About Renner PTA

Here is the list of board members and contacts. PTA board and general meetings appear in the calendar. As a PTA, it is our goal to establish a structure that will provide the following:

  • Academic enrichment and enhancement opportunities for Renner students;

  • Parent education programs;

  • Communication about PTA and school activities;

  • Social opportunities to foster school spirit;

  • Information about PISD and state legislative issues;

  • Volunteer programs to assist students, teachers, and staff;

  • Teacher and staff appreciation opportunities;

  • A warm, safe, and inviting atmosphere for all Renner students, staff, and families;

  • A link to the community surrounding Renner; and

  • Funds to meet the general PTA budget from PTA sponsored fundraisers to accomplish PTA goals.

Absences and Early Dismissals

Student Absence: Remember to call the Child Safe Line at 469-752-5800 ext.35800 if your child has an early appointment that requires a late arrival to school or to report an absence.

Need to pick up a student early for a doctor’s appointment? If you know in advance about the appointment please send your child in with a note stating the exact time you will be picking them up. Have them check in with the front office that morning and we will authorize to have them released from class five minutes earlier. This allows them to go to their locker and be in the front office when you arrive to check them out. Remember to get a note from the doctor to turn into the attendance office when your student returns to school. Any questions can be directed to Mrs. Clapper (ext. 25804).

Homework Requests: Requests for homework should be called in to Mrs. Davis at ext. 25802. A request should be made on the third day of absence by 9am. The work may be picked up that afternoon at 3:45.
