The House System at Austin Elementary
In order to support our learning community, we have implemented the house system school wide this year! Each K-5 learner is assigned to a house. This is a team that learners will get to interact with and get to know in addition to just their grade level or home room. Learners can earn points for their houses by demonstrating Austin expectations.
Learners were very excited as they drew for their houses today! They drew pencils to determine their house. We will implement lunches with houses, house meetings, and team building with houses throughout the school year. Be sure to ask your learner about their house this weekend!
- Are they a dreamer in SOMNIUM?
- Are they a courageous member of ANIMO?
- Are they a friend to all and a member of AMICITIA?
- Are they a respectful member of QUANTUM?

CISD is implementing additional safety and security procedures for the 2019-2020 school year in order to ensure the safety of our students, teachers, staff and campus visitors.
- Please remember that the door into the office is locked due to the district's new safety and security procedures. For your convenience,there is a drop off table located just outside the door. Please mark any forgotten items with your learners name and classroom before leaving on the table. The items will be delivered throughout the day. Water bottles, snacks and lunches will be delivered to the forgotten lunch table.
- As in the past, all visitors and volunteers must check-in at the front office through the Raptor system. All visitors and volunteers must bring a photo ID to check in, and passports are accepted. Please visit www.coppellisd.com/Domain/3443 for details.
- All volunteers must complete our new background check application at least one week before volunteering. Visit www.coppellisd.com/volunteer or see the article below for more information.
