Social Studies: Early English Settlements & Colonies
Young Photos Needed:
Please submit your child's baby/toddler/younger photo for the yearbook. A photo can be emailed to Many Munroe, the Yearbook Coordinator, at austinelementaryyearbook@gmail.com or turned into your child's homeroom teacher. Please send these by October 31st.
Additional Supplies:
Students will not be provided with a Mustang Folder this year. We were unaware of this change until the beginning of this year, so if you would like your child to have a take-home folder, please purchase an additional folder for their use.
Background Checks:
Are you interested in helping in the office or classroom at Austin? Are you willing to accompany a group of students on a field trip, serve in our classroom during holiday parties, or help the PTO with events? To be eligible to volunteer on any of the CISD campuses for any of your "yes" responses above, you must complete a Background Check every year.
