Dear Diamondback Family,

Hello again Diamondbacks! A mild chill is certainly in the air.........a reminder that Fall is upon us. Just as we have done in the past, we are hosting a Fall Festival at Dessau MS on Saturday, November 14th from 2:00 - 6:00 p.m. Please join us! It will be great fun for the whole family! We will have several booths, plenty of food, and a silent auction.

There is a Pflugerville ISD Community Forum Scheduled this evening, Oct. 29. Topics will include school finance, budget planning for next year and an opportunity for stakeholders to ask questions to District officials. Pflugerville Superintendent of Schools Charles Dupre and other District leaders will present information on the state of Pflugerville ISD, including an update on student achievement, a look at school finance and discussion about the budget process for the District. The forum begins at 7 p.m. at the District administration building.

Just a reminder that IPR information will be sent home with students today. Please be sure to ask your child for this important information. In addition, if you have not already picked up your Parent Portal login information, you can do so by dropping by the front office.

This week we have received some exciting news! A little birdie told me that the Pflugerville Education Foundation might be paying a visit to Dessau MS to award five of our teachers a $2900 grant to support our ACE being A PRO Advisory Program.........but I won't ruin the surprise!

Lastly, please note that no costume attire is permitted at school on Friday, October 30th. If students come dressed to school in costume they will be asked to call parents for a change of clothes or will be issued dress code shorts/T-shirts. Also, please talk to your child about not bringing candy to school. They may enjoy the candy they collect at home with family and friends.

That is all for now! Climb high, climb far; your aim the sky, your goal the star!

Sincerely,

Diana Sustaita
