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 December 13, 2017

Dec 13, 2017 | Bud Whileyman


On Wednesday, January 10, 2018, you will be receiving a new student password in your student’s take home folder.  This new password will go into effect on Saturday, January 13
th. The old password cannot be used after Friday the 12th. When students come back to school on Tuesday, January 16th they will be required to use their new password so please take some time to help our younger students learn this 6-digit number before they return to school after the MLK holiday. The reason the district is changing the student passwords was that there was a security breach within the district.  This new password will be used by the students until they graduate unless a parent requests a change due to a security issue.  Hopefully the new passwords will be easier to learn as they are all numeric.

We will be having a UIL assembly on Monday, December 18th at 1:30 in the cafeteria to recognize students who participated in the UIL. All awards will be given out and punch and coolies will be served for students and parents.  Our students did very well in the competition and we want to let them know their performance was a job well done!
