25-26 Harvester Guide Flip

“Welcome Harvester Family!”

I hope your summer has been restful, joyful, and filled with memories that will carry you into the new school year with renewed energy. As we prepare for the 2025–2026 school year, I want to extend a heartfelt welcome to all of our returning families and a special greeting to those who are new to Pampa ISD. We’re honored you’ve chosen to be part of our school community.

There’s never been a more exciting time to be a Harvester! Thanks to the support of our community through Bond 2023, we are actively transforming our campuses to meet the evolving needs of today’s learners. From the new Career & Technology and Fine Arts addition at the high school to the expansion at Travis Elementary, these projects are more than buildings—they are bold investments in our students’ future.

At Pampa ISD, our mission goes beyond academics. We are committed to helping students become compassionate, competent, confident, and future-ready. Guided by our vision, Pampa ISD students are courageous innovators utilizing their own unique abilities to invest in their world. Our staff is dedicated to creating learning environments where every child feels seen, supported, and challenged to grow.

This year, our focus remains on deepening literacy, strengthening processes and procedures, and fostering meaningful connections with families. One of the greatest predictors of student success is consistent attendance. We ask for your partnership in ensuring your child is present and engaged. Every day counts.

Our commitment to safety remains steadfast. With dedicated school resource officers, trained personnel through our Guardian Program, and a strong School Safety and Security Plan, we work diligently to provide a secure environment where students can thrive.

Thank you for entrusting us with your children. Together, we will celebrate achievements, support one another through challenges, and build a culture of excellence rooted in respect, resilience, and community. I am proud to be part of this remarkable district, and I look forward to the year ahead with great hope and enthusiasm. — With gratitude, Hugh Piatt II

Parent Communication At Pampa ISD, Parent Communication is one of our most important goals. We love to share news about our students and communicate campus/district information. We use several platforms to communicate with our students, families, and community. Please follow us on our social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. Our website is a great place to find information about specific departments, calendar events, and news.

The district has moved all of our Parent/Student communication to the platform, ParentSquare. We are very excited about the features that ParentSquare gives us. Please download the ParentSquare app and set your notifications to your preferred time. If you prefer to receive notifications/communications at the end of your day, select digest. You will have access to all of your student’s campus and district information at your fingertips. You will be able to communicate with teachers and staff through this platform. Never miss another event by subscribing and syncing your calendar with campus and district calendars in ParentSquare. Emergency notifications will bypass personal notification preferences to deliver the emergency notification in real time.

In case of an incident, the district will file the claim and provide a loaner device. * Students and their families are responsible for the care of district-owned devices. For students not covered under insurance, parents/guardians are liable for any loss or damage.

Insurance Covers: • Accidental damage (drops, cracked screens, liquid spills) • Theft or loss • Fire, flood, power surge, natural disasters Exclusions: • Damage caused by intentional misuse or abuse • Cosmetic damage (damage that does not affect functionality)

For more details, visit our page on the Pampa ISD website.

Pampa ISD Attendance Requirements Attending school every day and arriving on time is crucial to a student’s academic success!

School Hours: Pre-K and Elementary 7:45 a.m. to 3:20 p.m.

PJHS/PHS: 8:05 a.m. to 3:40 p.m.

What is an excused absence?

• Personal Illness.

• Observance of a religious holy day.

• Documented health care appointments. A note from the health care provider must be submitted upon the student’s returen to campus. The student must attend a portion of school on the same day.

What if I need to miss school?

• If a student is absent, the parent or guardian must call the school that day to report the reason for the absence or complete the absence form in the ParentSquare app.

• For additional guidance on excused absences, please contact your campus.

It’s Texas State Law! • State law requires that students attend class regularly to receive credit.

• Ten or more unexcused absences in a six-month period could result in a complaint of Parent-Contributing Non-Attendance being filed in the Justice of Peace Court.

Here are some facts about Absenteeism! (from AttenanceWorks.org) • Absenteeism in the first month of school can predict poor attendance throughout the school year. Half the students who miss 2-4 days in September go on to miss nearly a month of school.

• Absenteeism and its ill effects start early.

• Poor attendance can influence whether children read proficiently by the end of third grade or be held back.

• By 6th grade, chronic absenteeism becomes a leading indicator that a student will drop out of high school.

• Research shows that missing 10 percent of the school year, or about 18 days in most school districts, negatively affects a student’s academic performance. That’s just two days a month and that’s known as chronic absence.

• When students improve their attendance rates, they improve their academic prospects and chances for graduating.

Special Populations

Transportation Our Transportation Department strives to achieve customer satisfaction by providing safe, timely, and efficient transportation that contributes to the educational success of all students through staff committed to excellence and continuous improvement.

Transportation Link

Families with younger children should practice walking to their assigned bus stops together and help their children memorize their bus numbers and school name.

Parents should also write down their child’s stop location and school name and place it in a safe location accessible to the student. Ensure that your child knows their bus number and school name. Pampa ISD does not offer transportation for Pre K/Head Start students.

To request transportation, parents need to complete the Bus Rider Request Form accessed by using the Transportation Link.

NOTE: Transportation department personnel cannot enter or edit information in the district’s student database. For address changes, parents should contact the registrar at their child’s campus.

The Pampa ISD Special Populations Department serves students with disabilities. Our goal is to provide students with the skills and tools they need to be their best in the classroom and to prepare them for life after graduation. Pampa ISD offers a continuum of services for students with disabilities based on the individual student’s needs which are determined collaboratively by parents and school personnel. If you have a child that needs assistance regarding special education or 504 services or you suspect your child may have a disability, please contact: • The school principal • Pampa ISD’s Director of Special Populations For more information regarding students with disabilities, call the Office of Special Populations at 806-669-4700 or visit our page on the Pampa ISD website, www.pampaisd.net.

Health Services

Immunizations

In the case of injuries or illnesses during the school day, Health Services are available at every campus. The parent or guardian listed in the enrollment application will be contacted when an injury or illness occurs. Please list additional emergency phone numbers when completing the emergency contact information during the online enrollment process. Parents or guardians should contact their student’s school with any changes to emergency contact numbers.

All students shall be immunized according to the Texas school immunization requirements. Please visit their website for additional information, www.dshs.state.tx.us.

All prescribed and over the counter medications to be given at school will require written authorization signed by the physician and parent. For more information, contact your school nurse or the District Nurse, Tamara Gutierrez at tamara. gutierrez@pampaisd.net.

Exclusions from compliance are allowable for medical contradictions or reasons of conscience. The school nurse can provide guidance on age-appropriate immunization schedules. Acceptable proof of immunization includes a physician-validated history of illness or personal immunization records from a licensed physician or public health clinic.

A student who meets one of the following criteria may be provisionally enrolled: • Transferring from one Texas public school to another.

• The student is defined as homeless according to the federal McKinney Vento Act. • The student has received at least one dose of each specified age-appropriate vaccine and is on schedule to receive subsequent doses. The student must complete the next dose to be considered provisional.

To remain enrolled, the student must complete the required subsequent doses in each vaccine series on schedule and as rapidly as medically feasible and provide acceptable evidence of vaccination to the school.

The Gray County Public Health District will continue to immunize students interested in a Covid-19 vaccine, including those who are on Medicaid, do not have health insurance or are under insured. For more information contact the Gray County DHHS at (806) 802-7002.

Parents who have CHIPS, private or commercial insurance will need to see their medical provider for more information on school required vaccines.

Fuel the Day with Good Nutrition!

Breakfast and Lunch All Pampa ISD campus cafeterias participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and the School Breakfast Program (SBP).

You will be notified by letter from the Child Nutrition office about the determination of your student(s) eligibility. Applications are available at the Child Nutrition office, Pampa ISD website, and online at https://www.paypams.com/Online/App and at each school campus office.

Child Nutrition Link

The Benefits of the Free/Reduced Lunch Program DID YOU KNOW? Students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals are eligible to receive many other benefits, such as • SNAP • ACT fee waiver • College application fee waiver • Free tuition and books for Dual Credit Classes at Clarendon College • Community resources • Discounts on some phone/internet provider services These applications not only benefit your family but also assist the school in receiving state aid funding, which directly ties into every district program and department, including instruction, athletics, technology, etc.

Apply today!

Paypams Parents are now able to use a Direct Pay Link to manage their student’s account.

Paying for school meals or á la carte food items is convenient and fast with our online service.

Student Sign-In/Sign Out As parents, we understand the importance of keeping our children safe and secure at school. For the 25-26 school year, we will be utilizing the Raptor Visitor Management System for our schools to maintain a secure environment while providing parents with a seamless and efficient way to manage their child’s attendance. It’s a simple yet effective solution to enhance student safety and accountability. This system will replace the previous process where students were signed in and out on a paper log.

Grading

No Pass/No Play Policy

Pampa ISD distributes progress reports and report cards during and at the end of the grading period to notify parents/ guardians about their student’s academic performance.

Parents can also log in to the Ascender Parent Portal through the website, www.pampaisd.net or through the QR code below. All academic subject grades 4th-12th are based on a numerical scale of 0-100. Any grade below 70 is failing. Pre-K/Head Start through 3rd Grade are standards-based. The district’s grading guidelines are available at each campus and on the Pampa ISD website under the Parents and Students tab.

Under the state’s “no pass/no play” law, a student must pass all courses for the previous reporting period to be eligible to participate in extracurricular activities.

Failure to meet this requirement eliminates a student from competition or performance.

The student is allowed to practice or rehearse with other students. For more information on grading and report cards, contact individual campuses.

Report Cards Pampa Junior High and Pampa High School provide report cards six times during the school year. All elementary campuses provide report cards 4 times a year. Parents/guardians should receive the report cards shortly after the grading period ends (six weeks for secondary and nine weeks for elementary).

Early Pickup Policy While we encourage you to make appointments outside of the school day, we understand you may need to pick up early. A student may be released during school hours to the contact or emergency contact listed in Ascender or to a person who has written permission from the listed contact. Parents, guardians, or designees will need to present a valid form of identification to the school office. Additional contacts with a right to transport can be added to a student’s Ascender profile during the registration/annual form process.
