It's not too late to donate to the Austin Elementary fund raiser - Wild Stampede. Our class has raised $555.00 of our $1,100.00 goal. We are currently in 19th place (out of 23 classrooms). Thank you so much for your support!
Fiftieth Day of School
On Friday, October 25, first grade will be celebrating the 50th day of school. We will be doing fun activities throughout the day centered around the number 50 or life in the 1950’s.

On this day, we will be dressing up in 50’s clothing. Some examples of this could be, but are not limited to: rolled jeans, a white shirt, slicked back hair, poodle skirts, ponytails, bobby socks, saddle shoes, jean or leather jackets, scarves, etc.
We are looking forward to seeing the students dressed in their best 50’s day attire and celebrating this special day together!
Coppell Education Foundation - Give For Grants
The First Grade educators at Austin Elementary would like the opportunity to bring a Science Lab to our learners! Through the exciting and educational High Touch High Tech program - Sea Ya' Later - students can experience hands on, TEK based science experience in our classrooms. We can't go to the ocean so this program would allow us to bring the ocean to Austin Elementary!
