Place the White Austin Visor Tag in your front window.

If someone else picks up your child, please make sure they have the White Austin Visor Tag.

Please follow the car rider line route on the side of the building. 

All car riders must be picked up in the car ride line. 

Walkers/Bikers

Please meet your student(s) at the flag pole in the front of the bike rack.

Walker/Bikers will be released first. Please be at the flag pole at 2:40 p.m.

Kinder and 1st grade students must have an adult or older sibling present to receive their child. Individuals receiving Kinder or 1st grade students at the flag pole will need to be in possession of a picture ID, so the staff member can verify release authorization on the first day of school. We will then give a White Austin Walker/Biker Tag to use the following days. You could also get a White Austin Walker/Biker Tag from your child's teacher.

For Kinder and 1st grade, please email your child's teacher if you give permission for your child to be released by an older sibling. We must have this parent permission documentation on file. 

We will not release students to parents parked in the parking lot. You must meet your child at the flag pole. 

News

Astronotes for January 14, 2015

Jan 13, 2015 | Bud Whileyman

parents and teacher equal success

We have a three day weekend coming up with Monday being a holiday celebrating Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  This Friday is the end of the 2nd 9-weeks so students do not have to wear uniform dress.  The following Friday we will have our Celebration of Success Assemblies for the 2nd 9-weeks.  The schedule for the assemblies remains the same with 8:15 for 4th and 5th grade, 9:15 for 2nd and 3rd grade, and 2:00 for Kindergarten and 1st grade.  Life Skills will be celebrated at 8:15 and PPCD at 9:15.  We look forward to seeing you at your child’s assembly.

Extended day for grades 3-5 will be starting at the end of January and the beginning of February.  Each grade level will be notifying parents of students needing to attend. Times and dates will be included in the notification.

Class group pictures will be next Wednesday, January 21st. We ask that students wear their uniform dress so that the class pictures will be more “uniform”. 

On January 28th at 6:00 pm, Wessendorf will be hosting a Course selection Information meeting for this year’s 5th grade students.  The 6th grade campus will be explaining courses required and electives that may be chosen by the students.  I would recommend that all 5th grade parents attend this meeting.

If your child is ill and will not be attending school, please call 832-223-1006 or email the nurse's office. A note from the parent must be turned in following any absence from school.

crosswalk
You may have noticed new signs in the afternoon at pick up time.  We are encouraging parents to use the cross walk area at the end of the drive so that children can cross with more safety.  Parents can wait for their children in the large concrete pad area at that end as well so that the area where children are waiting is not so congested.  The teachers can see the children easier and will be able to keep the line moving faster.  We thank you for your cooperation in this effort to keep everyone safe!
