Dear Austin ISD community,
Welcome to your Comprehensive School Transition Support Guide. We understand that change is a significant step, and our unified transition team is dedicated to providing a seamless, welcoming and accessible experience for everyone in our community. Our core commitment is to support you through every step of this process, helping you find your new home and a true sense of belonging within your new Austin ISD community.
Transitions between school levels can be exciting, but also stressful. This session will explore how shifts from 5th to 6th, 8th to 9th, and senior year to college affect students' mental health, behavior, and executive functioning. Learn how to support your child emotionally and practically through each stage of change.
Wednesday, April 29, 6-7 p.m.
The Austin ISD Board of Trustees has voted unanimously to move forward with a new partnership aimed at supporting Burnet, Dobie and Webb middle schools. The district will enter into a three-year partnership with the non-profit Texas Council for International Studies (TCIS) to help turn the three schools around and achieve acceptable accountability.
Thursday, April 23, 9–10 a.m.
Austin City Hall

We are excited to share that Mayor Kirk Watson will officially proclaim April 23 as "Austin ISD Volunteer Program Appreciation Day." This proclamation recognizes the massive impact of our community, specifically honoring the 18,609 volunteers who dedicated their time last year to tutoring, mentoring, and campus support. This is a significant milestone for the Volunteer Program and a great opportunity to showcase how the Austin community directly enhances our educational environment.
A new calendar designed to give students more high-impact instruction and prevent summer learning loss was approved by Austin ISD’s Board of Trustees at their March 26 voting meeting.
The changes known as Additional Days School Year will be applicable to the following nine campuses: Linder Elementary, Pecan Springs Elementary, Sanchez Elementary, Wooldridge Elementary, Burnet Middle School, Dobie Middle School, Mendez Middle School, Paredes Middle School and Webb Middle School.
The Austin ISD Board of Trustees approved a pilot for the Additional Days School Years calendar to add instructional opportunities over the summer and on select Saturdays at no cost to families.
During the 2026-27 pilot year, ADSY would be implemented at Mendez Middle School and at eight of our campuses with Turnaround Plans: Linder ES, Pecan Springs ES, Sanchez ES, Wooldridge ES, Burnet MS, Dobie MS, Mendez MS, Paredes MS, and Webb MS.
This meeting is in person.
Join us on Monday, 4/6/2026 in person, 6-7:30 p.m. in Room 221.
In person meetings will be held at the Austin ISD Headquarters, 4000 S. Interstate 35 Frontage Road, Austin, TX 78704, Room 221. Links to the virtual meetings will be shared via email.
