fill out the Sign Up Genius form that has been created. We have two teachers assessing in each time slot. Please take a moment when you sign up to ensure that all of the required information fields are filled out, including your child's name. We appreciate your interest in this process, and look forward to working together with you. Have a great rest of the summer!

Submit questions by September 30th.
Advocacy is at the heart of the PTA’s mission, and you represent the voice of Texas parents, students, teachers, and schools. From local campuses to the steps of the Capitol, your efforts drive meaningful change.
Even though the House and Senate will not convene for the next legislative session until January 2025, the Texas PTA Advocacy Committee and Board of Directors start preparing months in advance. We want to hear from YOU about key issues impacting public education and the well-being of children across the state.
Now is your chance to help shape the Texas PTA's legislative priorities for the 89th Session of the Texas Legislature. Please take a few moments to complete this survey by Friday, September 20, 2024. It should take less than 10 minutes of your time.
Mark your calendars for Rally Day in Austin on February 24, 2025.
