Letter from Ms. Bedford
Hello Smallville,
We had such an exciting week! Both our volleyball and football teams played amazing games and I love watching our Cougar athletes in action. We also had our Cougar band members play some fun jams this morning during our morning arrival. One of the great things about this wonderful campus is the variety of extracurricular activities that our students can join.
We have a lot of great initiatives going on so please take a look below for more information:
Staggerbrush Intersection Updates
I want to thank our community members for organizing and reaching out to the City of Austin to assist us in problem solving the congestion we see at the intersection of Staggerbrush and Monterey Oaks Blvd. There is quite a lot going on during both morning arrival and afternoon dismissal. I spoke with city officials and they stated they will be conducting a survey of the location to collect data and then they will present their findings to produce options for a solution. I want to thank our crossing guard for his continued help in ensuring the safety of our students and families. I appreciate the kindness you are showing him as he makes sure that our students and parents are able to cross the street safely. As more updates arrive, I will continue to let you know.
Security Fencing
Starting Monday, September 18th, our campus security fencing project will begin. This project will take a few weeks to complete. This new fencing will not only ensure the safety of our students in all inside and outside spaces of our campus, but it will also help us in expanding our usable land for our Green Tech Academy. The fencing will allow us to create more spaces for our animals, storage spaces, and outdoor classroom spaces, but most importantly this fencing will keep our students safe. More information will be provided as we get a more definite timeline of completion. Please check out the link below for a map of the fencing plan:

Football Parents!
We still need you!
Any help Setting Up and Tearing Down tents is appreciated!
We are on our way to revitalizing the Booster Club for our hard working Football Players! Our first order of business is getting some volunteers to help us set up and tear down shade tents for our players during practice. Will you help us??
Please click the link to volunteer for a slot. More information about the Booster Club coming very soon. Please visit this page regularly for updates and also the weekly newsletter.
Please note: If you are volunteering to set-up tents you can come as early as drop-off time, in the morning, to avoid the heat. As long as it is completed by the time practice starts at 2:15pm. I hope this creates some flexibility for volunteering
And also, we have a new sign-up for Gatorade after practice. It is on Parents of Small FB page and also Cougar News.
Thank you so much!!!
New sign-up for Gatorade after practice!
Hello! Thank you all who have already donated Gatorade to the office and/or brought Gatorade after practice. It's been a great way to keep the players hydrated after tough practices. We are asking if (one) 7th grade parent(s) and (one) 8th grade parent(s) are available to bring Gatorades each day for their players after practice. There are approximately 50 players for 7th grade and 48 players for 8th grade. Small bottles are good!
