A Note From the Principal

October 25, 2026

Happy Sunday, PWE Families!

We have a busy and exciting week ahead at Piney Woods as we close out the month of October!

❤️ Red Ribbon Week

This week, we will celebrate Red Ribbon Week and encourage our students to make healthy choices!

Monday - Hat Day (Red Ribbon Week Assemblies)

Tuesday - Pajama Day

Daily attendance is so important! Every day in the classroom is an opportunity for students to learn, grow, and build strong foundations for their future. I am excited about our October attendance challenge wrapping up this week, it will be a smashing good time. Just a quick reminder --There will be no school on Friday, October 30, for students.

Thank you for all you do for your students and Piney Woods . We appreciate you. Have a wonderful week!

Attendance Matters

For the 2026–2027 school year, our goal is to reach 96% attendance! Regular attendance is essential to your child’s academic growth, success, and engagement in learning.

Attendance notes can be sent directly to the Attendance Office at PWEattendance@splendoraisd.org.

October Campus Attendance Challenge: “Pumpkin Smash: Smashing Attendance Goals”

One student’s name from each class that had perfect attendance for the month of October will be drawn for the opportunity to throw a pie at the face of their favorite administrator.
Teacher in each grade with the highest student attendance percentage will get to climb the ladder and smash a pumpkin. The kids then decide who is the winner!

District Attendance Challenge: At the end of the school year, all students who maintain perfect attendance from bell to bell throughout the entire school year will be rewarded with a field trip to Splendora Skating Rink!

Students arriving after 8:35 will be marked tardy and must be accompanied by an adult to the front office. Students arriving on or after 9:30 will be marked absent.

Foundation Corner

Community Support. Classroom Possibilities.

When our community comes together, great things happen for Splendora students!

Thank you to everyone who supported the Splendora ISD Education Foundation’s Men (& Women) Who Cook—from our chefs and sponsors to our volunteers and guests. Your generosity helps the Foundation fund educator grants and student opportunities across Splendora ISD.

Behind every Foundation event is a bigger purpose: giving teachers the resources to bring creative ideas to life and helping students discover new possibilities. We’re grateful to the people and businesses who make that work possible.

Want to be part of what’s next? You can give, volunteer, or share your career experience with students.
