Ms. Nutt's Newsletter

The Austin Elementary PTO has organized our one and only fundraiser for the 2022-2023 school year. We are raising money to support many of our school wide activities and events, including Field Day, House Celebrations, teacher grants, etc.

Please consider registering your student and/or making a donation to our school by clicking the link: https://www.getmovinfundhub.com/classroom-teacher-webpage/63246ff72462b

Many thanks to all who have already registered and donated money. Our class is currently in 9th place.

We will have a school wide Color Fun Run on Thursday, November 3 to celebrate! Be on look out for more information from our wonderful PTO.

Beginning, Friday, October 14, you are invited to eat lunch at school with your child. We eat lunch in the cafeteria from 11:00-11:30 a.m.

Please click the link to RSVP. The office will have you pre-checked in and have your name tag ready! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Austin_Family_Fridays

Children who don't have parents attending, will be able to celebrate by having "Free Seating Day" with a friend!

First Grade learners will be taking a Field Trip on Tuesday, October 25 to the Coppell BioDiversity Center and Life Safety Park. We will be leaving the school at approximately 8:30 and will return by 2:00 p.m.

We will need at least four parent volunteers. I hope that you will check your calendar and consider being a chaperone on this trip. Remember - you must have an approved Criminal Background Check on file.
