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 October 14, 2015

Oct 13, 2015 | Bud Whileyman

We are fast approaching the end of the 1st nine weeks.  October 23rd is the last day of the nine weeks and it is also an early release day. Students will be dismissed at 11:30 so please make arrangements to have your child picked up if they do not ride the bus or walk.  At the end of the first nine weeks, report card conferences will be scheduled for parents to visit with the teacher about their student’s progress.  The report card will be given to the parents at this conference.  Your teacher should be contacting you to schedule this important visit.

Money from our first major fundraiser need to be turned in by this Thursday.  Hopefully, we will have a successful event and raise enough money to give our students many of the extras that make school more enjoyable.

Our biggest fundraiser is the Fall Carnival which will be held on Saturday, October 24th from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.  You may have noticed that the PTO has already begun decorations for the event.  We will be having a door decorating contest to get everyone in the swing of the season.  Come out to our annual carnival and enjoy the festivities.  It is all for a good cause!
