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.

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 April 25, 2018

Apr 25, 2018 | Bud Whileyman

Astronotes for April 25, 2018 – from Bud Whileyman

I hope everyone has noticed the new paint on the building.  We appreciate our district making our campus look so much better.  Our PTO is also going to donate funds to have AUSTIN painted on the front wall by the bike racks.  It will be in 44 inch letters and should enhance the look of our building.  Thank you to our PTO for upgrading the look of our facility.

This week is kindergarten roundup. We have had many parents come in to register their students for next year’s kindergarten classes.  We encourage you to come in this week to get your child registered if you have not already done so.  The more students we can get signed up, the sooner we will be able to determine staff needed for next year. 

Our PTO is looking for volunteers to fill several spots for the 2018-2019 school year.  Please send an email [email protected] if you are interested.  See the flyer below for more info!
