Carlisle Connection

We want to let you know that construction on Bluebonnet Trail through the center of the park isn't finished yet. We understand the challenges for children getting to Carlisle Elementary and share your eagerness to open the park and trails. However, safety is our first responsibility.

The construction crew is currently working on installing all trail and utilities to within 5-feet of the new restroom building, just off that central trail axis. The trail through the center of the park will not be completed until the restroom building is in place and all utilities are connected.

We hope to open the new Blue Bonnet Trail extension by the practice fields soon. We are coordinating with communications providers to raise low transmission cables over, as they're not within safety clearances. Once the cables are raised, we can safely open that part of the trail. I'll keep you updated on the progress.

You may view project FAQ’s and the trail closure map on the Jack Carter Park page.

Carlisle families,

The district released student schedules on August 5th. This is the first year that the district has chosen to do a district wide schedule release in which parents can log in on this day and see their child's teachers. It may still be necessary to revise schedules to best meet all the needs that may arise. With that being said, student schedules are not set in stone and may change due to scheduling needs.

We appreciate your understanding.

School ends at 3pm each day for the 24-25 school year. Please make arrangements now to ensure your child will be picked up at 3pm promptly each day. On-time pick-up helps ensure your child's safety and ensures our staff can conduct their necessary after school duties, meetings, and other appointments. If you cannot pick up your child at 3pm each day, consider making other arrangements or enrolling them in PASAR or another after school care program.

Your child is allowed a snack time in their classroom daily. Please be thinking about snacks that you can easily send with your child to school that will be nutritious and help them as they learn! See the image below for more guidance.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Bus Badge and Parent Placard: Parents with Pre-K, K and 1st Grade MUST follow this guideline and should see their campus for their badge and parent placard. Students will be returned to their home campus if the parent does not have this identification placard. This important safety procedure requires the parent/guardian/designee to have their Parent Placard that matches the Bus Badge on the student's backpack. This provides reassurance for parents that our students are matched with their guardian at the bus stop daily.

For all your school bus-related inquiries, please visit our dedicated Transportation web page on the school district’s Transportation website. Here, you will find essential resources, including:

Route Information: See our Route Finder to confirm your bus information. We recommend checking this the day before school to confirm any updates to your students' route information.

For any medication you bring to school, the nurse will need a doctor's note in order to be able to accept it and administer it.

2. Ask for help if you need it. Brainstorm with family, friends, your child's doctor, or even the school about how we can best support your child being in attendance each day this year.

3. Establish your school sleep schedule now. Start gradually getting your child into the routine of going to bed at their established school year bed time. Say bye-bye to summer bedtimes early!

4. Make sure you have any appointments taken care of now so your child can be in school each day. Schedule any well checks or immunizations necessary to begin the year.

5. Talk with your child to manage any back to school stress. See how they are feeling about the new year, and help them manage any feelings by ensuring they have what they feel like they need to be successful.

6. Get excited with your child for the new year! The attitude of the adult is so important and leads your child in their reaction. Be positive about their teacher, new friends, and the excitement of a new school year.
