🏫 AISD Consolidation Community Engagement 💙
As mentioned last week, Maplewood is no longer proposed to be closed and merged with Campbell next school year. Palm and Bryker Woods are also no longer under consideration for closure.
AISD is seeking feedback on the updated plan via this comment card, accepting submissions through November 19th.
The final plan will be voted on soon! On Thursday, November 20th, 6pm, there will be a board meeting where the trustees will vote on the consolidation plan. This will be held at the Austin ISD Board Auditorium, 4000 South Interstate 35 Frontage Road, Austin Texas 78704. You can watch live online, and register to comment in-person or over the phone: learn more here
Thank you to all the community members who have gotten involved in this process so far! We will be here for our Campbell scholars no matter what. Stay dragon strong! 💙
🥨 Snack Shack 🍬
Snack Shack is in full swing, and we need more help for upcoming Fridays!
Every Friday, we need volunteers and donations to make Snack Shack run! If you’re interested in selling the snacks, you can sign up here through the rest the year (don’t forget to register as a volunteer! Details below). Volunteering involves being at the school from 2:35 until about 3:30, and selling the snacks at one of our three stations.
And if you want to donate goods to be sold, you can sign up here. Thank you in advance for your support, we can’t run Snack Shack without you!
