Family Choice
Online Registration for 2021-2022 is now open!
Please log into your family portal account at AISD Parent Portal to register/update your student's information for next school year. Please check the boxes carefully for yearbook permission or for photographs and for campus messages. It is so important to our campus that we get everyone to complete online registration so we can keep and maintain our amazing staff!
We will have curbside registration for our incoming Kindergarten students, April 12-16, M/W/F from 9:00-11:00 in the front driveway. Please bring copies of your student's birth certificate, immunization record, current utility bill, and your driver's license. Please call the Kiker Office at 512-414-2584 if you have any questions.
What will next school year look like?
At this time, Austin ISD is awaiting information on the 2021-2022 school year requirements from the Texas Education Agency (TEA). We know that on-campus learning will be an option available to families next year, just as it is this year. AISD safety protocols will align with the Center for Disease Control and Austin Public Health. AISD also shared that there will be a hybrid/remote option for 2021-2022.
We realize you’re eager for information, and we will communicate more with our families when we receive guidance from TEA.
Summer Planning
Get to Know the Staff: Each week we will feature a few staff members and their "I Am Kiker" poem.
