💙🦘 BIG WEEK AHEAD AT AUSTIN! 🦘💙

We have 3 important things happening this week, plus a few reminders to help our families stay connected and support our Roos!

🎓 Our FIRST-EVER Parent University!
Come learn more about your child’s grade level, what they’ll be learning this year, and how we can partner together for a successful school year!

🎉 BIG Kahuna Fundraiser Kickoff!
This is our BIGGEST fundraiser of the year, and the money raised comes right back to our Roos! Our PTA helps make so many extras possible—from exciting programs like BMX assemblies and student field trips to academic needs, music risers, Chromebooks, a track, and MUCH, MUCH MORE!

🤝 Our First PTA Meeting of the Year!

🦘 We are still teaching our students what it means to be ROO PROUD!

P — Polite
R — Responsible
O — Organized
U — Understanding
D — Determined

We would LOVE for you to help reinforce these traits at home! Our goal is bigger than great behavior at school—we want our Roos to grow into kind, responsible citizens in our community and our world.

A few easy ways to practice ROO PROUD at home:
• Say please, thank you, and excuse me
• Take responsibility for chores, belongings, and mistakes
• Keep backpacks, rooms, and school materials organized
• Show understanding by listening and thinking about how others feel
• Practice determination by not giving up when something is hard
• Look for ways to help family members, neighbors, and others in our community
• Ask your child: “How were you ROO PROUD today?”

When school and home work together, these little habits become BIG character traits. 💙

There is always a lot happening at Austin, and we are so thankful to have our families alongside us!

Let’s have a GREAT week, Roos! 💙🦘
