WEEKLY NEWSLETTER OF O. HENRY MIDDLE SCHOOL
Dear O. Henry Families,
I hope you are continuing to enjoy a wonderful summer. While there are still a few weeks left to relax and recharge, our team has been hard at work preparing for another incredible year at O. Henry.
Next week, our staff will continue preparing for the start of school as we get ready to welcome our new Mustangs during Mustang Camp on Tuesday, August 4, and Wednesday, August 5. Mustang Camp, our new student orientation, is a wonderful opportunity for incoming students to become familiar with our campus, meet new friends, connect with teachers, and begin building confidence before the first day of school.
One important reminder: If you have not yet completed your student's official Austin ISD registration, please do so as soon as possible. Registration must be completed by all families every year, even if you are returning to O. Henry. Over the next week, our staff will be reaching out by email and phone to families who still need to complete registration. Registration must be finalized before students can receive their class schedules for the 2026–2027 school year. Completing this step now will help ensure a smooth start to the year.
Thank you for partnering with us as we prepare for another outstanding year. We can't wait to welcome everyone back to campus and continue building a school where every student is known, challenged, supported, and inspired.
Make it a great day to be an O. Henry Mustang.
Giddy Up!
Camie Fillpot
Principal
