Please Welcome Austin Parkway's New Counselor, Mrs. Rhonda Rivers
My name is Rhonda Rivers, and I am so excited to be the Austin Parkway Elementary School Counselor! I will be supporting our little Sailors by teaching skills and providing resources that promote their social-emotional, academic, and career success.
I plan to visit all classes in the next few weeks for a counselor introduction lesson. In the meantime, kids will see me greeting them in the halls and checking in on them in their classrooms. I can’t wait to get to know all of our students!
Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, or if I can help in any way!

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.
