England School News

Hello Leopard Families-

We wish a Happy Mother's Day to our families! We hope that each of you had a restful and fun weekend.

PTA:

We would like to give a heartfelt thank you to our community! Our fabulous England PTA organized an amazing Teacher Appreciation Week and our teachers felt so loved! Thank you for all the thoughtful gestures to celebrate the educators in your child's life.

Class of 2024 Senior SPOTlight:

We can't believe it's already time for our fifth class of Leopards to graduate high school! These 130ish smart & sweet students were our fabulous 5th graders in 2016-17. They helped us learn, grow, and build our foundation as a school, and they continue to pioneer and pave the way as they graduate and pursue their dreams. Many of them started with us as 1st graders in our first year open; 2012-13!

As a way to honor our seniors, we'd love to hear from all of them and give them a virtual high-five and internet shoutout!

Can you please help us spread the word to our Class of 2024 students about this opportunity?

Senior Info Form: Former Leopard Senior SPOTlight - c/o 2024

We're also asking our seniors to please mail us a graduation invitation/announcement with pictures! We will be making a Graduate Wall with the announcement for display when you come for your Senior Walk in May.

Please mail announcements & photos to Elsa England Elementary, c/o Emily Kupersztoch, 8801 Pearson Ranch Road, Austin, 78717. You can also drop one off at the school if that's easier.

We hope your seniors will return to Elsa England in their cap and gown on Tuesday, May 21st for our Senior Graduation Walk & Reception!

The walk will take place at 8:30. We'd love to see our seniors walk the halls of their elementary school one final time so we can celebrate with them in person!

Dismissal Process:

Thank you for your support, patience, and feedback as we refined our dismissal process. We anticipate it will take a few more days for us to get the system running to its full potential. Your feedback will be valuable during this time.

A few requests/reminders:

- Students are released at the 2:55 bell.

- Please pull to the cone where you see your child waiting.

- Display your placard with the number where we can easily see it, such as on the windshield or window. (This allows us to quickly call out the number for your child to begin making their way to their zone.)

- If you do not have a placard, please reach out to your child's teacher.

- If your child is a part of a regular carpool, we can assign your whole group a number. If this would be helpful to you, please use this form to request one:

We have already seen many positive impacts on student safety and comfort due to this shift in our process. Thank you for your feedback and partnership as we pilot this system.

Career Week:

Career week is BACK! Thank you to our counselors and staff for organizing this for our Leopards. Please see the attached flyer for the daily themes.

We look forward to a week of learning and fun with our Leopards! Thank you for your continued support!

In partnership,

Krystall Williams
