2024-2025 PTA Membership Drive
Dear Austin Parkway Sailors,
Your kiddos have an exciting goal of reaching 200 PTA members this year! WHEN they achieve that target, they’ll be rewarded with a popsicle recess!
By joining PTA, your $10 membership fee helps fund your child’s field trips and other fun activities throughout the year. At Austin Parkway, we encourage you to "PTA Your Way," meaning you’re welcome to volunteer or support us as much or as little as you like—even if that just means becoming a member. Any adult who cares about your child—whether it’s parents, grandparents, aunts, or uncles—can help them reach their goal by joining the PTA.
Click here to join—it should take less than 2 minutes! We'll be sure to keep you posted on the kids' progress toward their goal.
Thank you,
Jamie Flores
PTA President

Late Pick-Ups
School hours are 8:05 a.m. - 3:25 p.m. After school dismissal is usually over by 3:45 p.m. If you are late, park and come into the building to sign out your child(ren).

carrie.sharp@fortbendisd.gov before 2:00 p.m. There will be no exceptions. We will not release your child(ren) after 3:00 p.m. due to our dismissal process.
Car Rider Tags MUST BE DISPLAYED During Pick-Up
***Students will not be sent to a cone if the person picking them up does not have a tag.***
Display your child's car rider tag in your windshield during dismissal. If the assigned car rider tag is not displayed, you will be asked to park and report to the front office with a valid ID. You may request extra car rider tags at the front office.
All students are assigned a car rider number even if they never use the car rider line at dismissal.
