Pine Burr Elementary

PBE Classroom Holiday Parties – Parent Information & Registration

Dear Pine Burr Families,

Cleveland ISD will have early release at 2:20 p.m. on Friday, December 19. Even on this special day, instruction and learning will remain a priority. Please read the important information below so we can have a safe, organized, and enjoyable celebration for our students.

Each class will have a short, 30-minute celebration:
•PK–1st Grade: 11:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
•2nd–5th Grade: 12:30 p.m. – 1:00 p.m.
This schedule helps us protect learning time and keep the day running smoothly.

🧁 Snacks Allowed (Store-Bought Only)

If you would like to send something for the party, please remember:
✔️ Store-bought snacks only
✔️ Allowed snacks include: cupcakes, cookies, chips, and juice pouches
🚫 No meals — This includes items such as:
•Pizza
•Fast food (McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A, Taco Bell, etc.)
•Hot food (tamales, chicken, rice, hot dogs, etc.)
•Anything that requires reheating or utensils

Keeping snacks simple helps teachers clean their rooms and get them ready for when students return in January. Please note: The front office will not accept meal-type items.

👗 Parent Dress Code Reminder

To ensure a respectful and safe environment for all children, please make sure your clothing follows these guidelines:
✔️ Shoulders, midriff, and chest areas must be covered
✔️ Shorts, skirts, or dresses should be an appropriate length
✔️ Undergarments should not be visible
✔️ Clothing must not display:
•Profanity
•Drugs, alcohol, or tobacco logos
•Violence or offensive images
•Inappropriate or suggestive content

Visitors who do not meet dress code expectations may be asked to adjust or may not be allowed to enter the classroom areas.

Visitor & Safety Guidelines

To ensure safety and avoid overcrowding:
•All visitors must pre-register using the form below. Pre-registration gives you faster check-in on the day of the event. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScby1tQ6lydFD6bamEsX4XNEJ0sevYiXxtMPfJbrDi74GZLNA/viewform?usp=header
•Visitors who do not register in advance will check in through the regular Raptor system, which may take longer.
•Registration closes Wednesday, December 17 at 5:00 p.m.
•No school-aged children are allowed to attend the parties (including children absent from their own school inside or outside Cleveland ISD).
•PK–1st grade students will stay in their classrooms and will NOT join parents in upper-grade celebrations. This helps prevent overcrowding and ensures space in classrooms for visiting families.
•No physical ID equals no entrance to the building. We will not be accepting pictures of people's IDs.

Early Check-Out Option
Families may check out their child from the classroom at 1:00 p.m.
Students who remain on campus will be dismissed at 2:20 p.m. during early release.
