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 October 19, 2016

Oct 19, 2016 | Bud Whileyman

 

We have our annual Fall Festival Carnival this Saturday from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm.  Teachers will be giving out candy treats at the beginning of the event just like we did last year.  We invite all of our families and students to come out and enjoy this fun activity.  There will be many activities for the children to enjoy as well as booths for adults to do some shopping.  This is one of our biggest fund-raising events of the year and we look forward to a big turnout.  It looks like the weather will be beautiful so enjoy!

This Friday is the last day of the nine weeks.  It is also an early release day for elementary schools.  School will be dismissed at 11:30 so please make arrangements to have your child taken care of after school.  Also, since this is the last day of the nine weeks, students may have a free dress day.  Have a great weekend!
