Car Riders   

Please get a White Austin Visor Tag from your student's teacher. 

Place the White Austin Visor Tag in your front window.

If someone else picks up your child, please make sure they have the White Austin Visor Tag.

Please follow the car rider line route on the side of the building. 

All car riders must be picked up in the car ride line. 

Walkers/Bikers

Please meet your student(s) at the flag pole in the front of the bike rack.

Walker/Bikers will be released first. Please be at the flag pole at 2:40 p.m.

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

Astronotoes for September 17, 2014

Sep 16, 2014 | Bud Whileyman

I want to remind parents that students may enter the building at 7:00 am in the mornings.  Even though some staff enter the building before 7:00, students will not be allowed inside until 7:00 am as these staff members may not be able to supervise students because of other obligations.  If I arrive before 7:00 I will normally let students in as I will be responsible for their supervision.  Please help us with this problem as we do not want students in the building that are not supervised.   

I talked with Mr. Jerry about how the traffic was going out front in the morning and afternoon.  He said we seem to have more cars dropping off and picking up than we have had in previous years.  He mentioned a couple of areas that he felt needed attention.  One area was having drivers signal their intentions when turning into the pickup area.  This would let other drivers know what to expect when they have to make a decision as to what they were going to do.  Another area he mentioned was for cars to keep a uniform distance from each other.  Some vehicles do not pull all the way forward while waiting in line and this prevents more cars from getting into the drive and out of the street.  If we all work together we can try to make the drop off/pickup area as smooth as possible.
