To All Parents:

Effective March 22 through April 23rd, the window to apply for both intra-district and inter-district student transfers will be opened. During this period, an electronic "online" application process will be available on the District's Web-Site. Interested parents and PISD employees will be able to "submit" the application, but only on-line. This method will drive the applications directly to one department/mailbox to compile and organize the requests in a date stamp order.

Following the close of the application window, each campus principal will receive a list of the transfer applicants to review, approve, and/or deny. After principal comments have been reviewed by Administrative Services, letters or e-mails will be sent to parents regarding the decision by May 15th.

a couple of reminders:

In order to submit a valid application, the student must be registered with PISD
Out of district applications will be accepted for staff and employees' students and for returning seniors who were PISD Students in 11th grade.

Please call if you have any questions,

Catch Up On The C.A.T.C.H. Program

CATCH (Coordinated Approach To Child Health) is a TEA approved Coordinated School Health Program designed to promote physical activity, healthy food choices, and prevent tobacco use in elementary school aged children. By teaching children that eating healthy and being physically active every day can be FUN, the CATCH Program has proved that establishing healthy habits in childhood can promote behavior change that carry into adulthood.

The CATCH Program focuses on coordinating four components: the Eat Smart school nutrition program, K-5 and 6-8 Classroom curriculum,a Physical Education program, and a Family program. The Coordination of health messages between these four component areas is critical to positively impact children's knowledge and behavior. For over 10 years CATCH has guided schools, families, and children in the process of being healthy. CATCH, the largest school-based health promotion study in the U.S., has demonstrated that behaviors such as eating foods high in saturated fat and physical inactivity can be changed.
