Ms. Pett's Class Celebrating Random Acts of Kindness Day!
To celebrate Random Acts of Kindness Day (and Mrs. Pett’s birthday), our class had a donut-themed “Sprinkle Kindness” party! We read LOVE by Matt de la Peña, discussed how we can show kindness to others, and wrote how we can sprinkle kindness in our everyday lives. We learned that sometimes the best gift we can give is within ourselves!
2021-2022 Federal & State School Report Card
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Austin Parkway Elementary has posted two required, annual performance reports, School Report Card and Federal Report Card, on the campus website for parent information. Both reports can also be accessed on the FBISD website using the provided link (https://www.fortbendisd.com/Page/927).
School Report Card (SRC)
The SRC is a report required by Section 39.305 of the Texas Education Code and is prepared annually by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for each campus in the state. The School Report Card (SRC) combines accountability ratings, data from the Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR), and financial information to give a broad view of campus performance. Available for each campus in Texas, the SRC is intended specifically to inform parents and guardians about a school’s individual characteristics and its academic performance.
A detailed description of the information contained in the SRC can be found in the 2021-22 School Report Card Definitions document. (Link to 2021–22 School Report Card (SRC) Definitions)
Federal Report Card (FRC)
The FRC is a report required under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA). Each year, TEA prepares an FRC for the State of Texas, each school district and each campus in Texas which is available for public viewing at the link provided (Federal Report Card).
A detailed description of the information contained in the FRC can be found in the Information Included in the 2021-22 Federal Report Card. Link to TEA Federal Report Card Information
If you have difficulty accessing the information from the website, hard copies of the reports are available at the district or campus office. If you have questions about the information, please contact the front office at 281-634-4001.
Sincerely,
Audrey Macklin
Principal

The PTA typically provides monetary support such as programs, the winter and spring parties, technology, staff development for teachers, field trips, etc., as well as voluntary time and hours by providing people to assist with multiple school activities.
Please contact our PTA President, Mrs. Christi Henneke at president@austinparkwaypta.org for information regarding any questions or to volunteer for the PTA.
