Holiday Party
If you are wanting to attend the classroom Holiday Party, the office is asking that you complete this form so they can have your visitor sticker ready for you. 



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. The form must be completed at least a week prior to the volunteer event. It is best to go  ahead and fill one out now, just to be safe! Click here for the volunteer background check form!
