P.I.E. School Liaisons

  • Have your school’s partnership opportunities featured on the P.I.E. web page!

Simply submit a brief 100 word paragraph describing what your school’s needs are and how a new partner can help meet that need.  I will feature a different campus on a rotating basis.  Email to TCantu@IrvingISD.net

  • Remember to work with our ITS to develop a section on your campus web page about the need for volunteers and partners.  One campus has gotten two partners by doing this!  It WORKS!
     
  • Remember that the Partnerships in Education Office is open year-round. Be sure to send me contact information on existing partners who need to be reactivated. Several campuses have had success recently so it is worth the time! At the same time, if you have new companies or organizations in mind, send me your wish list if you haven't done so already.
