Hello Texan family! The school year seems to be flying by, so I wanted to remind you to save your students special memories by purchasing school photos and the 2025 yearbook!

School pictures for 9th-11th grade students were done through our partner company, CADY Studios. You can view and purchase your student’s photos at https://home.cady.com/order-photos/

Senior portraits are also done through CADY Studios. You can book your student’s senior session and purchase photos at https://store.cady.com/. The company will only be on campus TWO more times (Dec. 12 and Jan. 16). After that, students must go to the studio. The deadline to get senior cap & gown/yearbook photos is Jan. 26. There is a $10 sitting fee.

The 2025 yearbook is available to purchase for $75. You can buy online at www.jostens.com or send $75 cash to Ms. Donath in room 2210. Payment plans are available on the website. The website is also where you can purchase a recognition ad for the back of the yearbook. These prices range from $25 for 1/8 page to $200 for a whole page. We only reserve 200 copies of the yearbook and we’ve already sold 55. Once they sell out, we DO NOT order more… so get one for your student ASAP!

We hope that you and your student have a happy, successful and rewarding school year. Thank you for supporting our school and our yearbook program!

🎉 A HUGE Texan Shoutout to the SRHS Class of 1984! 🌟 We are so grateful for your generosity! Through the Walter Woodard Memorial Golf Tournament, they raised funds to equip our Rayburn Girls and Boys Golf Team with new gear. They donated a customized golf bag for each student, along with two practice nets and a Mobile Launch Monitor to analyze their swings! 🏌️‍♀️🏌️‍♂️ The team is excited to hit the next tournament looking GOOD! 😄 Special thanks to Kevin Hayes, Daren Bonner, Jeff Ivey, David A Verastegui, John Lunsford, and Rod Mire of the class of ’84 for making this happen! Who’s ready to cheer them on? 🥳🏆

Each day you show up matters! Attendance is part of the student success equation.

Parents,

Celebrate your student’s achievements this year by creating a personalized recognition ad in the 2025 yearbook! It’s a wonderful way to honor their hard work and milestones.

To order your ad, simply visit this link: Order Recognition Ad. If you need assistance with the design process, you can find helpful tips in the Quick Start Guide here: Quick Start Guide.

Thank you for supporting your student’s journey!

Parents, we need your help. We are seeing a lot of students being dropped off late to school, causing them to miss important instruction. If you drop your student off, please make sure you are getting here early enough to give them time to get to class by the 7:15 tardy bell. If they are more than 10 minutes late to class they will be marked absent. If this happens more than 10% of the time (~8 days) your student will start accruing make up time, and could be denied credit for the class, putting them off track for graduation. Doors open for students at 6:45, giving them plenty of time to eat breakfast and get to class on time. Remember, all PISD students get free breakfast and lunch this year. Thank you for your help and support in this matter, please let us know if you have any questions.
