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 November 1, 2017

Nov 01, 2017 | Bud Whileyman


Next week we have Donuts for Dads on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Please note your date to attend depends on your last name initial.  We do this to try to balance out the number coming each morning.  The students always look forward to this day as they get to sit down with their dad and enjoy some breakfast treats.  Looking forward to having a good turnout for this special event.

Next Tuesday we will be having our Veterans Day program at 1:15 for the students and 7:00 pm for our parents and community members.  Mrs. Brown, our music teacher, always does a great job in recognizing our veterans.  We want all our veterans to feel appreciated for their service to our country.

Next week we will begin our report card parent conferences that are done at the end of the first 9-weeks.  Thursday and Friday, November 9th and 10th, will also be early release days for students.  Children will be released at 11:30 to allow time for the parent conferences.  This will be a time for you to find out how your child is doing in class.  You may ask the teachers questions for any clarifications.
