Message from the Interim Superintendent (En español)

Dear Austin ISD Community,

Thank you for showing up and giving it your best this first week of school. Seeing everyone’s work in action, from students, to staff, to families, was a beautiful reminder of how our schools truly are the heart of our community.

I want to acknowledge that for many in our Austin ISD family, amidst the excitement and anticipation of a new school year, the last week has been particularly challenging. Our hearts go out to the Anderson and Travis school communities. We are here for you and we will do everything we can to support you. 

Raising Critical Thinkers Watch Party

Families with students of all ages will benefit from the strategies presented in this session, "The Question is the Answer." Austin ISD's Advanced Academics team is bringing this critical thinking event to homes around Austin ISD.  Families who attend will develop strategies to cultivate inquisitiveness, truth-seeing, and self-confidence through great discussion questions.

On Wednesday, August 16, the Texas Education Agency released the results of last spring’s State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness tests for students who were in the 3rd–8th grade during the 2022-23 school year. The newly released STAAR scores highlight the hard work of Austin ISD students, parents, teachers and staff. To see a student’s STAAR results and other resources, families can follow these five steps: Log in to the Austin ISD Parent Portal. Navigate to the Frontline SIS Parent Self Service tile. You will be directed to log into Frontline Education using your same User ID and Password as the Austin ISD parent portal. Once logged in, click on the Texas Assessment Parent Portal link next to your child’s name. The Texas Assessment page will open and list all STAAR results, with the most recent listed at the top.
