These forms, which include the Student Verification and Student Health forms, are required for all students each year.

Click to complete Annual Forms: www.pfisd.net/skyward

Please remember the following:

• The forms are available for the parent/guardian listed as Parent 1 in Skyward. If you do not see the forms, please check with other parents/guardians.
• If you move over the summer, you must contact your home campus regarding your change of address. If your address change results in an attendance zone change, you must complete the online forms for the new campus. Please submit an updated proof of residency document to the new campus. New online forms will be available once the address is up-to-date in Skyward.

If you need a Skyward Family Access account or have additional questions, email Skyward support at parentportal@pfisd.net or your campus registrar. In the email to the parent portal, include your name, your student’s name, and your student’s school.

Class Schedules and Teacher Assignments

Each school has its own method for notifying students of class schedules and teacher assignments. There are generally times and dates scheduled for students and parents to go to the campus to receive information and meet teachers before classes start and for open house nights after school begins.

Dress Code

Pflugerville ISD’s student dress code supports equitable educational access, prevents disruption, minimizes safety hazards, and maintains a positive learning climate. Review the Dress Code.

Family Access

Family Access through Skyward is an online information system that allows parents/guardians and secondary students access to view student information such as attendance records, class schedules, assignments, and grades. Elementary parents/guardians can find their student’s attendance records, student ID, transportation information, and class schedule.

Lunch Deliveries

As part of enhanced safety at campuses, all Pflugerville ISD campuses do not accept deliveries from meal delivery services or restaurants for student lunches.

Parents may still bring outside food for their children if they plan to deliver the meals directly to their child’s designated lunch period. All guests are required to follow existing safety protocols and check in with ID at the front office.

Online Athletic Tickets

Athletic tickets for all high school athletic events hosted at the Pfield are sold online. Home and visiting sports fans can purchase their digital tickets online before they arrive.

PTA/PTO

Parents, guardians, grandparents, teachers, staff, community members — anyone who wants to help children can join their campus’ PTA or PTO. Visit your campus website or contact their front office to learn more about their parent organization.

School Supplies

Please visit our website for a list of school supplies for elementary and middle school students. There are no school supply lists for high school students. Teachers will inform students on their first day of school if there are any particular supplies needed for class. However, pens, pencils, and notebooks are generally required. If you have questions about school supply needs for your student or if you purchased prepackaged school supplies from the campus PTA, please ask your student’s teacher.

Welcome! We’re delighted that you’re going to join the Pflugerville ISD Pfamily! PfISD builds school boundaries based on geographic location and proximity to campuses. To determine your child's home campus, please click on the attendance map and input your home address.

During the enrollment process, you will need to provide proof of address, proof of age of the student, and the student’s immunization record to the school; for high school students, also provide transcripts for grades 9-12. Call your school’s Registrar for more details or if you need assistance. 

Kindergarten

Children must be 5-years old on or before September 1 to start kindergarten. A child must be 6-years old on or before September 1 and must have completed kindergarten to enter first grade. Learn more about enrolling and attending kindergarten at a Pflugerville ISD school.

Prekindergarten

Qualifying children must be 4-years old on or before September 1 to start prekindergarten. When new student enrollment begins in July, parents/guardians need to create a portal account to complete pre-kindergarten registration. Learn more about qualifying for prekindergarten and how to enroll.

Transfers

PfISD has multiple programs on high school campuses that are open to students who are zoned for a different campus. If your child is interested in transferring to another campus for a specific program, please visit our in-district transfer page for more information, or visit your school counselor. 

Pflugerville ISD also accepts transfers for students who reside outside of the district. If you live outside of the district and are interested in attending a PfISD campus, please learn more about our out-of-district transfer process.

Counseling Services

School counselors are present to support the mental health needs of every student across the District. Parents and students may find resources on the counseling services website.

Social Work Services

School social workers are licensed mental health professionals who can assist with student mental health concerns, and provide support for students and families' physical and emotional needs. They serve as liaisons between school, home and the community, and help to remove barriers to learning. Visit the Social Work page for more information. 

Immunization Information

Students must be up to date on all required immunizations each day they are enrolled in PfISD. Proof of immunizations is required at the time of enrollment. Free and reduced-cost immunizations are available through a variety of local agencies. For more information, call PfISD Health Services at 512-594-1980.

Copies of vaccinations updated during the summer may be sent to shots@pfisd.net. Please include the student's name, date of birth, grade, and campus in the email, along with a copy of the shot record.

Immunizations

Student medications

Students with daily medication needs must complete a Medication Administration form on the Health Services website. All requests for medications must have an MD signature on the form. No medications will be given without an MD and parent signature.

The PfISD Health Services website also contains forms for asthma, anaphylaxis, food allergies, diabetes, and seizures.

Anonymous Alerts

Pflugerville Independent School District is pleased to utilize a communications tool called Anonymous Alerts® for anonymous reporting of behaviors on campuses. Reports such as bullying, cyberbullying, depression, dating violence, drug or alcohol use, threats against the school, weapons on campus, and more can be made online or via a mobile app. All messages submitted remain completely anonymous.

To send reports from the Internet go to: https://www.anonymousalerts.com/pfisd/
To send a report from your phone:

• Download the Anonymous Alerts® app for free from the Apple Store, Google Play store, or the Chrome store
• Start the App, enter login: pfisd and password: pfisd

• Add a screenshot, photo or video about the incident 

Campus Entrances

While on campus, all visitors are required to check in at the front office. Visitors should be prepared to show their ID and state the nature of their visit to the front office staff.

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. Simply type in your home address to see the closest stops, pick-up and delivery times, and bus numbers.
