Austin ISD Food Services has reinstated its weekend meal program, allowing families with students under the age of 19 to again pick up bundles, which include six meals, during Friday distribution. 

Families are recommended to bring bags to help get their weekend meals home safely on Fridays. Meals are provided for free at more than 70 locations while school is closed due to COVID-19 precautions. AISD is working in collaboration with the Texas Department of Agriculture.

Austin ISD is seeking suggestions for naming the modernized Norman Elementary School, which will open in January 2021 to serve both the Norman and Sims elementary schools communities. 

Superintendent Paul Cruz surprised four teachers during their virtual faculty meeting today to announce their selection as Austin ISD's 2020 Teachers of the Year for elementary and secondary schools.

Being selected as a Teacher of the Year is one of the highest honors the district bestows on AISD educators.

AISD is encouraging district families to update their contact numbers and email in their Parent Cloud account by phone or online. Updated contact information will help keep families informed with up-to-date school and district messages amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

To update by phone, families may call their respective campuses. 

To update online, families may follow these steps:

AISD will close its facilities and open spaces, including tennis courts, tracks, football fields, basketball courts and playfields, effective 7 p.m., April 9.

This measure is in alignment with the city of Austin and Travis County's Stay at Home - Work Safe Order. We are committed to doing everything possible to ensure the health of its staff, students, families and the community at large.
