Take Action!
- Cunningham's Academic Showcase is right around the corner - March 3rd from 5:30 - 7:30. Students and staff are excited to celebrate all their hard work and learning!
- Join the official Cunningham Elementary, Austin ISD Facebook page. This page is the official district page, and is different from the Cunningham Cobras page. We are in a competition with a few other AISD schools to see who can get the most likes between now and February 28th so that we can win a free catered lunch for our staff! Like it and share it - far and wide! We love our staff and we want everyone to enjoy this free lunch!
- We are doing school tours every Tuesday at 4:00 and Friday at 9 - share with friends (flyer below). We'd love for current families to come, too. It's great to be able to open up the building again!

Covid Protocols
Protocols are still the same for this week until further notice:
Masks are required on all AISD facilities - please help us keep our staff and students safe - wear your mask at all times on campus.
During Drop Off
During Pick Up
- Please stay in your car during drop-off and pick-up - it helps keep everyone safe - from traffic and from spreading germs. Students should exit to the passenger's side of the car and our staff is here to help.
- Return to one-way clockwise traffic in hallways during the day (clockwise with the staff lounge being 12 o’clock, 300 wing being 6 o’clock)
- Classrooms have air purifiers in them
Recess will resume to zoned area rotations with classes not mixing
Zone A: Inside the Track
Zone B: Playground
Zone C: Under the BB court (when Coach Maines isn’t using it)
Zone D: Little Playground (when Pk3 & Pk4 aren’t using it)
- All plexiglass dividers in the classrooms must be placed back-up - no exceptions
Assigned seating in cafeteria, with plexiglass dividers, and students sitting every other seat
Students will have the option to eat outside daily when weather appropriate - >65 degrees
52 kids can eat outside at any given time - with our lunchroom rotation, this is manageable for us. This allows for 4 students per table.
If a student doesn't want to or can't eat outside (allergies/temperature), indoor dining is still an option - including plexiglass and socially distant dining.
Remember - Cunningham is a Covid Testing Hub for Austin ISD Staff & Students. If you would like for your student to be tested, please fill out this form. The passcode is AISDTEST.
