At Austin ISD, we dedicate our lives as educators and community leaders to the future generation, cultivating civic-minded students. And thus we must condemn in the strongest possible terms the violent insurrection that occurred in our nation’s Capitol this past week. Our students have witnessed an attack on our democracy against the horrific backdrop of the ongoing pandemic and are looking to us to make sense of our future.

The Austin ISD 2020–21 Family Survey is now available and is accepting responses online through March 12, 2021. Please click the link below to access the survey. 

Reilly Elementary is showing its commitment to the environment and our waterways. The school, in partnership with the city of Austin, won first place in the Green Infrastructure Award from the National Association of Flood & Stormwater Management Agencies.

Reilly won the award for its rain-catching landscape. Five rain gardens and 12 cisterns capture thousands of gallons of stormwater from the school's roofs and parking lots, reducing erosion and flooding problems on the property. The new landscape will also help improve the water quality and flow in Waller Creek.

McCallum High School has taken to the great outdoors by creating an outside learning space for science, english, and world language classes. 

The space provides teachers and students a fun, scenic learning environment that helps accommodate social distancing.

“McCallum is blessed with several courtyards so we have made efforts to beautify and allow teachers the space to have their classrooms in these spaces,” said Associate Principal Gabe Reyes.
