Austin Raiders

As always, the safety and security of AISD students, families, teachers and staff is our top priority. While we know that these are uncertain times, you can be assured that we remain committed to doing everything in our power to protect our school communities. We can’t wait to see our students again and look forward to a successful 2023-24 school year in AISD!

Speak Up for Safety

Some examples of reasons to reach out for help for yourself or others are bullying, violence, personal health, suicide prevention, or a crisis at home. If this is an emergency or life-threatening to the student or others, please call 911.

Austin Elementary School

Established 1959

 

Located in the Brookhollow neighborhood in southwest Abilene, Austin serves 730 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade. It is the “family atmosphere” at our school that makes it such a special place. The Stephen F. Austin family includes teachers, families, students and community members working together to make sure that all of our students achieve their full potential. With this winning combination, we hope to continue serving students and making Austin a great place to learn.

Our PTO offers many opportunities for volunteering during the school year.  PTO sponsors a Fall Fest, 50’s Day, Yearbook, Movie Night, and many other amazing and meaningful activities throughout the year for both our students and faculty.  Please join the Austin PTO so that you will be well informed of all the ways you can help as well as events that your family will not want to miss!

Austin has had a winning tradition and continues to be a leader among Abilene schools.  Our purpose is to have our teachers, families, and community be actively involved in our students’ lives so they can: Be here to learn, learn to lead, and lead everywhere! At Austin, Great Happens Here!

Families are invited to eat lunch with their students Tuesday-Thursday and Fridays after 12:00pm. Our campus is closed to lunch visitors on Mondays.

Visitor Lunch is held in our campus MakerSpace. Parents are not able to enter the main cafeteria. If eating with your student, please arrive with your photo ID at least five minutes before your student’s posted lunch time.

You are invited to drop off lunch to your student any day of the week! If dropping off, please plan on arriving at least five minutes prior to your student’s eating time to allow us to notify your student’s teacher before they drop off their class in the cafeteria. If lunch is dropped off after the start of your student’s lunch time, we cannot guarantee they have time to retrieve and finish it before heading back to class. 

We cannot accept DoorDash or any similar deliveries for students.
