Student Recognition Guidelines

Student Recognition at School Board Meetings
 
The Community Relations Dept. has developed guidelines that will help staff understand the qualifications for nominating students for Board recognition. The District realizes the importance of recognizing individuals for their accomplishments. Since many students earn recognition for their efforts, it is virtually impossible to honor all awards at the School Board meetings.
 
Student Recognition Guidelines

  • Students earning a first, second, or third place at a state competition are eligible for recognition.
    • National competitions qualifying through a point system without a qualifying state event require a student to place first, second, or third at the national-level event to be eligible for recognition by the School Board.
  • The campus teacher, coach, sponsor, principal, or a district-level coordinator must initiate the request for student recognition by completing the correct request form. All requests must be made at least 14 days in advance of the upcoming school board meeting. School Board meetings are held on the *third Thursday of each month.
  • Complete the Student Recognition Request form and email additional information to Clara Espinosa at Clara.Espinosa@pfisd.net.
  • An invitation letter for each recognized student will be sent to the campus for distribution. The letter will include RSVP instructions for students and/or parents regarding attendance plans. Notification of attendance is vital to determine who will be announced and recognized at the meeting.

 *Meeting dates are subject to change. Please check the school board meeting calendar.
