We are excited to celebrate the progress of our Thunderbirds!! Powell has made significant progress moving from a D to B campus! This growth represents the hard work of our students, dedicated staff and supportive families! Thank you for believing and partnering with us every step of the way.

As we kick off the new school year, our transportation team is excited to welcome your students back on board. 🚌

The first week brings new routines, heavier traffic, and schedule adjustments, so we appreciate your patience and partnership in keeping everyone safe.

Please keep these key reminders in mind for the start of the year:

1. Pack Your Patience: Bus routes may experience delays during the first few days as drivers, students, and campuses adjust to new pickup and drop-off routines.

2. Seatbelt Requirement: If your student’s bus is equipped with seatbelts, Texas state law and district policy require students to wear them at all times while the bus is in motion.

3. Upcoming Student Scanning Measure (Effective Sept. 8): Beginning September 8, we will introduce a new safety measure requiring students to scan their student IDs when boarding and exiting the bus. More details on badge distribution and usage will be sent out in the coming weeks.

4. Arrive Early: Please have your child at their assigned bus stop at least 10–15 minutes early during the first week.

5. Double-Check Routes: Verify your child’s route number, pickup location, and scheduled times on our district portal before Monday morning.

6. Campus Traffic: If you drive your child to school, allow extra time and adhere strictly to school zone speed limits, crosswalks, and drop-off procedures.

Thank you for helping us start the year safely and make it a fantastic school year! 🎒👏

HAPPY Saturday, Powell Families
We would like to invite all of our Powell Families to our "BACK 2 SCHOOL BASH" on 07/25 from 8:00- 11:00 AM.
We prioritize backpacks and school supplies for our Powell students first.

For some reason, we run out of backpacks and supplies, we will make sure to get your student's information so we can have it when school starts.
Thank you to CIS, Powell's PTA and Toyota's Big Summer Give Back Team!

We look forward to seeing our Thunderbird Families!
Have a great weekend!

⚡️ The Countdown is ON, Powell Thunderbirds! ⚡️

Parents, take a deep breath... summer is winding down, and the 2026-2027 school year is officially around the corner! School kicks off on Monday, August 10th, and we cannot wait to welcome back our amazing returning families and give a shoutout to our brand-new Thunderbirds! Get ready to watch your kiddos SOAR with purpose and make memories that will last a lifetime. 🚀

đź“… SAVE THE DATE: Meet the Teacher Night!
When: Thursday, August 6th
Where: Powell Cafeteria & Classrooms
The Game Plan:
⏰ 4:45 PM – 5:00 PM: Quick PTA Meeting (Come see how you can get involved!)
⏰ 5:00 PM – 5:30 PM: Session 1
⏰ 5:45 PM – 6:15 PM: Session 2 (Perfect if you have multiple kiddos!)

This is the chance for your student to scope out their new classroom, high-five their teacher, and get those back-to-school jitters out of the way.

Bring those heavy school supplies with you to drop off so your child’s desk is ready to roll on day one! No heavy backpacks on Monday morning = total win. 🎉

To ALL of our families, welcome back and welcome to Home of the Thunderbirds! Together, we are going to make this the best year yet.
