Hello Austin Parkway Community and Go Sailors!

I'm so proud to be the principal of Austin Parkway Elementary, home of the Sailors! This year marks my twenty-seventh year in Fort Bend ISD, and I'm thrilled to be here. My path to education began in the Air Force as an air traffic controller, and I later earned my degrees from the University of Houston—Go Coogs! Over the years, I've had the joy of working as a teacher, a reading specialist, a title I specialist, and an assistant principal.

My husband and I recently celebrated 27 years of marriage, and we have four beautiful daughters who are all unique in their own special ways. I believe in setting high expectations for all children, including my own, to help them build the skills they need to succeed and become their very best selves.

I am truly honored to serve the students and staff at Austin Parkway. My goal is to create a positive and supportive environment where everyone feels welcome and where they are encouraged to grow and reach their full potential. I'm excited to partner with all of you this year. Our theme is "Seas the Day!!" Let's have a fantastic 2025-2026 school year together.
 
Kind regards,
 
Audrey Macklin

Ms. Cynthia Kirkpatrick

It is my privilege to serve as the Assistant Principal of Austin Parkway Elementary. This school year will be my 25th year in Fort Bend ISD. I have served as an assistant principal for the last seven years. Prior to that, I was an elementary classroom teacher for eighteen years. I have had the privilege of teaching second, third, and fourth grades. I will always be a teacher at heart!

I am excited to serve alongside Mrs. Macklin to lead the many talented teachers and students. My goal is to continue to provide a safe, supportive, and challenging environment in which all students can thrive. I am looking forward to working with parents, students, and the APE community to make this a successful school year as we “Seas the Day”.
