The Last Week of School!
We made it to the last week of the 2022-2023 school year! Congratulations to your Mountain Lion(s) for the completion of a successful school year. When I look back on photos and past newsletters, I am amazed and SO proud of everything we've accomplished this year as a campus. Academic excellence, student leadership, school and family partnerships, arts & creativity, dynamic teaching practices... the list goes on. We are the Mighty Mountain Lions- Hear Us Roar!
Yearbooks are being distributed as I type this message and our students are eager to flip through pages upon pages of special memories. Our teachers and staff are savoring these last few days with your child and it's with mixed emotions when they wave goodbye to them on Thursday!
If you're a planner like me, you'll want to mark your calendars for August 11, 2023 at 9am. This is the Meet the Teacher event for the 23-24 school year. As in years past, your child will learn of their classroom assignment a couple days prior to Meet the Teacher. Doors open for the 1st Day of School on Monday, August 14th at 7:15am! The Austin ISD 2023-2024 official calendar is here: https://www.austinisd.org/sites/default/files/dept/calendar/Calendar_2023-2024_2.pdf
Thank you for trusting our teachers/staff with your children and thank you for the partnership we've forged this year.
Happy summer! 🌷
Respectfully,
Angela Frageman
