Clear Bag Policy
As an effort to improve safety and security, PfISD enforces a clear bag policy at all events held at the Pfield. These include varsity football games, band marching contests, and other highly attended events.

School Safety Zones
School zones are put in place to ensure children’s safety in and around schools. While traveling in school zones, reduce vehicle speed, expect increased traffic, be on the lookout for buses and high concentrations of pedestrians, obey crossing guards, traffic and police officers. Nothing is more precious than the life of a child. Slow down, pay attention, and ensure students’ safety as they travel to and from school.

Student Code of Conduct
Students should be mindful of their online and offline behavior, and how it can affect themselves and others – Review the Pflugerville ISD Student Code of Conduct. “David’s Law information,” or” Senate Bill 179 makes it a Class A misdemeanor and allows a temporary injunction against social media accounts used to electronically harass or cyberbully someone under age 18 through text message, social media, websites, or other means with the intent of causing them to commit suicide or harm themselves.

Absences add up, and lost time in the classroom is a lost opportunity to learn. Please schedule appointments late in the day and vacations or family trips during District holidays. Having your student in school as frequently as possible positively impacts your student’s academic and social performance, as well as resources made available to the District. Refer to the District’s Academic Calendar.

Bus Service
Pflugerville ISD provides free bus service for students who live more than two miles from their assigned school and for students who live within two miles but along a route defined as “hazardous” to walkers or bike riders. Use the School & Bus Route Locator to find bus routes.
