July 28, 2026
Dear Families,
We hope you’re keeping cool in this summer heat! Our administrative team, front office team, and nurse are back on campus and excited to prepare for the school year ahead. If you need anything at all as we approach the first day of school on Aug. 18, please don't hesitate to reach out.
For specific questions about:
- Enrollment: Email courtney.cartlidge@austinisd.org
- After school clubs: Email ara.doffing@austinisd.org
- Health room/Nurse: Email shannon.mickelson@austinisd.org
To help get your Mountain Lions back into the school rhythm, check out the tips below under "Preparing Students for Back to School!" Reading, journaling about summer adventures, and practicing basic math facts are simple, effective ways to ease back into learning routines. (And you can never go wrong with a visit to the local public library!)
Take care and see you soon!
Respectfully,
Angela Frageman
