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.

Astronotes for August 31, 2016

Aug 31, 2016 | Bud Whileyman


We look forward to seeing many of our parents at Curriculum Nights next week.  Tuesday will be K-2 and PPCD.  Thursday will be grades 3-5 and Life Skills.  This night is an informational night to allow you to understand how your child’s classroom operates.  Procedures and class routines will be presented and any questions about the class will be answered.  If you have questions about your individual child please schedule a conference with the teacher to discuss these.

Let’s try to keep improving our drop off and pickup areas.  In the afternoon please pull all the way forward when picking up your student.  Your child will come to your vehicle and that way we can load many more students at one time and keep the line moving.  Try to have your car seats located on the side in which your child will enter the vehicle which is the back right.  This way you won’t have to get out of your car to load your child.  Remember everyone wants to move as quickly as possible to get their children home.  Parents are doing a great job of having their signs displayed in the windshield with student name and grade level.  This also helps us to identify students and get the right children to your car in a punctual manner.

Have a great Labor Day Weekend!!!!
