ALLASO RANCH:

We are very excited to be going on our three day field trip to Allaso Ranch in December! Below you will find the link to the presentation from our parent information meeting, and your child came home with the paperwork packet on Friday. All paperwork and money is due back by November 27th.

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 come to Allaso Ranch with us this year? Or do you want to 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.
